- From a mother of four:
"Manukau Christian School is a highly relational, high performing school. It is an enormous privilege to be part of a community that seeks to honour God in its operation and weave a biblical worldview through all subjects. I have every confidence that my children are in safe hands, with teachers who are heartily committed to the best possible moral and academic influence that a school may provide."
- From a father of a new entrant child:
"Our little one started her Year 1 journey this year and has just finished her first term, now happily settled into Term 2. As a family who speaks Korean at home, we were so thrilled and quite amazed to see her beginning to read English towards the end of Term 1! The school has such a warm and welcoming feel, with a lovely mix of children from different backgrounds. We truly appreciate the nurturing environment of this smaller school, where it feels like every child is genuinely cared for. It's heartwarming to know that even teachers from other year groups know our daughter by name, which really highlights the personal touch they offer. We couldn't be happier with her start here!"
- From a mother of primary and high school children:
"We have been pleased with the high level of education, support and care that Manukau Christian School has offered our children. The school has a family feel about it with teachers that get to know the children well. The Christian values and teaching are the most important thing that sets MCS apart and the school doesn't compromise on this."
- From a mother of a primary school child:
"Parents and children are made to feel very welcome. The school is open with their communication and children are very happy and settled and learning well. If a child has a problem either with their school work or socially, it's sorted. My daughter has had so much encouragement and support with her Maths, that she's now very confident and empowered. Thank you."
- From a mother of a senior primary student:
"My daughter joined the school only in Term One this year, but the progress is VERY impressive. I noticed that she has now formed the habit of doing home work EVERY DAY, which she never did in the public school. I believe it's the MCS system of parents signing the homework book everyday that really works. I also noticed that my daughter focuses much more on her school work due to her peer's influence - she has reduced the amount of time she spends on social media. Overall, I have found the school has had an amazing influence on her growth in forming positive attitudes and working habits. I wish I had sent her to Manukau Christian school earlier."
- From a mum:
"We have a really positive experience with MCS. My son is thriving both academically and socially, and we really appreciate the supportive and dedicated teachers. The school fosters a caring environment, and communication with parents is always clear and timely."
- From a mum of two boys who transferred her children to our school:
"My sons always look forward to going to school each morning. We noticed they have been motivated since they enrolled at MCS. They enjoy doing their homework. Our younger son greatly improved on his handwriting. The staff are doing a great job. Thank you staff!!"
- From a dad whose two children started in Year 1:
"I am so grateful to the teachers and staff at Manukau Christian School for preparing our children so well for high school. Spiritually and academically they were well equipped and the high standard of work and work habits that were established have been major factors in contributing to their success."
- From a mum of three children:
"I have had the opportunity to sit in with lessons and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the children and teachers interact. As parents we are pleased with the quality of education - even our 9 year old who has dyslexia is reading for pleasure now! The material that is offered to the children is interesting and varied, and the children are stimulated to do their own research - our kids love it!"
- From a mum who has children in Year 1 through to Year 13
"We have had children at MCS from Year 1 through to Year 13. Our children love going to school and it is a very friendly, welcoming place to be. The teachers at the school are very caring of their students and always go the extra mile for them. They have high expectations and this, we believe, encourages children to excel. They have taught our children excellent study skills and self-responsibility and as they have progressed through school, they have been given opportunities to develop initiative and leadership skills. We love the Cambridge curriculum and think that it gives a very high standard of content-rich education, while also developing great critical thinking skills. MCS has prepared our children exceptionally well for whatever they choose to do after finishing school."
- From a mum whose daughter has begun in Year 9:
"This is my daughter’s first year (as a Year 9 student) in MCS, and we are thankful to God for leading us here. Our brethren in the church has recommended MCS to us, as we started looking for a better alternative from state schooling. In the six months in MCS, we have seen our daughter developed further academically and spiritually. The school truly delivers quality Cambridge curriculum with a priority to point students to Christ and developing Christ-like individuals. The standard in discipline is commendable too. We are grateful that we have been welcomed here."
