Nau Mai Haere Mai, Welcome

For Love of God, Life and Learning
Mo te aroha ki te Atua, kia Oranga, kia Akona!

Tena Koutou Katoa

I have just arrived at Cullinane College to take up the Principal-ship of this College. During my initial time at the school I want to take the opportunity to get to know the students, staff and the wider school community. The College’s mission “For love of God, Life and Learning”, will be held firmly in my thoughts as I attempt to contribute to the excellent work that has been carried out to date.

My initial interactions in the school have highlighted for me how much the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church and the gospel values are apparent in the life of the College. Indeed the students openly recognise the College as a family where they feel affirmed, recognised and valued. The school challenges all of its students to accept the differences in each other, to care for those in its community and to celebrate each others successes and achievements.

The expectation of our students is that each and everyone of them will pursue life with vigour, optimism and a “can do” attitude so that they can become the best person they can be in the eyes of God.

The College is a true family in God and I am proud to be part of this community.
