• Lives and models the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ, and authentically integrates our Catholic faith into daily school life.
• Embraces diversity, is inclusive, and is committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the bicultural and multicultural nature of Aotearoa New Zealand.
• Demonstrates strong curriculum knowledge, effective pedagogy, and confident classroom practice.

We offer a supportive, faith-filled, and compassionate team environment where we work hard and laugh often. If you're a teacher who is energised by high standards, a collaborative culture, and making a real difference in the lives of tamariki, we’d love to hear from you.
