Strong Community: Students, parents and teachers will have a strong sense of pride in Mount Maunganui College, and Mount Maunganui College will foster a positive identity in the broader Mount Maunganui community. Our vision for Mount Maunganui College is to be a Student Centred Learning Organisation where our community recognises that this is a college where: • commitment to our students is paramount • every student has the right and the responsibility to achieve to their potential • every student knows that they matter to their teachers • diversity is appreciated and celebrated.

In our school we choose to manage conflict with “respect” as a basic value of Restoration. Every person has the right to be treated as a person who has dignity and deserves to be cared for. We are looking forward to a positive and productive 2015 and working with your children to help them be all that they can become.
