Rosmini College is a state integrated Catholic secondary school for boys, situated in Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand. The school caters to Years 7–13 (Forms 1–7), and currently has a roll of approximately 1120 students and staff of 75 teachers.[3] The school's motto is Legis Charitas Plenitudo, translated as 'Charity Fulfills the Law', or sometimes translated as 'Love Fulfills the Law'.
Founded in 1962 by its first headmaster, Father Phillip Catcheside, the school was named after Antonio Rosmini, founder of the Institute of Charity.[4] In 1969, several Rosmini College staff, Fathers S Marriott and B Hogan, and Brothers J Tedesco and E Willett left to establish St Peter's College, Gore in the Southland Region. Tom Gerrard was the school's principal from 1976 until 2014,[5] making him New Zealand's longest serving principal.[6] Gerrard died in 2020.[7]
