Principal's Welcome

I warmly welcome you to St Gerard's school in Alexandra, Central Otago.


St Gerard's is a state integrated school for girls and boys up to Year 8 offering an education with special Catholic Character. The special Catholic Character of our school follows the education philosophy of Catherine McAuley as gifted to us by the Sisters of Mercy.
As a school community we are committed to educating our students through our vision of Love (aroha ai), Learn (ako ai) and Grow (tipu ai).
Our greatest asset is our people - He waka eke noa - a canoe which we are all in together - no exception.

Julie Flannery
​Principal

Zone Triathlon – Thursday 6th November, Cromwell
15 Oct 2025

This information is for year 5 and up.

The Zone Triathlon is coming up on Thursday 6th November in Cromwell. As we will be holding our own school triathlon at the end of the term, we are now asking for children who would like to compete in the Zone event to put their names forward.

Students will have the next few weeks to train and prepare. This year, we will be entering children in the individual event only. The reason for this is that we already have separate swimming and athletics zone events, and we believe the triathlon is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the combination of all three disciplines when individuals complete them together.
