Merchandise

To commemorate this landmark occasion in our school's history, we are excited to offer our school community the opportunity to purchase a special range of limited-edition merchandise. Below you will find details and order form links for our anniversary t-shirts, badges, and commemorative wine selection.

1. 150th Commemorative T-Shirt

Wear a piece of our history with this special edition anniversary t-shirt!

Designed by Matua Tim Lucas especially for this occasion, the t-shirt features our 150th crest, honouring our shared history and the generations who have shaped it. We acknowledge our Kāi Tahu whānau, mana whenua of this place, whose presence and contribution are woven into this whakapapa. The design draws on the Poutama, the stepped pattern representing learning, growth, and striving ever upwards.

For our Catholic community, it also reflects a stairway toward heaven, marking a journey of faith, the dignity of every person, and the pursuit of wisdom and virtue.
