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.

Julie Flannery
​Principal

Kia ora whānau. We are aware that a number of students who were off school sick yesterday, later represented the school at touch. This has happened on previous occasions also. We have a school expectation that if a child is off school sick then they will not be playing sports, nor representing the school in any way, for that day. If a student is not well enough for school they are not well enough to play sports. It is important that bugs are not spread, that students are resting and recovering, and that we are giving clear and consistent expectations to our students.

Many thanks

Lucky Bookclub will close on Wednesday so please if you would like to order have them in by this day. There are spare brochures in the office. If you are buying Xmas gifts from this please let me know and I will keep them in the office rather than give to the children - Just write GIFT in large letters on the order. Thanks

Ahiahi mārie,

Due to a number of people away today at school, I suspect there will be touch teams short tonight. If you are available to help out another team, above your age group, please offer. It would be greatly appreciated.

Ngā mihi,
