school located in Wanaka, New Zealand. We are proud to be the community
school for the Upper Clutha area and also the chosen school for students
from throughout New Zealand and from around the world.
With a roll of above 700, we are small enough to know each student well and
recognise their individual character and needs, but large enough to offer an
extensive curriculum that meets the academic and vocational needs of
individual students, while also offering an impressive co-curricular
programme.
Our staff and students love this college, and are proud of the ‘MAC’ way.
You will find a tremendous sense of warmth and spirit within the school born
from the value placed on positive relationships. From our House Day in Week
1 to our impressive prize-givings at year-end, we set out to enjoy our
successes together.
We aim to ignite passion in every student and develop their potential to be
the best that they can be. We believe in self-responsibility and encourage
our students to learn from their successes as well as their mistakes. We aim
for our students to leave us with the confidence, self-reliance and
motivation to make a difference in the world.
