‘St. Gerard’s School seeks to develop educated, resilient, thinking and caring individuals with the self-confidence to act and make decisions which will enrich their lives and contribute to the lives of others’ - St Gerard’s School Mission, Vision & Values.
St Gerard’s School has as its central mission the development of young women and men of character, substance and generosity of spirit. At St. Gerard’s we are dedicated to fostering our students’ academic excellence, nurturing a sense of confidence and enabling them to use their talents and gifts both to both lead and to serve others in the context of the global community.
Set on a large, beautiful campus with first class facilities, St Gerard’s is perfectly positioned to offer our students the best opportunities to excel in every area of School life, and to support our students as they seek to achieve their individual potential. We have a strong emphasis on caring for the whole person, and our students benefit from this care throughout their time in St Gerard’s. Born of the vision of our founder, John James, we have today a School which combines a unique sense of history and community with the most up-to-date technology and facilities.
From its establishment in 1918, the School’s four principles of scholastic attainment, spiritual awareness, personal growth and service to others have remained at the core of our daily activities. Our values, centred upon the Catholic faith, are expressed through the development of concern for those around us and mutual respect for all.
St Gerard’s is proud to offer a wide and comprehensive curriculum and a variety of learning experiences, formal and informal, in local, national and international settings. As an academic institution we value deeply intellectual and academic pursuits and recognise our duty, in partnership with parents, to assist our students in developing habits which allow them to become life-long learners.
As a school community, we are committed to celebrating achievement, diversity, tolerance, creativity and initiative across an enormous range of curricular and co-curricular pursuits; we believe that every student can achieve success and that each one benefits from a broad, inclusive and modern education.
We hope you enjoy exploring our school via this website. It would be our pleasure to welcome you to St Gerard’s to learn more about our commitment to the education of our students. A visit to our beautiful and scenic campus will reveal a dynamic and purposeful atmosphere where our students and dedicated staff pursue collaborative empowerment through learning.
