Bay’. The school closed in 1924, after training over 1,000 pilots. In 1928 the mission building became a museum, but was found to be unsuitable for the display of artifacts. It was taken over as a heritage property by Heritage New Zealand in 1974 and the former St. Andrews College has since been leased out as a restaurant.

Landmarks and features Bastion Point Bastion Point (Takaparawhau in Māori), located on the northern end of the Mission Bay, had strategic importance for both Māori and Pākehā. Its commanding view over the entrance to the Waitematā Harbour made it a key site for the defence of Māori settlements and later of Auckland City.

Bastion Point is also the location of the Tomb and Memorial Garden for Michael Joseph Savage.
