St Peter Chanel - Hato Petera Kaniera is an iconic school based in beautiful sunny Otaki.
It is rich in local history and has been a shining light for many students and their families for many years. The school is set in the beautiful surroundings of St Mary's church and our marae, Te Marae o Hine, at the foot of our sacred hill, Pukekaraka.
The school community and BOT are committed to ensuring our students are educated, cared for and nurtured in a holistic learning environment. Core school values of aroha (love), manaakitanga (hospitality and safe-guarding), rangimārie (peacefulness), whanaungatanga (positive relationships) and whakapono (a place of belonging) form the foundation from which we provide a safe, healthy and happy environment. From this, our students can learn to their full potential, so that they may shine their light on the world.
This is our Patron Saint, Peter Chanel a French Priest in the Society of Mary (Marist).
Peter Chanel was a man of courage, hope and truth.
Full of faith, alive with zeal, he sailed the ocean wide. With the book in hand, bound for New Zealand, Holy Mary at his side.
St Peter Chanel School was opened in 1894.
