College university in Auckland

“Both my boys board there and are very happy. A lot of opportunities to try out new hobbies and some really nice teachers. The school is very anti bullying so I think there are a few fake reviews here by people who have never been connected with the school. Kids from all backgrounds attend and there is definitely a place for everyone.”

“April 2023 As a proud former pupil of Otahuhu College it is always a great day when I visit the college. Although the teachers from my time have passed or moved on, it is great to see and learn that the teachers of today are passing on to the current pupils, similar values and traditions that l learnt in my time. The current students are equally proud of their school house as I was. As the school motto KIA TAMATANE (Be strong like Tamatane) says.”

“Once went to Liston college for a study trip and the teachers were very friendly and the students there are very nice and polite. I actually made a few friends in there. They were so well mannered. I had an amazing time there. thanks Troy for taking care of me while I was in that school. This is why this school deserves 5 stars”

Highly recommend it to anyone ready to take their career to the next level.”

“The oldest university in New Zealand.”

“A true New Zealand Icon. Many people "say" that this is where the story of "Evil john" Originated. If you ever took history, you'll know that THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PLACE OF THE 19TH CEMETERY. ALso, while i walkeding past, i dapped up my old buddy St John. Truly just a chill guy, with his THEORETICAL COLLEGE. 3 stars.”

“Excellent experience in ACG UOA Foundation. I learned lots of things here. It's really a sufficient pathway for international students to prepare to study at University of Auckland. nice and professional teacher team. everything is.. just Perfect!!”

“Rosmini is the best school. The boys are well educated, kind, helpful and empathetic to those in need in the community. Would highly recommend sending your child here, for the sporting, academic and religious aspects that builds such wonderful, well-rounded young men!!”

“People say it's a bad school and it has a lot of problems. Being an ex student here it actually does not have that many problems. It's the students who decide to be successful or not, every other school is the same and will provide the same results depending on the student. Other than students there are some teachers who put in that extra effort to see you succeed and stay in contact with you even after school.”

“Fees free was great. I watched everyone else pay an qualify before me, which hurt as a single mum but then my time came, it was tricky trying to balance kids an working fulltime on my own but being able to sit in the dark during my free time an chip away at studying online was so good an now I'm qualified and have studied even further an the hard times seem so far behind me now. I love having qualifications behind me a career, money and a successful life. I'm greatful nztc offered the option to succeed in a way that fitted my lifestyle at the time to help better my future for me an my kids.”

“Excellent service from the team! Great knowledge despite a vast array of books.”

“As a student who comes to this school and writes with a genuine opinion, to whoever is reading this, especially parents, I can confirm to you that the previous 1-star reviews are absolutely baloney. I am just a student. I am currently at Macleans college and been here for a couple of years hence sharing my general opinion. I AM NOT part of any school administration that writes the review because they are biased. Firstly I see these reviews talking about "racism". In the real life, of course its going to exist. Someone will always judge you based on the way you look. But it doesn't mean that it isn't dealt with at this school. There are serious consequences for racism so all aside, its not an issue here at Macleans. Im not a white student either, but I haven't seen 1 teacher at this school, of all I have ever talked to been racist ONCE, ever. Secondly, I see them talking about "They only care about academics." Well its partly true. Your child deserves quality education and the school wants them to be successful in life and if you're not willing to learn or at least give a damn about learning for your own good, then don't blame the school for it. Teachers here actually do a reasonable job at shaping students into successful academics and you also have house tutoring systems and more if you find learning the stuff hard. Ungrateful students who choose to post these bad reviews simply don't realise the plentiful resources they have to become a sucessful student. Now I know that not everyone likes studying. At times, me neither, but the school offers more than academic education. It aims to support a student's goals, and also opens SO much extracurriculars and sports activities if your child is intrested in sports. The reason why I said academic focus is "partly true" is that the school is simply looking for a lot more than just academic excellence. With the wide variety of extracurriculars it also helps students develop skills and become involved with activities they enjoy in the future. Uniform. Theres heaters in classrooms during winter and you have a sweater. Everything else very self-explanatory. Bullying. Yes, sadly, it happens. The bullying obviously comes from students who are either stressed about their life / have something going on in their lives or they're just a prick who seeks attention. I also consider the factor that the stress often comes from the way the school runs, as its harsh academic focus and other aspects can sometimes impact the students. It is NOT easily ignored. The amount of guidance from groups like consuelling etc will support you if you are bullied, and it will also be dealt very seriously by the school. The strict rules and conservative approach actually cut the amount of bullying in this school. I have personally seen many students get stood down or even removed from the school for being stupid. Actually, in my first few years I didn't get along with people either. I was also emotionally impacted by bullying. However, the school helped me become the person I am today through guidance and support. I wasn't an academic nor sporty person either. I hated both. But through reflection and growth I finally understood, the school was trying to help me. It never intended to harm me in any way. And do not say "the school doesn't care about you", that is the most untrue, pathetic, and ungrateful statement I've heard. There are school counselling for a reason. If you are to the point that you actually think the school doesn't care about you at all you need some serious self-reflection. Macleans does a great job at shaping the students so that they have maturity, responsibility, empathy and more. All this, is part of high school. It strives to help your child become sucessful in life and supports their dreams e.g sports and even esports/gaming (if thats what they really want). The “students” who are writing those 1-star reviews are the ones who either have something against this school and have the maturity of a 5-year-old or just don't care about school and hate it.”

“Do not stand By my grave, and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep- I am the thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints in snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle, autumn rain. As you awake with morning’s hush, I am the swift up-flinging rush Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the day transcending soft night. Do not stand By my grave, and cry- I am not there. I did not die.”

“The Quad is a goated place to hang out. Even better when the Pasifika groups are performing and keeping everyone entertained.”

“Amazing university. Highly recommended.”

“I'm giving 5 stars cause I had a good experience. It was the year 2019, these kids from MH thought they were hard. We showed them up G. The moment they came on our turf, no question asked G. 2 right hook and a shin, and those bloody jokes were out cold. Come to this school if you want to become a UFC fighter one day. Also on Wednesday its weed suck party in the Whainga toilets.”

“It's an amazing school, and I think it may be one of the best high schools on the north island. Firstly, its NCEA pass rate is high as a PRIVATE SCHOOL. Secondly, it's in an amazing location. You feel like u are in the countryside from all the breathtaking views. Lastly, all the teachers at the school teach from heart, and it really shows how much they care for the students. In conclusion, it is an astonishing, high achieving school that I think is highly underrated.”

“Our children attend this wonderful College and their academic results have been outstanding. They have both been involved in many sports, arts and music opportunities. Talk to Bruce Tong, the Principal about any queries you may have.”

“It is a private high school optimized for college entrance. It offers one of the few IB courses in New Zealand, and the majority of students are of Asian descent. Accommodation is poor and facilities are poor, but student achievement levels are among the best in New Zealand. The school's curriculum focuses on IB and has a university-going and academic-oriented atmosphere. Graduate university outcomes are generally among the best in New Zealand, but due to the small number of students there are gaps between graduate groups each year. Graduates go to university in various places including New Zealand, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and all over the world. However, from the point of view of children studying abroad, I do not recommend it due to poor dormitories. However, there is no problem as long as one of the parents lives together.”
