Our local story
Māngere sits in the heart of South Auckland, surrounded by strong Māori and Pasifika communities. Our campus is close to Le Fale Samoa and only a short distance from the historic whenua of Ihumātao.
This is a place shaped by people known for their hospitality, creativity, and resilience. It’s a community that welcomes everyone and encourages growth.
The floods of January 2023 caused significant damage to our campus. Since then, we’ve rebuilt with purpose, creating six new classrooms and two new hui spaces. We call this hub Manawa Taki – the heartbeat of Māngere, where many journeys begin.
At Māngere Campus, tauira come first. Our kaimahi are committed to supporting every learner and walking alongside you, so that your study is not only successful but meaningful.
