St Paul's College (Ponsonby)

This school values building genuine connections between students and teachers. There are issues like any other school but the school takes quick action with a focus on ensuring there are restorative actions in place rather than a patch and dispatch mentality. They are pushing the boys to go further academically and I love how teachers take time out of their weekend to watch the boys play sport. Its not an easy job teaching, but I can truly see how passionate many of these teachers are.

My son is thriving in this school. Great leadership, facility, basketball program and family community.

Education is focused to be the most important part of our schooling life. All sports and extracurricular activities are considered as privileges. It is drilled into every student that their main priority is in the classroom. Although tour school is renown for how good we are in the league background I can guarantee that every student that plays for the 1st XIII passed Level 1/2/3 and passed well! As mentioned previously, sport is known to be a privilege, for those who have done well in the class room and have attendance over 95% are given the opportunity to play for school. However, commitment is crucial to be able to play. St Paul’s teaches values everyone needs to get by well in the real world and highly recommend this school for young men to attend and have your sons at this school. “Teaching Tomorrows People, Today”
