Welcome, kia ora, talofa lava
Our students come from neighbouring Pt Chevalier suburbs including Waterview, Avondale, Te Atatu and New Lynn. We aim to provide our students with a wide range of learning opportunities in core curriculum areas and various extracurricular activities. Our school prides itself on its Special Catholic Character which is protected and enhanced by all community members involved with the school.

Meet our principal
Kia ora koutou. Nau mai, haere mai. Mā te Atua koutou e manaaki.
I am very proud to be the Principal of St Francis Catholic School, Pt Chevalier. What matters most to me is the wellbeing and nurturing of the students entrusted in my care.
I am fortunate to lead a group of professional, passionate teachers who work hard to provide a high standard of teaching and learning for our students. I am also very grateful to lead a school with such a tight-knit and active community of parents, whānau and parish members.
I welcome feedback from teachers, parents and students, and strive to maintain an environment of respect, transparency and collaboration.
I believe strongly in the concept of servant leadership, modelled to us by Jesus Christ himself. I live by the famous quote from our patron saint, St Francis of Assisi, “For it is in giving that we receive”.

Looking forward
St Francis Catholic School’s Strategic Plan is governed by its strategic goals. Our curriculum will be delivered in conjunction with the School’s Special Character, vision and values.
