St Joseph's Maori Girls' College Trust Board

Vision - Continuing to position St Joseph’s Māori Girls’ College as an eminent School offering the best in a holistic education for young Māori women. Mission - “Every girl preparing for quality of life enhanced by a Māori and Catholic Boarding School Environment.”

St Joseph’s Māori Girls’ College is the only secondary school in the world which caters for young Māori and Catholic women and which also has an attached boarding facility. It was founded in 1867 by an order of French Sisters, the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions and integrated into the state system in 1982. Māori and Catholic spiritual and cultural values underpin the emphasis on a holistic education in a 24 hour learning and living environment where Te Reo Māori, English and Religious Education are compulsory at every year level. Our Special Character is our point of difference. MAORITANGA – KATORIKATANGA.
