We provide the environment to nurture thinking, caring and hard-working students, who know they can make a difference based on these values.

Our teachers, whanau, parish and community work together to achieve the best for our children. May God bless our endeavours so that our vision, “that we may have life and have it to the full”; (based on John 10:10) may come to fruition.
