This year is a particularly exciting<br />
year as it will be our last full year at<br />
our Barbadoes Street site as the final<br />
countdown to our new school on<br />
Lydia Street in Papanui begins. We<br />
are especially blessed to have an<br />
incredible support network within the<br />
Marian College school community, the<br />
Catholic Diocese, Armitage Williams and<br />
everyone involved. There will be some<br />
incredible opportunities for our students<br />
to have a hands-on learning experience<br />
through the build and we are excited to<br />
bring the Marian community- both past<br />
and present- on this journey with us.<br />
To our Year 9 students and whānau,<br />
welcome to the family. We look forward<br />
to meeting you soon. We hope your<br />
time at Marian College will be filled with<br />
faith, fun, learning, and inspiration as<br />
we journey through the next five years<br />
together.<br />

Villa Maria College is a state<br />
integrated Catholic secondary<br />
school for girls in Years 7 to 13. The<br />
College was opened by the Sisters<br />
of Mercy in 1918 and has grown to<br />
accommodate 800 students within<br />
its beautiful grounds. The spirit<br />
of Mercy is the very heart of our<br />
College, and there is an emphasis<br />
on service to others and the<br />
community. Girls are educated in<br />
Catholic teachings, and this Catholic<br />
character is evident throughout the<br />
College.<br />
Our Mission is to: “Empower each<br />
young woman to determine her<br />
potential, live Gospel values,<br />
confidently embrace life-long<br />
learning and as a Mercy woman be<br />
inspired to make a difference”.<br />
The education Villa Maria College<br />
offers is of the highest quality,<br />
and we are proud of our excellent<br />
academic results. Our strong<br />
academic programme is combined<br />
with varied co-curricular activities,<br />
encompassing sport, cultural and<br />
musical programmes.<br />
Our pastoral care systems ensure<br />
that all girls are supported<br />
throughout their schooling. Villa<br />
Maria College is an environment that<br />
is compassionate and engaging, and<br />
allows our girls to participate fully in<br />
all aspects of College life.<br />
We invite you to visit the Villa Maria<br />
College website and experience<br />
