A Sacred Heart College Education

Sacred Heart College has a long and proud tradition of achievement dating back to 1903. Our mission is to develop outstanding mature young men by providing an education that balances spiritual development with academic, social and physical achievement. Our vision is for each student to be grounded in the Catholic faith and to leave confident and prepared to be active in a changing and complex world.

Students at Sacred Heart experience a learning environment where their talents are celebrated and their needs supported, so that each student can achieve their own personal academic excellence.

To uphold our Catholic, Marist and Champagnat values and in line with our Enrolment Scheme, preference is given to families with an established connection to the Catholic Church, and in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Catholic Bishops of New Zealand in 2003.  We urge you to read and understand our Enrolment Scheme which can be found below.

Please note, our main intake is at Year 7 and Year 9, with limited spaces in all other Year Levels. 

To best prepare for enrolling your son please read the following documents, which detail our educational philosophy, and enrolment preference process:
