About Viscount School

Viscount School opened in 1969, and was named after the main passenger aircraft operating at Maangere Airport at the time – the ‘Vickers Viscount’. 

We are a full Primary School Y1-Y8.  Our teaching/learning programmes reflect our rich culture and diverse community, as well as the aspirations of our parents/aiga/whaanau, for student success.

Through collective efforts, we aim to provide students with the  best teachers, best resources and the best learning environment to ensure they achieve the best results.

Many of our former students have excelled academically, socially, culturally and in sports, both locally and nationally.  We have high aspirations for all students to be successful, confident, lifelong learners.

Our students have opportunities to experience a wide range of activities to become confident learners.

In addition to a variety of learning opportunities , we provide strong programmes in:

• literacy and mathematics
• music and art
• cultural groups
• multi-lingual language learning
• Health, PE and sports
• Y7/8 electives, including Technology lessons at Māngere College

Celebrating diversity

We welcome and value the rich diversity of language, culture and identity of our community. We work in partnership with our parents/aiga/whaanau to help develop meaningful connections, and learning programmes with our students, so they experience success and take pride in their identity.

Te Ao Maaori and Te Reo Maaori is a vital part of our School whanaungatanga kaupapa.

We believe all our students can soar to new heights of success!
