Meet The People Helping To Take Good Boys And Grow Them Into Great Young Men

Our School’s vision, “To Take Good Boys and Grow them into Great Young Men” means to be strong in Tikanga Māori; To be a beacon in our society for the promotion of the Catholic and Māori values; To encourage and nurture a climate of achievement and success now and in the future.
