Apologies to all whānau & caregivers for any inconvenience.

Awesome vibes today at our ACES campus. Well done to all the students & staff who made such a huge effort in showing up for the annual anti-bullying campaign 2023

Kia ora everyone...

Today, we had a very special visitor, Minister for Education Jan Tinetti.
After first meeting us (ACES) back in late November 2022 at our Alternative Education Conference, Jan was captivated by ACES and our unique approach in engaging & empowering young people in the Alternative Education sector and knew straight away she needed to come to Auckland and see for herself where all the amazing mahi happens.

Today, Jan spent time with our very own ACES students (recently graduated & present) who gave Jan the grand tour & led the conversation, talking candidly about themselves, their struggles, their journey, and their successes in having found a new path, a safe space to learn, discover themselves, and build for their future.

All the ACES Team are super proud of our students today in having the courage & confidence to speak so freely & straight from the heart ❤️

A big thank you to our Minister for Education Jan Tinetti, we are humbled & appreciative you taking the time to visit us, and will hold onto your poignant words, as you take our unique story back to Wellington.

Ka nui te mihi.

As a result, the Ministry of Education has ordered a week long shutdown until 7th February. We have decided, with safety being put first, to close both our ACES campuses. All our Open Days scheduled for this week will be pushed forward to next week.

We are hoping you our whanau & students are all safe & well. However, please feel free to reach out to us for any additional support you may need from ACES.

Thank you 🙏 💓

Kia kaha a whanau.

Kia ora everyone!

Students & whanau we are opening very soon and we'd like to let you know about our opening times.

We're all looking forward to meeting our new & returning students next week! 😁

Kia ora everyone, please visit our website to see our student timetables for our very exciting last term of the year, Term 4. The link below will give you access to both the Maungawhau & Maungarei Campus timetable.

The first week of every term is our ‘Whakawhanaungatanga Week’ where students engage in fun recreational activities to help them settle back into our school environment. Please note that just for this week, we always finish at the earlier time of 12.30pm so our Tutors can meet with students and parents between 01.00pm and 04.00pm to hand over the Term 3 School Report and to also discuss the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP). Otherwise our normal finish time of 02.30pm will resume again in Week 2.

Thank you! 😀
