Chanel College
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Lance Asplin.
Debi Marshall-Lobb Chanel College offers a seamless education from Year 7-13 and a unique sense of whānau and community. Our Year 7 and 8 students have ‘the best of both worlds’ with the security of their form rooms, smaller classes and secondary school advantages, such as specialist teachers in Music, Māori, Art, Physical Education, Science and Technology in purpose-built classrooms and a huge modern gymnasium. We are proud to belong to a Wairarapa Catholic secondary education tradition that stretches back over 120 years. Our values are anchored in the charisms of our founding Religious Orders, the Brigidine Sisters and the Marist Brothers. We challenge and support our students to develop critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills, creativity, cultural competencies, personal academic and sporting excellence, and resilience.

In emails to the Principal, parents wrote: ‘Wow, Chanel College! What an amazing school and staff you have ... I was expecting a grumpy teenager who was going to blame me for making him go on camp. Instead, I have an enthusiastic, passionate and bubbly teenager.’ ‘Students had such wonderful experiences with their mates. We saw excitement, joy, satisfaction and pride. As a parent, I can’t express my gratitude enough to you and your amazing team.’ Sporting and Cultural Opportunities Junior and Senior Tough Guy and Girl Challenge in Palmerston North and Wellington, Dash and Splash Cross-Country event, Wairarapa intercollegiate and regional sporting events such as athletics, crosscountry, swimming and intercollegiate team sports such as basketball, football, netball, hockey, badminton, and Ki-O-Rahi.
