St Mark’s is the only Anglican State-Integrated Primary School in the South Island. As a school of Special Character we focus on growing the unique gifts, talents and abilities of every student within a Christian family atmosphere. This holistic view ensures the students spiritual, academic, physical, emotional and cultural needs and potential are the heart of all we do, the way we think and the way we live. Students who can collaborate, act adaptively, are actively involved in their own learning, and solve problems using a range of thinking skills are hallmarks of the child at the centre of teaching and learning. These are also the skills that will propel students into their future and our ever changing world. Positive relationships between students, staff and whanau is a strength at St Mark’s. Knowing every student, their strengths and abilities creates a scaffold for inquiry, curiosity, collaboration and fun! Come and visit us! Take a look at our new and innovative campus.
