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.

Kia ora Oteake families,

We will restart our Town library visits next week. They will now be on Monday mornings between 10.30 and 11am. Miss Passmore will be accompanying the class on these trips.

We have been learning about measurement in Maths and it would be good if there was lots of discussion at home around the use of length units- mm, cm, metres and km’s. Try to bring it into everyday situations. Also if you have a clock on the wall, talk about the time.

Info for the School Cross Country has gone home today.

Kind regards, Anne
