Get to know the College

A school in earthly paradise

Mt Maunganui College has been welcoming our participants for a long time, with a great track record. Our students have always appreciated the warm environment and limited number of international students at the school, favouring integration between exchange students and their kiwi peers.

The College aims at educating young people who will become an integral part of the local community, focusing on education at 360 degrees and not just through academic advancement.

For this reason the school offers several programs, co-curricular activities, camps and outings aimed at facilitating personal and social development of each individual. A special mention goes to the College's Outdoor Education program - a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow outside the boundaries of a classroom - and to surfing, a hugely popular extra-curricular activity in the area. Ready to fall in love with the nature, the spectacular beaches (a short walk from school!) and the friendly atmosphere at Mt Maunganui College?
