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

Basketball Coaches NEEDED
22 Apr 2026

Here are the updated teams. There may still be some movement across teams once coaches have been sorted. If your child wants to play, it's not too late for them to join a team - let me know ASAP.

Please get in touch if you can help with coaching - we just need someone to manage/coach the teams at games on Fridays. 

Yr7&8 teams do have a BYE in the draw. I'll send this out once teams are confirmed.

Many thanks,
