About the Business
Welcome to Sancta Maria College, a co-educational institution located in Auckland, New Zealand. With a student population of 1000 ranging from Years 7 to 13, we are dedicated to providing a high-quality education in a nurturing environment.
Established in 2004, our college follows the charism of Mary, Mother of God. Through Mary, we strive to spread the joy of the Gospel to the world. Our name, Sancta Maria, is inspired by the schooner that Bishop Pompallier used to travel around New Zealand, setting up Catholic Mission Stations in significant places such as Hokianga, Kororāreka, Waitematā, and Akaroa. These locations serve as the names for our four college houses.
At Sancta Maria College, we pride ourselves on our outstanding educational standards rooted in our Special Catholic Character. Our students excel in academics, sports, service, and leadership.

We offer a comprehensive curriculum that promotes inclusivity, respect, safety, and positivity. Our goal is to provide every student with the opportunity to learn and succeed in an environment that focuses on their academic achievements, leadership skills, and overall well-being.
Academic excellence is a cornerstone of Sancta Maria College. Our students consistently outperform national averages in the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). We maintain high standards and expectations while building respectful relationships within our community.

"fun school, sending this review in F1 right now"
"Good education environment overall, however, some teachers make it unbearable. The uniform rules alone deserve a whole ted-talk for how absurdly strict they are. Girls specifically get told off for the smallest things; diamonds in your ear? take them out right now. Nose hoop under your mask? Take it out. Your necklace is showing underneath your shirt? take it off. Your hair is slightly tinged an unnatural colour? re-dye it right now. Its insane how these grown adults think that these simple altercations to my appearance will affect my learning. SO MUCH for a school about creativity and faith, how am I, a growing teenager, supposed to express myself if there are restrictions preventing me from doing just that? How am I, a literal child, supposed to find what I want to be and who I am, if I cannot express myself through my appearance? How else should I do that?? Not to name names, but some teachers truly do not deserve to be getting paid the same amount as some of their counterparts. Tell me how a grown 50 year old woman, throwing a tantrum like a child, yelling at her students and telling us she doesn't like us, deserves to get paid the same amount as her nicer, more matured and understanding co-workers? Enlighten me, how does a grown woman who tells her students to not give her attitude, or be a "smarty pants" for simply trying to correct her or prove something she said was wrong, deserves to get paid the same amount? Tell me, how having a conversation with this SAME GROWN WOMAN is the equivalent to talking back? It's insane how students a fraction of these teachers' ages have more dignity and maturity than them. This same grown woman, refuses to let her male students go to the bathroom less than 5 seconds after letting her female students go. This grown woman, gets off consequence free even after having multiple complaints about her thrown towards deans, school-counsellors, higher powers, etc."
"Great school with nice learning environment. Good communication from school and let us know what’s happening and how the kids are performing. Reasonable amount of homework and tests to keep studying on track."
"It took one death for the school to start reaching out to students, one death is already too many. This school is a joke. Not only are a concert of students horrible but some teachers too. Literally the most horrible experience to go to school, every morning I wake up dreading going to this place. The education system isn't bad, you sure will learn but I cant guarantee you'll even enjoy learning at that point. Stress is a daily thing, some people say it's easy and even shame people who struggle, you people are really the cherry on top of this garbage truck of a school. Hope you teachers actually make an effort to support students instead of turning a blind eye to obvious signs that they aren't well, even if there aren't obvious signs there should at least be regular check ups on students."
