Summary

At Garin College you will find a safe environment for personal expression and growth. You can look forward to a holistic education experience that will encourage your personal character development, as well as excellence in academic performance.

Garin College, founded in 2002, is a progressive Catholic integrated co-educational school serving the Catholic community, especially in Nelson, Tasman and the Top of the South Island.

As a truly twenty-first century school, our day students and boarding students enjoy their learning in an open and contemporary environment. Garin College students can expect to reach their potential in a wide range of areas. Our graduates are young men and women of faith, hope and integrity – people who have strong clear values, and a sense of their responsibility to each other and their community.
