In 2023, we are operating a 3 class model :
Our Core Curriculum is taught in the morning blocks
Careers weeks will now be an annual fixture at our school to be held in the fourth term.
Transition to College
At Year 9, some of our students move through to our local High School, Taumarunui High School, while some students attend boarding institutions in Auckland, Taranaki or Whanganui. As a Catholic School, we promote continuing a Catholic Education through to secondary school and we have regular contact with Francis Douglas Memorial College and Sacred Heart College in New Plymouth, Sacred Heart College in Auckland, St John's College and Sacred Heart College in Hamilton and Hato Paora College in Fielding and Hato Hohepa College in Taradale, Napier.
Sport
Our Sports Coordinator in 2024 is Samantha Vermeulen
Notifications for sporting opportunities are:
1. Discussed with students to gain interest
2. Are outlined in the fortnightly newsletter
3. Are outlined on the school's Facebook page
4. Students who are interested, take home a letter that has full details as to when, where, how, and usually a call for adult support and associated costs
5. Teams can only can be made up when all have paid and we have parent support. Without this the sporting opportunity can not proceed. In short, no pay, no play.
