Welcome to
St Mary’s Catholic School Tauranga
St Mary’s Catholic School was founded in 1942 by the Cluny Sisters, who continue to have a valued presence in our school today. We are an integrated Catholic primary school catering for children from new entrants to Year 6, serving the educational and faith development needs of families within the wider Tauranga Moana community.
The Special Catholic Character of our school is expressed through our students, teachers, and wider school community as we live and teach the Gospel values.
Our committed and dedicated staff set high expectations for all children, and we aim to work in partnership with families to support each child’s learning and faith journey.
We extend a very warm welcome to all who join our school community.
