About Sisters United Academy

Sisters United Academy is an all-girls Pasifika secondary school located at Alexandra Park, Level 2, 239 Green Lane West, Greenlane, Auckland. It is a new school, currently enrolling its first cohort of Year 9 students for February 2027.

The school is state-funded and fees-free, with additional costs applying for items such as excursions, bus transport, and uniforms.
