Our Lady of the Rosary School is a Catholic Integrated school for girls and boys from Year 0 to Year 8. 

The school, which was founded in 1932, is situated in Wainui Road (off Whites Line East). We belong to the parish of Our Lady of the Rosary, Waiwhetu.

At OLR we place strong emphasis on all the gospel values, in particular respect, integrity and excellence. We aim to assist each child to grow, to achieve and to care.

The school has a rich ethnic diversity, with around 60% of our pupils being New Zealand European and the remaining 40% being Maori, Pasifika, Chinese, Indian, Filipino with several other nationalities also represented.

We are fortunate to be situated in very spacious grounds, with large fields, asphalt areas, netball courts. We have a very modern library and administration building. The main classroom block is due to be remodelled in the next eighteen months.

Strong partnerships between the school and home will make an important difference to a child’s learning so we encourage families to become fully engaged with the school during their child’s time here.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to ring the school office.  If you are considering enrolling your child at OLR, you are warmly invited to make an appointment to meet with the principal, Kathleen Daly, and be shown around the school.
