Welcome to St Leo’s Catholic School
We pride ourselves on being a small, family orientated school with small class sizes and experienced and passionate teachers. Our Catholic School is part of a Christ centred community of faith guided by our Mercy values. We aim to educate the whole child – mind, body and spirit – promoting both excellence and integrity in all our students.

 

We are not zoned so all enrolments are welcome.

 


Principal's Welcome

Nau Mai Haere Mai,

My name is Vimi Chandra and I am very proud as principal to lead and serve St Leo’s Catholic School. Our school values of compassion, hospitality, respect, service and social justice are extremely important to us and are the essence of our school curriculum. St Leo’s students stand proud and strong in their faith. They respect themselves, others and creation. Our students are encouraged to be active participants in their school/parish community.

At St Leo’s, we want children to feel happy and secure to develop self confidence in a safe and supportive environment where learning is central to all that we do. Through our rich curriculum we aim to develop the whole child and encourage our students to strive for excellence. To enable this to happen, our very dedicated teachers aim to prepare our students for a future that is ever changing. This learning is underpinned by our Mercy values and encapsulates our mission “to love, to learn, to grow in faith”.

At St Leo’s we embrace the opportunity to teach your child the skills, knowledge and attitudes to become confident, creative and curious learners who are connected to the community and wider world. St Leo’s is a strong and supportive community and it is a place where learning is fun! Please feel free to visit us or contact the school for further information.

Dear Parents


We are looking forward to seeing you all next week and hope you have had a good holiday break.  I had lots of family and friends time which was wonderful.


Monday 2nd Feb - school starts
2 x International students start in St Catherine & St Clare


Friday - Waitangi Day - no school.


Other notes:
Bookings for before & after school care are now open. Please email the office to book.


Sushi lunch orders will start in week 1.  Please pick up an order form from the office.  Orders need to be in by 9am Tuesday for lunch Wednesday


Carmel College enrolments are now open for this year's year 6 students to enrol


If you have not yet paid for your stationery prompt payment would be appreciated as the children will receive their stationery in the first few days.


A reminder that children may arrive at school anytime from 8.30am (unless they are booked in for before school care) and that school finishes at 2.50pm.


We are a nut free school due to having children in our school who have life threatening allergies - this includes peanut butter and nutella as well as nut bars


A reminder that the classes have changed: 
           Year 1/2 are now St Francis
           Year 3/4 are now St Catherine
            Year 5/6 are now St Clare


I think that is it for now.


Kind regards
Renee
