Welcome to Mission Heights Primary School
We are a primary school serving the Flat Bush community in Manukau Auckland catering for Year 1s to Year 6s. We strive to be a friendly and receptive school, alert to the needs of our young learners and helping them to reach their full potential. We believe forming positive relationships with our parents and our wider community will enable us to achieve this.
Parents are welcome to visit the school. However, school visits are by appointment only so do call reception to confirm your appointment.

GTT is learning to use our summer vegetables from the garden to make our pasta sauce. We are exploring using different herbs such as parsley, thyme, sage and rosemary to add flavour and aroma to our pasta dish. You can also use this sauce to make pizza, burgers and lasagna.
Bike Track is a fun and exciting physical activity which students can develop their confidence and coordination while riding. It provides a safe and engaging environment for students to practice balancing and steering. It helps build gross motor skills, and promotes independence. Whether riding scooters or bikes, students enjoy the opportunity to explore movement in a supportive setting.

A Heartbreaking Loss for Our Garden to Table Team ![]()
It is with deep disappointment and sadness that we share some unfortunate news. Over the weekend, all of our pumpkins and watermelons, which our dedicated Garden to Table (GTT) teams have been nurturing for months, were stolen from our school gardens.![]()
Our students have poured so much hard work, care, and excitement into growing these crops, and today, we have very upset children who were looking forward to harvesting and enjoying the fruits of their labor.![]()
To whoever took them, please understand that this wasn’t just produce; this was a learning journey, a project filled with love, patience, and pride. It’s heartbreaking for our tamariki to see their efforts taken away in this way.![]()
We ask our community to please keep an eye out and help us ensure that this doesn’t happen again. If anyone has any information or would like to support our Garden to Table program in any way, please reach out.![]()
Let’s continue to teach our children the MHP CARE values of Courage, Action, Respect and Empathy - something that this incident reminds us is so important. ![]()
