Welcome to St. Ignatius Catholic School

St Ignatius Catholic School, situated in the tranquil seaside suburb of St Heliers Bay, an established residential area close to Auckland's CBD, is a Decile 10 co-ed Integrated Primary School.  

Catholic education based on gospel values of Jesus Christ, is provided for New Entrant to Year 6 children who live within our zone which is based on the traditional parish zones of St Ignatius, St Heliers and Mother of Perpetual Help, Glendowie, the faith communities to which most our children belong.  

The original two roomed school, opened in 1927 by the Sisters of St Jospeh, now has an administration block including a library and ten classrooms, in which our community of active, engaged learners are developing the skills, attitudes and knowledge required for the future.  

Our school enjoys the support of parents and caregivers who value "OUR WAY" - our tradtions, holisitic delivery of curriculum, community/family atmosphere and have high expectations for their children's learning outcomes and are actively supportive of and very interested in, the children's learning journeys.
