We are proud of our close-knit, caring staff, enthusiastic learners, strong family support, and a culture that values work-life balance. Our school is in high demand for student places, and we work hard to keep things focused on what really matters for our tamariki. The successful applicant will support and uphold the Catholic Special Character of the school, though being Catholic is not a requirement.
