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.

Julie Flannery
Principal

A reminder that our end-of-term assembly will be held tomorrow (Friday) at 1.40 pm in the school hall. Everyone is warmly invited to attend.

Swimming Sports trophies will be presented during the assembly. Tomorrow is Jumping July, and children can wear mufti, clothes suitable for jumping and bring a gold coin donation for The Heart Foundation.

Today we enjoyed our Eisteddfod Assembly, celebrating excellence in poetry and prose reading. Congratulations to all of the students who were selected to perform; you were outstanding, and we are so proud of you.

Tomorrow marks the end of Term 2 after a very busy 11 weeks filled with learning, winter sports, reports, parent-teacher interviews, and many other school events. Thank you to our students, staff, and whānau for another fantastic term.

We wish everyone a safe, happy, and well-deserved holiday. We look forward to seeing everyone back for Term 3 on Monday, 20 July.

Have a wonderful break!
