Catholic Education Services

Ngā Ratonga Matauranga Katorika - Catholic Education Services

Welcome

The Catholic Education Services (CES) supports the work of school principals and staff, parents and parish priests in providing quality Catholic education to students from Early Childhood to Year 13 living in the Diocese of Auckland. This webpage provides information on the primary and secondary Catholic schools in our Diocese, and Catholic Education Services. You are invited to use the site as an interactive resource and communication tool between CES and the wider education community.

Our Catholic schools distinguish themselves when our students develop a Christ-centred faith relationship, when pastoral care reflects the sacredness of each individual, when individuals are encouraged to know, love and respect themselves as children of God and when a culture of excellence is fastened in the heart of the Gospel.

With Catholic education at the very heart of the Church’s mission, we strive to continue to work with parents and teachers in forming men and women who will take their place as leaders in the Church and society of Aotearoa-New Zealand.

Vision Statement Catholic Schools Expand

Recognising that Catholic Schools are integral participants in the evangelising mission of the Church, a Catholic School will ensure students receive a quality holistic education that fosters: a genuine encounter with Christ; growth in knowledge of Christ, His teachings and the teachings of the Church; opportunities to become authentic witnesses of their faith.

Graduates from a Catholic school will therefore:

  • Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ
  • Have an understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ
    and His Catholic Church
  • Be witnesses of the faith through an authentic
    integration of faith and life, a commitment to serving
    others recognising the face of Christ in each person
    and being active members of a Catholic parish or
    Eucharistic community
  • Have the values, attitudes, knowledge/qualifications
    and skills that will enable them to move confidently to
    the next stage of their life, and become Missionary
    Disciples in the Catholic Church and in society
What we do Expand
