I am a year 13 this year and from my experience from all my years in Roncalli College all the teachers are lovely here and they help so much! For example I take all of the three sciences and calc and all of them care so much about your education. They really do try their best to set you up for university!
Our principal, Mr Cameau, really welcomes you to the school. This school may be Catholic, but you really don't have to be that religious to come to Roncalli, and none of its catholic values and such are not forced upon you, and our school is very friendly to all communities!
Best school in Timaru out of the others, and I wouldn't change it if it were the death of me :)
I love Roncalli, the staff there are so caring and lovely, the teachers actually strive to get their students ready for exams, and will go out of their way for the couple of students that are struggling or behind. The office ladies are so welcoming and it’s always nice to go in and seeing their smiles. Every teacher teaches differently but try’s hard to make the subject you are doing fun.
