Whether you are moving to Richmond or already a Nelsonian and looking to move from your current location you may well want to find out what schools you have to choose from.
We are very fortunate here in Tasman and Nelson that our quality of schools are very good and it is near impossible to make a bad choice.
Here is a list of schools in Richmond to help you with your decision making.
Richmond Schools
Richmond is located in Tasman District Council but if you are traveling and people ask where you are from, most people answer with “Nelson”. This can be a little confusing sometimes so I have written an article about that here.
This is a full list of schools in Richmond, Nelson (or Richmond, Tasman!).
A list of schools in Nelson can be found here: List of Schools in Nelson

Secondary School

“Garin College was established with a vision of helping the Catholic young people of the top-of-the-south become the adults they were created to be. The school quickly also attracted many others who were not Catholic but who were attracted by the holistic vision of each person stretching to reach their potential in a wide range of areas.
Everything about Garin College is new – and that means we can deliberately choose everything we do and everything we stand for. Nothing is taken for granted.”
