Principal’s Welcome

At the heart of Sacred Heart Girls’ College is a vibrant and growing community — one that doesn’t end at the school gate.

  • Principal’s Welcome

Poipoia te kākano kia puāwai 
Nurture the seed and it will blossom

Our Alumnae network is a treasured and thriving connection of women spread across New Zealand and beyond, bound together by a shared experience and a school that shaped who they are.

As Principal, I hold a deep appreciation for every woman who has walked through our doors. You carry with you the spirit of Sacred Heart — a faith-filled community that is not only different from other schools, but truly distinctive. That is something to be celebrated.

Our vision, Ignite the Passion — Inspiring Young Women to Change the World, is not just for our current students. It lives on in each of you. The values instilled here — of faith, aspiration and compassion continue to ripple through your lives, your families and your communities.

We have a long and proud history of providing quality Catholic education, and our Alumnae are the living proof of that legacy. We look forward to nurturing that connection, celebrating your achievements and welcoming you back — whether in person or in spirit.

Me aro ki te haa o Hineahuone.
