About Us

Royce McMurtrie
Changing the world
Welcome to the Paeroa Christian School community.
I’ve been in my role as Principal for roughly the last four years and I and the entire staff team count it as a huge honour to steward and care for what the Lord has so graciously blessed us with here. We are a fun-loving community, with Jesus at the centre of all we do.
At school, two aspirations we place high value in are growing generations God’s way, and helping our children find what we call their BVOY - or "...best version of yourself...". As we know, that is only found as our children walk in relationship with Jesus - discovering who He is and who He has called them to be.
True hope is found only in Him, and there is no greater joy for us as a leadership team here at school than helping to point our children to Jesus and seeing them begin to discover and walk in their God-given identity.
While our aspiration of assisting our parents to grow the next generations God’s way and setting a Godly foundation in their children’s lives is one that may begin at school, it is one that carries them through into eternity. We hope you enjoy having a look around our site, and please, feel free to contact us here at school if you have any further questions - we look forward to hearing from you.
God Bless.
