School Farm and Horticulture Unit

The School Farm is a key element in the uniqueness of Mount Albert Grammar School. It is owned by the ASB bank who generously allow the School to use of the land for educational purposes.

A farm tour provides a unique opportunity to view the only full-working farm and its animals in Central Auckland.

Students who have been involved in the Mount Albert Grammar School agriculture programme are well equipped to work in the rural sector or enrol for more agricultural training.

Hundreds of students have passed through the Mount Albert Grammar Agriculture Course since the farm opened in 1933.

The agriculture programme is structured especially to meet the modern needs of the agriculture industry and market.

A section of the farm is primarily for horticultural science educational use, along with laboratory space in the biological sciences department.

Horticulture has been offered as a subject at the school for several decades, and has a strong applied science emphasis.
