Principal's Welcome

Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.

Welcome to Sacred Heart College, Napier.

Sacred Heart is proudly Catholic. In the tradition of the founding Order, the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, our College is a Catholic faith community where the curriculum is taught within a framework of Catholic values and teachings. We provide all girls with a wide range of opportunities and encouragement to obtain the highest personal standards of achievement, a love of learning and a self disciplined approach to all they undertake.

Single sex schooling has many advantages for girls and Sacred Heart provides a supportive and friendly environment designed for each student and her needs by a well qualified and enthusiastic staff.

As well as pursuing academic goals, students are able to take part in a wide range of activities outside the classroom. Everyone enjoys the sports, music, drama, service groups, clubs and dances that are part of our school.

We take this very seriously. The years at Sacred Heart College prepare young women for life learning beyond school.

Please contact me if you wish to know more about our school. I am happy to talk to you and answer your questions and look forward to supporting your choice of a quality Catholic education for your daughter.
