                       fulfils the Law”.

Māori Dimensions and   Rosmini College is committed to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and actively supports and encourage the achievement
Cultural Diversity     of its Maori pupils and fostering Maori culture wherever possible.
                       The multi-cultural aspect of New Zealand society means that there is an increasing variety of different cultural attitudes to
                       learning and education in New Zealand schools. Rosmini College will ensure that all students from whatever backgrounds are
                       given the support they need to fulfil their potential.
                       Rosmini College will celebrate the cultural diversity of the student population and use this as a way to educate the school
                       community about the global society that we live and work in. Cultural days, celebration of languages and talks from cultural
                       leaders are part of this and allow our diverse community to connect in ways that enhance tolerance, respect and open
                       mindedness.

Special Character      Rosmini College is a learning community that requires each student to pursue his fullest potential in spiritual, academic, social,
                       cultural and co-curricular pursuits. The school will equip each student with the desire to keep the Law of Christ. We also follow
                       the maxims of the school’s founder, Antonio Rosmini whose educational philosophy was based on the ideals of giving young
                       people a strong foundation of basic skills and values before instilling in them more complex and lofty aspirations.
                       Rosmini’s Mission Statement is “Rosmini College supports and develops well rounded young men while keeping true to the
                       maxims of Antonio Rosmini”. To accomplish this, Religious Education includes Retreats, Reconciliation and both class and full
                       School Masses, while strong Catholic values and morals underlie the syllabus. The precept, “to love God above all things and
                       one’s neighbour as oneself”, neatly summarises these Catholic values. The emphasis is on practical Christianity – helping the
                       disadvantaged in the immediate community as well as overseas. To this end, our pupils are involved in charitable acts that are
                       Christianity in Action to live out the school motto Charity fulfils the Law.
