About Us Most schools are based on a 19th Century model and build innovations on old foundations. The Villa Education Trust model used at Middle School West Auckland, was created to suit students learning in the 21st Century and brings an ideal means of teaching and learning to the information age. The programme involves all students in fantastic learning experiences and caters for all intelligence traits and learning styles.  Academic standards are high and expectations of the students are both demanding and fully supported.  Teaching staff are given minimal administrative tasks as their prime focus is to teach to the best of their ability. Middle School West Auckland offers an integrated, project-based curriculum. The school reflects the 8 Essential Learning Areas as stated in the New Zealand Curriculum – overlaid by a clear Christian philosophy and values. Parents have an integral part in school life and are kept informed of their child’s progress. Staff know each child’s educational needs and ensure they are met. The child’s interest areas are affirmed and they have the opportunity to significantly develop the capacity to direct their own learning. Middle School West Auckland aims to develop the individual talents of every one of its students and to teach them to relate the experience to, and learn through, the everyday world. We take full advantage of the excellent learning resources in the community. Parents are invited to take an interest in all aspects of the schools programmes. They are welcome to take part in both the morning and the afternoon programmes. Please discuss any special areas of interest with a staff member  

Kia ora, Talofa, Malo e lelei, Kia orana, Fakalofa lahi atu, Bula, Zdravo, Anya hosayo, Namaste, Lei ho, Greetings At Flanshaw Road School we wish to work in partnership with our community in nurturing and developing the children in our care. Our school’s mission is to provide students with the opportunity to achieve their potential by encouraging them to develop socially, academically, physically and culturally, the skills and attributes to be successful, life-long learners. As the seventh principal of Flanshaw Road School, it is my privilege to be the ‘lead learner’ of this vibrant, diverse, innovative learning community. Having lived in West Auckland all my life, I am committed to supporting teachers and staff to provide the best learning opportunities for students, in a school that aspires to “educational excellence”. My vision for students at Flanshaw Road School is that every child leaving our school will be well-rounded, skilled, confident and resilient, equipped to cope with the challenges they will face in the future. 21st Century learning is different from the education we experienced as children. 21st Century learning is about schools putting students at the heart of all we do. It is about teachers and students learning with and from each other. It is about respectful relationships, about recognizing talents and needs and having high aspirations for all students. It is about developing students’ knowledge of themselves as learners. It is also about creating opportunities for parents to have an authentic, meaningful role as ‘first teachers’ in the school years. As a teacher, a parent, a student and a leader I am committed to working in an inclusive learning community. At every level, I believe students, staff, parents and the Board of Trustees should aim high, work hard and aspire to be all they can be. Our students are the ‘Leaders of Tomorrow’. It is a pleasure to be part of their learning journey in these, the foundation years.
