Roncalli College

Roncalli College is situated in the beautiful beach town of Timaru, South Canterbury, with a population of around 29000, only 2 hours from Christchurch and 2.5 hours from Mt Cook and Dunedin.

Roncalli College is a small co-education school that allows us to take a caring and supportive approach to our students. Our focus is on the students' needs and ensuring that they have the most enjoyable experience in New Zealand.

Due to our size and wide variety of subjects our students can have more of an individual experience within the school forming close connections through our buddy program, other students, teachers, and the support staff of the college.

Roncalli College is a Special Character school, meaning we strive to make a difference in the world by showing all people, particularly the vulnerable, are loved, safe and cared for. Our social justice initiatives allow us to work outside the school by allowing our students to volunteer and support those within our community.

The whole team at Roncalli can’t wait to welcome you to our school, see you soon!
