One of the great things about our school<br />
is that it is a full primary (Year 1-8). This<br />
means that our students can stay with the<br />
same group of friends and teachers until<br />
high school and get to take on a lot of<br />
areas of responsibility around the school.<br />
This year we had a large group of Year 8<br />
Prefects who have buddied up with new<br />
entrants, visited our local kindergarten,<br />
led assemblies, arranged a staff vs. Year<br />
8’s basketball tournament and worked in<br />
the office at lunchtimes to give our hardworking<br />
office staff a break.<br />
We also have so many talented students<br />
at SNBS! For the second year in a row,<br />
our school has held an SNBS’s Got Talent<br />
Show to showcase this talent. This is<br />
another one of the things that our Prefect<br />
group has helped to organise.<br />
69 of our Year 5-8 students gave up<br />
their morning teas and lunchtimes to<br />
audition for their place in the Semi Finals.<br />
There were Solo and Group categories<br />
of Singing, Dance, Entertainment and<br />
Instrumental. All of this could not have<br />
happened without our dedicated<br />
teachers, who gave up their valuable time<br />
to judge and decide who would make<br />
it through to the finals. Leading into the<br />
final, the competition was fierce. The 8<br />
finalists performed stunningly in front<br />
of the whole school at our Whanau Hui.<br />
It was an intensely difficult decision for<br />
our judges, Tom and Holly from Original<br />
Scripts Theatre School. They decided<br />
that the overall winner was ‘Dance Crew’,<br />
dancing to “It’s the Hard Knock Life”<br />
from the musical Annie, and they won a<br />
$10 subway voucher (a special thanks to<br />
Subway Ferrymead for donating these)<br />
and Miss Gill, our Deputy Principal and<br />
organiser of SNBS’s Got Talent, took<br />
them out for lunch. Every participant<br />
was awarded a certificate at our school<br />
Whanau Hui.<br />

Villa Maria College is a state integrated<br />
Catholic secondary school for girls<br />
in Years 7 – 13. The foundation for<br />
everything we do is our Catholic faith,<br />
which we express through our Mercy<br />
charism.<br />
We aim to offer spiritual formation and<br />
pastoral care in the tradition of Catherine<br />
McAuley, and the Sisters of Mercy who<br />
founded the College in 1918.<br />
Our Mission is to: “Empower each young<br />
woman to determine her potential, live<br />
Gospel values, confidently embrace lifelong<br />
learning and as a Mercy woman be<br />
inspired to make a difference”.<br />
We have a proud academic history,<br />
annually achieving academic results<br />
which are among the best in the country.<br />
Students set high goals and the College<br />
supports them in striving for excellence.<br />
