What Sacred Heart College, Auckland does

Sacred Heart College, Auckland is a Catholic, Marist and Champagnat boys' secondary school located on a 22-hectare campus at 250 West Tamaki Road, Glendowie, Auckland. Founded on 21 June 1903 as the first Marist-owned school in New Zealand and relocated to its current site in 1955, the school delivers the New Zealand Curriculum and NCEA pathway to approximately Years 7-13 students, including a bespoke Sacred Heart Certificate at Year 11. It operates an on-site boarding hostel accommodating up to 130 students across three houses (Fr Champagnat, Br Clement, Br Leonard) and admits international students from Asia, Europe and the Pacific via a dedicated International Student Programme with multilingual prospectus material and an agent network.

The school's product surface extends beyond core academics to a Music Institute and itinerant music lessons (with pricing of $350/year for instrumental programmes and $45/30-minute private piano lessons), a Sports Institute covering Cricket, Football, Rowing, Rugby, Basketball and Water Polo, an International Rugby Programme, Education Outside the Classroom camps and overseas trips, and pastoral services including guidance counselling, learning support and career education. Technology underpinning delivery is a BYOD programme built on Google Workspace for Education with SchoolBridge as the parent portal.

Revenue is generated through tuition/attendance dues, separate boarding fees (reviewed annually; international students typically pay one year in advance), uniform shop sales, music programme fees, and a multi-vehicle donations and fundraising apparatus (Capital Projects Fund, Endowment Fund, Scholarships Fund, Heart of Sacred Heart Fund, pledges, bequests, corporate sponsorship). The school is owned and operated by the Marist Brothers, governed by a Board of Trustees, and holds no venture or private equity ownership, operating as a not-for-profit Catholic educational institution.
