Service
We Excel
Always striving
for personal best
and utilising our
God given gifts
and talents to the
best of our ability.
Excellence
Excellence is one of MGS’s
foundational mottos. We craft an
ethos of excellence where pupils
want to give of their absolute best
for the glory of God.
Academic
Middleton Grange School has a
reputation for academic excellence.
We teach the New Zealand
Curriculum presented within a
Christian world view. Our staff are
highly skilled professionals who help
our pupils to achieve consistently
impressive National Standards and
NCEA results.
My Utmost for His highest
Our pupils are offered a diverse range
of courses that include the core
subjects along with a wide variety
of option classes to accommodate
pupils’ strengths and interests. A key
to our academic success is our staff
who further enhance learning with
numerous lunchtime and after
school tutorials.
We believe that building a strong
partnership between school and
home is critical to our academic
programmes. To ensure every
child has learning success we
have developed early intervention
strategies that identify pupils at
risk and provide practical
supports for them.
Our Gifted and Talented programme
is co-ordinated by a dedicated
teacher who works with staff to
identify pupils with specific gifts.
Appropriate academic programmes
or outside courses are explored with
the aim of encouraging and nurturing
their God given talents.
Sports
With approximately 100 sporting
teams across 27 sporting codes, the
opportunity is assured for all pupils
to explore their personal interests
and pursue their potential. Each
year, our young sports people enjoy
considerable success in regional and
national competitions.
Middleton Grange is well known
for achieving outstanding results
in Basketball, Football, Canoe Polo
and Volleyball. Our Outdoor Pursuits
programmes are nationally recognised
for their quality and competitiveness.
High performing pupils are
encouraged to strive to be the
best they can be and this is
highlighted by the 28 Canterbury,
and four New Zealand representatives
that we had in the Senior College
this year.
