St Mark’s is an integrated Catholic Primary school which was opened in February 1979 with a maximum roll of 225 students.  Today the maximum roll is 390 for Year 1 to 6 students.

Therefore over the ensuring years this school has grown and developed and we are proud of the high standard of education and past and present achievements.  2004 was the 25th anniversary since the opening of the school.

Annually a Mission Day is held by the students to raise monies to assist the Missions and those in need.

An historical factor, which remains today, is the House System.  There are four houses:

* Maungarei (Yellow) Mt Wellington
* Rangitoto (Red) Rangitoto Island
* Pakuranga (Green) Pigeon Mountain
* Wai Mokoia (Blue) Tamaki River

The three volcanic structures can be seen from the playground and the fourth forms part of the boundary of Pakuranga.

This idea was established by the first Mission Sister Principal, Sister Barbara (Mary) Maitland and has since continued.
