What is your point of difference ?
Who are the people who work together in your school whānau to ensure that children's learning is prioritised.

There are sections below that speak to specifics in your school. Click on the arrow alongside the heading to expand and enter further information. To add an extra collapse box below go to enter on the right and select 'collapsible group' to add.
It is not possible to add images and text to the drop downs below - only text can be added. If you want to add images e.g. for Facilities you might want to add an image for each facility you would be better to create a new page for Facilities and drop it underneath the 'About Us' page in the menu. That way it will still stay as part of About Us but as a new page rather than a drop down.

Our History
Our History
St Joseph’s school ( formerly St Patrick’s ) was staffed by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions. These Mission Sisters begin with the story of the courage, faith and hope of four young French Sisters who came to New Zealand following the inspiration of Euphraise Barbier. She inspired the RNDM way of life, spirit and the Charism that now belongs to our school.
With the passing of the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act in 1975, the then private 'church' schools had the opportunity to enter the state education system which allowed schools who entered, access to state funding while maintaining their 'Catholic identity.' Each school has their own integration agreement with the government and within this agreement allows for the church to retain ownership of the buildings and its Catholic character while being able to access funding on the same footing as state schools relating to curriculum.
