The role of the School Board is to ensure that all students achieve their highest possible educational outcomes. In our school, a state-integrated school, the Board (which includes Proprietor's Appointees) must also safeguard and maintain the Special Catholic Character of the school.
The Board's role is one of strategic oversight, leadership, direction, and policy setting.

All children and staff at our school belong to one of our School Whānau Groups. Each Whānau Group includes children from throughout the whole school, from New Entrants to Year 8. During the year, the Whānau leaders organise activities so that children get to know others throughout the school. Each School Whānau Group is named after a Dominican saint, and each is connected with a maunga (mountain) in our region.
