Our College has its formation in the years before 1968 when the doors first opened.

It was obvious that the growing population in Porirua needed a strong Catholic Secondary school to serve the needs of the community. The Assumptionist Fathers and Brigidine Sisters led the way and were our founding orders.

​

Although Porirua has changed a great deal over the past 50 years, our desire to serve the needs of our community hasn’t. The ever-changing future is full of potential and we are charged with preparing our students for a future that we don’t know the limits of while being sure to instil them with the basic values and strengths of our families/whanau/aiga. This is an exciting time to be in education!

​

We are starting to define ourselves by the characteristics that we know our families have, this was our students have a connection between home and school.

​

We are a college of hope, ambition and hard work.

We are a college of faith, service, and determination.

We are a college of purpose, resilience, and excellence.

We are Viard.
