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.

Thanks to a parent doing research, we have some new St. Gerard's sports socks (hockey) on the way.

They will be $10 a pair and available from Wednesday at the office. We have 17 new pairs coming. Also, we have some second-hand ones.

Thanks heaps

Lost hearing aid

1 May 2026

Aiden has lost his hearing aid - this is very important for his learning and his day to day living. It is also a very expensive piece of technology - thousands of $$$$$. Jess would really appreciate if you could show your children the attached photos of this in case they have seen it somewhere or thought they had found some treasure. It may well have been lost in the leaves. The family have tried leaf blowers and metal detectors with no luck. It is a bit bigger than a $2 coin. It is black with a dark grey cover and has a clear stretchy string that attaches to a small black clip

Green/Yellow St Gerards socks NEEDED

1 May 2026

Morning,

Unfortunately, you can no longer purchase St. Gerard's green and yellow rugby socks or hockey socks.

If you have some and no longer use them, could you please drop them off at the office? Our hockey players need them. We have heaps of keen players.

Thanks heaps

Julie
