LOVE - aroha ai... LEARN - ako ai... GROW - tipu ai

Principal's Welcome

I warmly welcome you to St Gerard's school in Alexandra, Central Otago.

St Gerard's is a state integrated school for girls and boys up to Year 8 offering an education with special Catholic Character. The special Catholic Character of our school follows the education philosophy of Catherine McAuley as gifted to us by the Sisters of Mercy.
As a school community we are committed to educating our students through our vision of Love (aroha ai), Learn (ako ai) and Grow (tipu ai).
Our greatest asset is our people - He waka eke noa - a canoe which we are all in together - no exception.

Thank you and Merry Christmas

22 Dec 2025

As we come to the end of another wonderful year, the staff would like to thank our families for your ongoing support, encouragement, and partnership throughout the year.

Our End-of-Year Celebration Assembly was a beautiful way to finish, filled with joy, talent, and pride. The school band, junior kapa haka, senior kapa haka, and choir were all outstanding — each group showcasing confidence, commitment, and the special spirit of St Gerard’s. What a joy it was to see our tamariki shine!

We are so proud of everything our children have achieved this year, both in and out of the classroom, and grateful for the strong community we share.

We wish you all a holy, peaceful, and joyful Christmas, and a safe and refreshing holiday break. We look forward to welcoming you back in the new year.
