We are proudly Catholic and live the values of Jesus Christ, in the Mercy
tradition of our founders, Catherine McAuley. We are a Catholic girl's college,
for Years 7 to 13, situated on the shores of Lake Pupuke, in Milford,
on Auckland's North Shore. The Carmel learning community is committed
to educating and developing young Catholic women who will always
strive for excellence in all their academic, sporting and culturalendeavours.
We actively encourage these young women to participate in a wide range of activities
and there is an expectation of service, especially for the poor and marginalised; that they will
see the need and make the difference and walk the talk of Mercy. We know that when we enrol
your daughter as part of our learning community, she comes to us with all the values and attributes from her family.
We therefore work to establish successful learning partnerships, with all our parents and caregivers and then to ensure that, together,
our students are able to reach their full potential. We invite you to explore our learning community, through our
website, to learn more about who we are and what we are doing. The simplest and most practical lesson I know......,
is to resolve to be good today but better tomorrow. Let us take one day in hand at a time, merely making a resolve for tomorrow.
Thus may we hope to get on, taking short, careful steps, not great strides'. -Catherine McAuley Chris Allen, Principal
