Villa Maria College is a state integrated Catholic secondary school for girls in years 7 — 13.  The vision for our students is  “To Act with Courage”

The foundation for everything we do is our Catholic faith, which is expressed through our Mercy charism. Villa Maria College aims to offer spiritual formation and pastoral care in the tradition of Catherine McAuley and Ngā Whaea Atawhai, the Sisters of Mercy who founded the College in 1918. Our Mission Statement reads:

To empower each young woman to determine her potential, live Gospel values, confidently embrace life-long learning and as a Mercy woman, be inspired to make a difference.

Our values are Manaakitanga, Whakaute, Tika.
Our Learning behaviours are Manawaroa, Mahi Tahi, Ata wherawhera, Māia.
