Mellons Bay School

Contributing Primary School in Mellons Bay, East Auckland | Roll 500

Mellons Bay School is a vibrant, high-performing school for students in Years 0-6 situated in a beautiful setting behind Howick Village, in East Auckland. Our highly respected principal is leaving us after eight years of outstanding leadership.

The school’s values drive and direct learning as students endeavour to navigate their changing world in the 21st century and beyond. The school has a caring and friendly environment. Students are proud of who they are. It is a place where the student is front and centre and where all decisions made are based on what is best for each individual child. The school is strong on its three core values - Respect, Responsibility and Resilience that motivate and drive student decision making. These underpin learning and life at Mellons Bay School.

The Board is searching for a special person to embrace our community and to lead the school into the future. We would like our new principal to retain our school’s identity as a caring, calm, values-driven, learning focused school. Our students leave our school, proud of who they are and what they have achieved.
