SCHOOLS+Mackenzie+College

Situated in the South Canterbury town of Fairlie, **Mackenzie College** is a small, rural year 7-13 school of approximately 200 students.

We have one of the finest physical environments in the world, with spectacular mountain views, rivers, lakes and rolling farmland all on our doorstep. Part of a thriving rural community, college life offers students the opportunity to excel in all aspects of education; from the classroom to the sport's field, from culture to technology, all in an environment that encourages students to strive to realise their academic potential, to enjoy learning and to develop into impressive young adults.

Our involvement in EHSAS can be traced back to 2004 when, as members of a new "Raising Achievement For All" (RAFA) cluster, we embarked on a journey of school improvement. Our projects included; teacher PD processes, student feedback and engagement, leadership and readings. As the project concluded and knowing the value of what we had achieved working with our cluster schools, we were delighted to be involved in the successful EHSAS application.
