How this directory works
Finding Catholic schools in New Zealand
New Zealand records combine the Ministry of Education’s Catholic-affiliation school directory with NZQA’s current tertiary-provider register and the bishops’ national Catholic education and seminary directories.
Browse by region and town or city, then compare primary and secondary schools, registered Catholic tertiary teaching sites and the country’s two current seminaries. Every higher-education profile identifies the current NZQA, bishops’ or official institution source supporting it.
How do I search near my location?
Use the global finder and choose “Use my current location.” Schools with published coordinates can be sorted by approximate distance; every profile has a Google Maps directions link.
What do the school counts represent?
Counts include active records that passed required-field and source checks in the current release. Administrative offices, online-only programs and incomplete records are excluded.
Should I contact the school before applying?
Yes. Confirm admissions, fees or tuition, grade configuration, transportation, programs and calendars directly with the school.
