Our Lady of Victories School, on Main South Road, is a Catholic primary school giving Sockburn families a faith-based first step in a complete local schooling pathway leading through to St Thomas of Canterbury College.
The school sits alongside Our Lady of Victories Church, reflecting its own close ties to the local Catholic parish community, and gives families a values-based primary education woven through the standard New Zealand curriculum. Being positioned near St Thomas of Canterbury College, the school gives Catholic families in Sockburn a straightforward, complete pathway from primary through to secondary schooling without needing to look outside the suburb for a faith-based option.
The school’s own position on Main South Road places it close to other significant local landmarks, including Sockburn Park and the Upper Riccarton Library, giving families a sense of the wider community infrastructure surrounding the school itself.
The school office is open Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 3:30pm. Families interested in enrolling are encouraged to contact the school directly to discuss current zoning, parish connection requirements and enrolment availability, since Catholic state-integrated schools often have specific enrolment processes distinct from a standard state school.

Families already connected to the local Catholic parish through Our Lady of Victories Church may find enrolment at the school a natural extension of their existing community ties.
Given the school’s own smaller, community-focused character, families with a child moving from early childhood into formal schooling may find the closer relationships between staff and families reassuring compared with a much larger primary school.
Families new to the area, whether or not already connected to the parish, are encouraged to contact the school directly to discuss what enrolment involves for a family outside the immediate parish community.
The school’s central Main South Road position makes it easy to reach from most of Sockburn’s own residential streets.
