Our four houses pay homage to our school’s location with each house named after a nearby mountain. Every MAC student is a member of one of our four houses – Barker, Iron, Pisa and Roy – giving them a sense of belonging as they represent their house in sporting and cultural activities. Each of the houses is assigned a colour (which students can wear on certain mufti days) as follows: Barker (green), Iron (red), Pisa (yellow) and Roy (blue). Where we are aware of familial connections, new students are placed in the same house (but not the same whānau) as their siblings and cousins. Students with no previous affiliation are allocated to a house and its whānau to ensure a balanced mix of students within both the house and the whānau.
