“I really loved my time at Mairehau High. It was a very welcoming school with a close knit community. My teachers felt more like extensions of my family. It is my firm belief that had I attended any other high school I could have got lost in the crowd. I would not have had the one-on-one relationship and mentoring I got at Mairehau. I was really appreciative of the support and encouragement I was given. This allowed me to pursue my love of the Visual Arts and receive a place at Canterbury School of Fine Arts”.
“My education at Mairehau High School ensured that I gained the necessary skills for tertiary study. I am now able to think critically, manage myself where deadlines are concerned, and apply skills in a wide range of settings. I feel completely prepared for my future, and I know that I will be successful”.
