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.

Principal
Our Musical is tomorrow. Tickets are still available for the 1pm show. It's looking great. Bring some cash, as the PTA will be selling raffle tickets.

Kia ora e te whānau,
