Te Kura Katorika o Hato Maria i Te Awahou - St Mary’s School, Foxton
is a Catholic Primary School, offering faith formation and education to students from years 0-8. We were founded in 1911 by the Brigidine Sisters. Like these women of faith and kindness, we seek to live out the teachings of Jesus in the rich Catholic tradition while offering innovative and tailored education which meets the needs of children today.
We are all made in God's image.
Our Catholic Vision and Mission is to always live out Catholic Social Teachings in everyday school life.
Catholic Social Teachings include Integrity, Dignity, Equity, Concern for the Poor and Vulnerable, Solidarity and Stewardship.
Alongside these, we strive to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our Gospel Values, which are:
Love, Courage, Community and Service.
