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,

*The class made the baking of ANZAC biscuits look very easy this morning. They have taken a recipe home and highlighted all the Maths in it. We are working on getting our addition and subtraction Basic Facts nice and fast over the next 2 weeks before we start on multiplication and division. Some extra practice may come home.

*They are doing a super job with their Spelling and Reading H/W. Keep it up.

*If you have any pears at home please bring one to school. We are looking at this beautiful shape in Art this week and generally learning about ‘Still Life’ drawing.

*Town Library tomorrow 10.30am.

Kind regards, Anne
