Nau mai, haere mai – Welcome to St Anthony’s School

We're so glad you've taken the time to explore our kura online. We hope this space gives you a real feel for the vibrant, caring community we’re proud to be part of, and the many opportunities available for your tamarikii to learn, grow, and thrive.

St Anthony’s is a small, co-educational Catholic primary school for students in Years 1–8. What makes our kura special isn’t just our robust and engaging curriculum; it’s the warm, whānau-friendly atmosphere that surrounds everything we do. We’re known for being inclusive, nurturing, and closely connected with our community.

Learning at St Anthony’s is grounded in Te Mātaiaho | The New Zealand Curriculum, and brought to life through the values and teachings of Tā Tātou Whakapono | Our Faith Curriculum. We also offer a rich selection of curricular and extra-curricular experiences, like Te Puna Māori, Drama, Visual Art, Music, and Environmental initiatives, that give every child the chance to discover their passions.

At the heart of our kura is a team of dedicated and talented kaiako (teachers) who genuinely care about each student’s journey. They bring creativity, expertise, and aroha to the classroom, creating meaningful learning experiences that celebrate every child’s uniqueness.

Please feel free to explore the site further, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or to arrange a visit. We’d love to welcome you in person and share what makes St Anthony’s so special.

Ngā manaakitanga | blessings,
