Alfriston College

Welcome to Alfriston College, a leading institution located in Manukau, New Zealand. As an establishment of great interest and a renowned university, we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all our learners and their families.

At Alfriston College, we believe in the strong connection between whanau (family) and learning. Our Year 9 and 10 learners primarily learn in whanau-based groupings, where they are supported by learning leaders from the same whanau. This approach fosters a sense of belonging and encourages collaboration and support among our students.

We take pride in celebrating the achievements of our learners in various dimensions, including academic, community, culture, and sport. Each term, whanau come together for celebration assemblies, where we acknowledge and honor the accomplishments of our students in these areas.

To facilitate effective and uninterrupted learning, Alfriston College operates on 90-minute learning periods. This allows for in-depth exploration of subjects and promotes focused engagement. Most learners have Whanau-based Learning Advisory, along with three classes per day.

Our institution is organized into five Whānau, each providing a conducive environment for learning, growth, social interaction, and leadership opportunities. Each Whānau maintains its unique culture through colors, mottos, flags, and traditions. This diversity enriches the overall experience of our students and promotes a sense of identity and belonging.

For the convenience of our learners and their families, school starts at 9.30am and finishes at 3.30pm. Additionally, our cashier's office operates on specific timings throughout the week, ensuring easy access to financial services.

At Alfriston College, we are committed to providing a holistic education that empowers our learners to thrive academically, socially, and culturally. Join us in this journey of growth and discovery as we strive to create a nurturing and inclusive learning community.
