Hold fast to Truth

We are proud to be a Catholic community of learners, living our motto ‘Kia mau ki te Pono’ (Hold fast to Truth). The special character of the College is the umbrella for all of our activities. We aim to develop young men and women who strive to be “the best that they can be” in academic, sporting and cultural pursuits.
