Philosophy of Mackenzie High School

As a School

We seek diligently after truth and integrity, knowledge and its positive application

We seek to be strong against impurity of thought, word and deed.

In the passion of our daily pursuits we aim to pause to observe the beauty of nature

We strive not to neglect the needs of those with whom we work

And above all, with the help of our teachers we aim to re-affirm that prayers and dependence on the Sovereign God are extremely important.

School Creed

I believe that my school is the best place for me to grow in fellowship with God and man. To develop my academic, physical and cultural abilities, and to inculcate the right attitudes for the development of an upright character to the benefit of myself, my family, my community, my nation and the whole of mankind.
