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.

Could Orla, Jewel and Summer please prepare to do their Poetry Eisteddfod on Monday? Mr Yeomann and I have to work out what 6 children go through to the School Eisteddfod on Thursday. It will involve his top studetns and these three girls reciting their poem on Monday.
Thank you for all the well prepared children we had reciting on Tuesday. The Year 7s have been chosen and are: Coleman, Amber and Lucy. They also should take time to prepare for Thursday.
Thank you have a good weekend.
