SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND

 

Principal's Welcome


“Seek and you shall find” ​


Welcome to St Mark’s School, Pakuranga. St Mark’s is fortunate to be small enough to provide individual care, yet large enough to offer a broad range of opportunities. Our school is committed to “providing the very best possible Catholic education” for students in Years 0-6. 

At St Mark’s, we “follow in the footsteps of Jesus” to create a safe, respectful, nurturing and inclusive learning community that enables all members to grow and thrive in Christ’s light.

At St Mark’s, we offer a successful blend of more traditional methodology whilst mindfully embracing modern teaching and learning pedagogies. Our school’s broad, faith-focused curriculum provides opportunities for the holistic growth and development of children entrusted to our care.

We are especially proud of our school’s genuine family feel; rich diversity; high academic and behavioural standards; awesome kids; caring staff and supportive community. 

Every day is ‘Open Day’ at St Mark’s and you are encouraged to arrange a visit to ‘walk through’ our wonderful school. Please direct all enrolment enquiries to: admin@stmarks.school.nz or telephone 09 576 5296.

We look forward to meeting you soon.

Latest Notices

Important Update: Change of date and time for Start of Year Mass & change of timing for Meet the teacher evening
5 Feb 2026

Kia ora families

Please note the following important updates:

Start of Year Mass: Our Start of Year Mass will be held at 9.00am on Wednesday 11 February, not Thursday 12 February as previously advised. All are very welcome to attend. This change is due to all priests in the Auckland Diocese attending a retreat on Thursday 12 February.


Meet the Teacher – Years 5 & 6: Year 5 and 6 families will initially meet in the Parish Centre at 6.15pm, as Mass will begin at 7.00pm.
We apologise for any inconvenience these changes may cause and thank you for your understanding.
