AUSKOLA
AUCKLAND HUNGARIAN SCHOOL
AUskola - Auckland Hungarian School operates within the Auckland Hungarian Club and has always been an integral part of it. The school and club have existed in symbiosis from the very beginning - they are essentially one and the same. As such, AUskola is not a traditional educational institution: despite the name, it's a grassroots, vibrant Hungarian community established in 2020 to nurture and preserve the Hungarian language and culture. Through enriching programs and meaningful learning experiences, we honour the values brought from Hungary while embracing and building upon the heritage created by New Zealand's Hungarian community. School sessions double as club days for children, where the next generation comes together to build community. None of this would be possible without the dedicated work of our volunteers and the collective effort of our parents.
​
AUskola offers vibrant learning communities tailored to different developmental stages:
-
Foundation Level: ages 5-7
-
Intermediate Level: ages 8-10
-
Advanced Level: ages 11-18
-
Hungarian as a Foreign Language (children's program): mixed age
​
IIn addition to our school programs, we operate a playgroup for children aged 0-4, known as Kiwimanók Gyermekkör. This playgroup provides a nurturing environment where young children can engage in play and learn through traditional folk songs and games, while parents can meet and connect with one another.
​​​
Whether you’re looking to deepen your child’s connection to their Hungarian roots or introduce them to a new language and culture, AUskola offers an inviting space for exploration, growth, and friendship. Together, we’re building bridges between past traditions and future generations, ensuring that the beauty of Hungarian culture continues to flourish in New Zealand. Come and be part of our journey - join AUskola today!
