Our Vision:
Garin College is a Catholic school where students reach their potential in a wide range of areas. Academic opportunity and achievement are central to our students’ balanced development. Our graduates are young Catholic and Christian men and women of faith, hope and integrity – people who have strong clear values, and a sense of their responsibility to make a difference. We make a particular effort to support marginalised students and those at risk of not succeeding: with a special awareness of Maori, Pasifika and special needs students.
(Garin Board description 2012)
Our Mission:
We are … a true Christian community in which all members are accepted and encouraged to commit themselves in growing towards the fullness of their creation.
(Charter 2012)
