★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Apart from year eight, this school is great. But overall the primary is much better than the intermediate. Would highly recommend the primary. But will say that it would be better to spend your intermediate years somewhere else.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went to a market day that was held at your school on sat 6th of oct, what a lovely event, the gentleman who organised it was just wonderful, his whole family was there and what a great reps they all were for the school, we had a lovely time with wonderful baking and such beautiful things to look at and buy.
The only thing was , maybe the school should of given far more support to such a good day,like promoting it but hopefully he will do this again and i will be there without hesitation.
GOOD ON THE PERSON WHO RAN THIS WONDERFUL EVENT

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I could not even think of a reason to give a second star.
Communication from the school is terrible.
The quality teachers get roped into extracurricular activities, which causes reduced quality in the class room, children learn nothing in the last 3 weeks of the year so much focus on final assemblies/prize giving MVTV.
PrizeGiving same kids get the EOY prizes each year (top students and awesome kids miss out), winners seem to be children of board members hmm, but I hear this happens at a lot of schools.
Bullying/stealing results in parents NOT being told to sort their child out. There are no good strategies in place for bullying/stealing.
Playground is not monitored at lunch/play time, boys are allowed to play high tackle and punching games, children not taught to play structured games with proper rules like soccer/touch/cricket, very little gear for kids to play with.
kids that haven't learned great hand eye skills get left out of events, year on year, teams are picked best players first. and those teachers picking the teams are more focused on sports than the 3 R's.
The not so good teachers (of which there are numerous) teach bad language/writing habits, and when it comes to math they send the kids to the computers to play math games, when they cannot be bothered teaching. Ask around before you go here you will easily hear about the teachers that under perform.
OK so I think i could have given an extra star for theater, but in hindsight the focus here is too great, detracting from the real reason they are at school, 3 Rs. Do the sums of 3 R's versus other activities at this school it is 40:60.
A lot of students depart before year 7, which is a clear signal, year 7 and 8 are not being prepared for secondary school at MVS.
My recommendations to the School:
Reduce the focus of the extracurricular activities during the school day, your job is the 3 R's.
Communicate to the parents better.
Start to enforce a small amount of homework each night, create consequences, to drive accountability, on student and teacher.
Pay the good teachers more and don't give pay rises to the bad ones.
Be accountable to the daily curriculum, don't hide behind "ask your child what they are doing".

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bad school , why do you send a unpaid bill to all the parents for the school donation?
Bullies here also never get held accountable, students of the teachers are always put first.
The Maori teacher here is Indian and doesn’t teach the kids the correct Te Reo in the Kapa Haka group.
Parents often get the blame if their child isn’t doing well and refuse to see that it is within their school that needs assessing.
Please stop invoicing the parents that think they must pay the donation, it is a donation and should not be included in the unpaid invoices!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We moved to area specifically to get into marina view school and it was the biggest mistake of my life. The school don’t care about their students at all. So many bullies there aswell. I strongly recommend sending your children elsewhere. I took my child out of this school and never looked back.
