[b]Rangi-Ruru Girls' School, Christchurch[/b] Before the decision was made to move locations in approximately 1890, Rangi-Ruru was originally called Arawa House, and before that, Hessle House. Both these schools were located on the west side of Papanui Road, just south of Merivale Lane. Arawa House was operated by the Gibson family, and all members of the family shared a role in the maintenance of the school, to ensure its success. It was not until 1890s, the school was relocated to Webb Street, that it was renamed Rangi-Ruru. During the Spring of 1923, the school was moved again to Hewitts Road, where it still remains today. Between 1912 and 1914, the roll of Rangi-Ruru reached 100 students, and has home to 16 boarders. By 1922, the role of Head Prefect of the School was created, and this honour was gifted to Grace Helmore. Special badges were designed to recognize the achievements of these accomplished students. The council of prefects grew, when the system of clans were introduced in 1947. Each student was allocated a clan, and each clan elected leaders: a head, a deputy-head and a captain of games.  In 1946, Rangi-Ruru changed hands, as the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand purchased the school of the Gibson’s for £10,000. Rangi-Ruru was committed to training the students in Christian faith and character. Already in June 1945, there was discussions amongst the prominent members of the Presbyterian Church in Christchurch to acquire Rangi-Ruru. Soon after the exchange of ownership, the Presbyterian Church’s Board of Governors set to work and began construction on the school. By the start of June 1956, a two storied wing was erected, a flat was allocated to the principal downstairs, a fit-for-purpose brick laboratory was built for science classes and the kitchen and classrooms were upgraded and painted. In 1951, Malcom William Wilson became the acting chaplain for Rangi-Ruru. Wilson was the minister of Knox Church in Christchurch, and from 1962-63 he was moderator at the General Assembly.  A couple of interesting facts about Rang-Ruru is surrounding the myth of the school bell. The story goes that the bell was saved from a shipwreck of the coast of Kaikoura. The other rumour is that it belonged to one of the ships that Captain Gibson was the master of. The second is that by 1964, the school library held an impressive 5,000 books, some of this collection being donated by old girls. [i] (Left: Entrance to Rangi-Ruru Girls' School) [/i]

[b] John McGlashan College, Dunedin [/b] On the 12th February 1918, John McGlashan College had enrolled 21 boys – ten of these were boarders, and eleven were day boys. They were aged between seven years and 18 years old. This College was made a possibility due to the two sisters, Miss Margaret and Agnes McGlashan. In April 1917, the McGlashan sisters donated three acres of land and buildings to the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. The land was located in Maori Hill, Dunedin, and was named Balmacewen. It was offered on the premise that the Church would establish a boarding school in their father’s name. John McGlashan, father to the two McGlashan sisters, was passionate about the Presbyterian Church and passionate about education.  He believed that education would promote equality, and wanted every parish to have a school, with a highly-educated and well-paid master. In 1865, John McGlashan was elected to the Otago Board of Education, which enabled him to further promote his belief that children should be given a sound and liberal education. The founding of John McGlashan College was possible through the generosity the McGlashan’s on their donation of Balmacewen, and the number of other donations and loans from various friends. Despite this, with the school enrolment growing year by year, more money was going to be needed to keep up with the demand of furnishings and equipment. On the 31st August 1918, the Foundation Stone way laid for the first dormitory block. This block would accommodate 40-50 boarders, as well as providing additional classrooms, a sports room, a clock room and a dark room. The board received valuable assistance in it’s operations from Arthur Gordon Butchers, who was the first Principal of the College. In the 1980s and 1990s John McGlashan College became state-integrated, meaning that the college owned facilities was funded by the families and students through attendance fees, but the staff wages and running costs were funded by the Government.  [i](Right: John McGlashan)[/i] [i]  [/i]

[b]Queen Margaret College, Wellington[/b] Queen Margaret College was officially opened on the 19th February 1919, with a roll of 53 students, 14 of whom were boarders and 39 as day-girls. With the vacation of the boys’ Scots College from Hosbon Street, Wellington, the Board of Governors felt it was an opportunity not to be wasted. It was considered favourable that a girl’s school should be founded in its place, and if the chance was not taken to move quickly and obtain the grounds on Hobson Street for a girl’s college, a project such like this might be indefinitely postponed. The name Queen Margaret College was adopted. A thorough renovation and refurbishment took place, as it was decided that the College needed to be made attractive to girls as the buildings on Hobson Street were designed for growing boys. It was assessed that the grounds were tastefully laid out and there was a great tennis court already built. Miss N. Jobson was appointed principal. Jobson was born in Victoria, Australia, and education at the Presbyterian Ladies’ College in Melbourne and later attended Melbourne University. At the time of her acceptance of Principal of Queen Margaret College, she was principal of Southland Girls’ High School in Invercargill. In the first prospectus, the original purpose of the College was stated, and it was ‘to provide for girls a sound intellectual and moral education and to build up strong Christian character on a broad religious basis and thus to produce the best type of girlhood and womanhood.’ Queen Margaret College is an independent girls’ school, and woven into its curriculum is a religious programmed, assemblies and services. There is acceptance of different beliefs and spiritual discovery. It was the opinion of the Presbyterian Church that Queen Margaret College was fulfilling expectations of the Board of Governors, and it more than justifies this new educational venture. It was pleasing that not only were these young women being taught all the secular subjects necessary, but were also subjected to a wholesome and stimulating, daily instruction of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

[b]Iona Girls' College, Havelock North [/b] Iona College officially opened on 24th February 1914 by the Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Right Honourable William Massey. The foundation of his college was guided by three main forces. Firstly, the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand’s commitment to education. When Iona College was opened, secondary education was not compulsory in New Zealand. Iona College was seen as a ‘finishing school’ for young women, designed to provide an education that was both domestic and cultural with a strong religious background. Secondly, Mr. Hughes Campbell of Breadalbane who offered his land for the establishment of Iona. When the General Assembly met in Dunedin in November 1911, Mr. Hugh Campbell offered eight acres in Havelock North for the purpose of a girls’ college. This site was originally thought to be the site of the Deaconesses College, but it was decided that the Deaconesses needed to be trained in Dunedin. Thirdly, the founding principal, Miss. Mary Isabel Fraser for her determination and persistence. Fraser outlined the importance of an education designed for young women; it was not the same education for young men. On the 9th November 1911, the Presbyterian General Assembly agreed that the Church should have a school of its own, like many other denominations. The Church swiftly accepted the land offered by Campbell and agreed to the proposal of Miss. Fraser – who offered to work for five years with no salary. The Presbyterian Church wanted to ‘train the mothers of the future,’ and believed that a Presbyterian education would be the best preparation ever devised for the formation of character for the service of God. Iona was established by the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand to provide boarding facilities for girls from rural communities. The special character of this school contributes unique qualities to the learning environment. These qualities include a strong moral code based on Christian standards and values, participation in extra-curricular activities, participation in school life and the community, and participation in Religious Studies. Great care was taken to the devotion of religious instruction for the students. Morning and evening worship were conducted in the house by the principal. Every day, half an hour was allocated out of school time for teachings of the Bible, and Bible classes were held every Sunday afternoon. It should be noted that Iona did accept students of other denominations, and these students were accommodated for. [i](Right: Aerial view of Iona Girls' College)  [/i]

[b]St. Andrew’s Collegiate Girls' School, Dunedin [/b] After completion of her Arts Course at the University of Otago, Margaret Smyth was in search for a teaching position at a secondary school in Dunedin. Smyth had been teaching privately during her studies at the University of Otago, and continued to do so after the completion of her course. When discussing this conundrum with Dr. Rutherford Waddell in 1902, Waddell suggested that she establish her own private school. Before this venture could be engaged with, Smyth became ill and spent time in Australia to recover. In 1903, Smyth who was recovering, began arrangements at the Trades Hall, Moray Place, Dunedin, and on Tuesday 3rd February four pupils began their education. When the attendance roll reached ten students, Smyth requested the help of Kathleen Ulrich. When the school began, Smyth offered ‘Morning Classes for Girls,’ but Smyth decided to refrain from having a Junior Department, until her school had solid foundations. By 1905 the roll blossomed to 33 students, and the Junior Department was introduced. The decision was made to move location, as the Trades Hall was inadequate, and a request was made to access the class-rooms at First Church. The school remained there for thirteen years. In 1909, the name St. Andrew’s Collegiate School’ was adopted. The school roll peaked in 1916 with 102 students, but closed on 12th December 1919 when Smyth became too sick to continue, and there was no one else to fill her position. There were plenty of strong memories made, with trips to the theater and local beaches being among the favourites. Many pupils became successful in their academic careers, and multiple students left Dunedin and New Zealand for unmissable opportunities.

[b]Solway College, Masteron [/b] Marion Beatrice Thompson was propositioned with the idea that she would become the principal of a girls’ boarding school in the Wairarapa in 1915. Initially taken aback by this idea, Thompson’s mind was changed when her husband Laurence Thompson fell ill after a serious heart attack, and there was uncertainty as to where they would obtain income.  After much deliberation, Thompson agreed to this momentous task, and her work began to create a Presbyterian college for young women. Guarantors for the school gathered £2,000 for the project and assigned Thompson the task of renovating a nine-roomed colonial homestead, and 18 acres surrounded by trees, to create ‘Solway.’ Finding the physical labour to create the ideal school was challenging, as many employees would leave unexpectantly. Once the school was built, the Presbyterian Church offered Thompson their moral support, put not financial. The Church was already funding the likes of Iona College, Columba College and Scots College, and was unable to support a fourth College. However, this moral support from the Church was welcomed by Thomspon. Solway opened in 1916, and it was a struggle for Thompson to retain teaching staff. After two years of battles with the guarantors, Solway became incorporated and the guarantors released. The School flourished and by 1918 there was 100 students attending Solway. The idea for this school was to incorporate spiritual teaching into the academic curriculum. Thompson’s husband, Laurence, believed that the ideal education would make for the development of the whole personality – body, mind, and spirit. Something that secular education lacked. The hope was that religious instruction would permeate into the life of the school, enriching the young women’s character, moulding the individual character. A daily routine included morning and evening prayers, and Bible study for half an hour with Thompson in the evening in the Study or Drawing-Room. This religious teaching has a lasting influence on her pupils, created life-long bonds between the students, and propelled the girls into successful futures.

[b]Columba College, Dunedin[/b] Columba College was the second out of eight schools to be established under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church between 1914 and 1919. The voice behind this foundation was Reverend Alexander Whyte. Whyte took it upon himself to travel around Otago and Southland expressing the advantages of a Presbyterian Boarding School, and seeking money to make this venture possible. Whyte was a minister of St. Columba’s Church, Havelock North, and was horrified by what he described as ‘the pagan nature’ of our national system of education. Whyte was determined to put all his energy into solving this grave fault. In Otago there had been attempts for the establishment of a senior boarding school. In 1905, it was stated at by the Knox Church Senate that “…the time has arrived when steps should be taken to establish in Dunedin, under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church, a school for the higher education of girls…”  The resolution was to appoint a strong committee to consider the matter, and to bring a report to the next meeting. On 4th September 1906, Dr. Nisbet reported on the proposal for a high school for girls. His project gained approval. The idea captivated the public, and comments were made in local Otago and Southland newspapers, stating such things as “A rival of the spirit and purpose of the Otago Pioneers of 1848… they agreed, among other things, to set aside one eight of the price of the lands as an endowment for church and church school.” In 1913, Reverend Alexander Whyte, convenor, submitted his report to the committee. It expressed that the Presbytery approved the establishment of a Girls’ College in Dunedin under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church, that the College is to receive day students and boarders, and that the College was to provide a general education within the atmosphere of the Church. All students were welcome, regardless of their denomination, and arrangements would be made to allow the non-Presbyterian students to practice their faith. Miss Ross presented to the Moderator an address on the aims of the College. Ross expresses that the future welfare of New Zealand depends on the quality of its women. It was thought that the girls of today need to realise their own importance and equip themselves whilst young, to acquire suitable skills for whichever workstation they may find themselves in. Primarily, the college will engage with teachings from the scripture, and make them wise unto salvation. Moral education was seen to have its foundation in religion. Training each girl to full and perfect womanhood was the ideal outcome of the College, as personal worth and womanhood is much more than intellect. These students were also educated to accomplish true character and personality. Columba College allowed the young girls develop into strong, educated, charismatic, independent women with a determined character and equipped with perseverance. Many students become incredibly successful, and after their time at the College, continued studies at University in New Zealand and abroad. [i](Left: Exterior view of Columba College)   [/i]

[b]Scots College, Wellington [/b]Scots College opened its doors to 28 boys, of all ages, on 9th February 1916. It was originally located at 43 Hobson Street, Wellington on land that was leased from the William’s residence for three years. Before the school was opened, there was great discussion amongst the Wellington Presbytery in May 1914 over the matter of examining a college in the district. A Committee was formed to engage with this idea. With the eagerness of Mr. S. R. Dickinson and Mr. G. H. Uttely, who were residents of Melbourne, the best course of action was to allow these men to start the College. Dickinson and Uttely were responsible for its finances, whilst the Committee would offer as much support as possible. By the 12th October 1915, the committee had fully accepted the scheme of a Boy’s College, and by the 10th of December that same year, the College had enrolled its first student. In the College prospectus there was a statement from the sponsors of the College, expressing their intentions. The aim of the College was to build a strong Christian character on a broad religious basis, and to train for useful and loyal citizenship service, and to these ends first and foremost the course of study and the subsidiary institutions of the school will be directed. A further document was created, and that was the constitution of the College. It consisted of eleven points, and stated that the College be called Scots College, and it shall belong to the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand with all affairs being administered by a Committee appointed by the Presbytery of Wellington. This committee was to be known as the Board of Governors of Scots College. By 1918, the school roll had blossomed, and there was little space for accommodation and teaching. It was decided with urgency that Scots College would need to move to Miramar. It was then decided by the Governors that upon the vacation of Scots College from Hobson Street, a new Girl’s College would take possession of the buildings. This College is known as Queen Margaret College and opened in 1919. [i](Right: Morning Assembly at Scots College)   [/i]

[b]St. Andrew's College, Christchurch[/b] St. Andrew’s College was found in 1916 through the hard work and dedication of Reverend Alexander T. Thompson. The College officially opened in the Manse of the St. Andrew’s Church in Christchurch on 17th March 1917. As the College enrolments grew, larger buildings were required, and extensive ground was needed. When Mr. Duncan Rutherford of Leslie Hills passed, his Will stipulated a donation of £5000 to the St. Andrew College’s Board of Governors. With this donation, the property of ‘Strowan” was purchased from the trustees of Mr. G. G. Stead. By 1918, the growing school transferred to a location of Papanui Road, which is where it is located today. St. Andrew’s College was one of the first Secondary Schools in the Province of Canterbury, namely, The Presbyterian High School. The High School was taken over by the Government in 1873. The main aims of St. Andrew’s College was in the unwritten constitution of the College, and that was to develop a strong Christian character on the basis of Common Faith of the Church. The College was to maintain and perpetuate the best in their Scottish traditions, to encourage ideals of service in all walks of life, to give training for efficient and intelligent citizenship, and to make adequate provisions of soundness and physique. Each year-level was taught the fundamental principles of the Christian Faith with the theme of ‘Religion for Life.’ The school was accepting of other denominations and made arrangements for the students who wished to attend a different service. Morning and evening prayers were conducted every day in the Memorial Chapel. It is the belief of St. Andrew’s College that education must be holistic and embrace the spiritual and emotional well being of students, as well as their academic and social growth, and development in sports and the arts. [i](Left: St. Andrew's College students are painting in the art room)   [/i]

[b]Lindisfarne College, Hastings  [/b] Lindisfarne College in Hastings was established in 1951, upon the purchase of 20 acres of land, and the homestead of Mr. E. J. and F. D. Herrick on the outskirts of Hastings City. Although a young school Lindisfarne College prides itself on rich traditions associated with the name of “Lindisfarne.” In the Lindisfarne College prospectus it refers to how the Iona Girls’ College in Havelock North was inspired by the traditions of Iona; Lindisfarne College is inspired by the traditions on Lindisfarne Island. The College was birthed out of the need of a privately owned, Secondary School for growing boys. The closest schools of this description were as far away as Wanganui or Wellington. However, for their female counterparts, there were two privately owned Secondary Schools in the area, accommodating for 300 students. Lindisfarne College is the only school to offer private boarding and secondary education in Hastings. With smaller classes, there was closer contact between staff and pupils. This created a tight knit community, which allowed for greater opportunities for tuition, sport and cultural activities. Lindisfarne College officially opened in 1953, with an enrollment of 33 boys, and fully equipped classrooms and science labs. By 1955, the school had grown, and the dining room was built, further classrooms added and another residence was erected for the boarders. Being a attached to the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand, the school aimed to provide a full and balanced Christian education. There was daily worship, and every class received religious instruction. There was strong relationship between the students at Lindisfarne and local parishes and made allowances for pupils of other denominations. The idea to welcome more than one denomination arose from the apparent success of Iona Girls’ College and their allowance of a combined education. Today, there are 502 students, with about half of these being boarders. [i](Right: Lindisfarne College students in the science laboratory)[/i]  

[b]St. Cuthbert’ s College, Auckland [/b] St. Cuthbert’s College originally opened on 1st February 1915, officially named the Auckland Presbyterian Ladies College. It was located on Stokes Road, Mount Eden, and welcomed 90 students, 38 of whom were boarders. In 1917, most of the students were from the Auckland Province, several coming from southern parts of the Dominion, and ten pupils called Fiji home. Shortly after its opening, the name of the College was changed to St. Cuthbert’s College, and the motto ‘By Love Serve’ was adopted. This was chosen by the first principal of the school, Miss. Isobel Macdonald. Macdonald was of the Presbyterian Ladies College, Melbourne, was highly recommended, and the directors of the College felt extremely fortunate to have a principal with her level of expertise. Macdonald was supported by twelve permanent teachers, four who were graduates and three had taken their degree with honours. These permanent teachers were supplemented with seven visiting teachers. By the time the roll reached 190 students, 38 being boarders, it was decided that the College would have to move locations. In the interim, there was considerable construction, improvements and extensions made to the buildings and grounds. By the end of 1917, it was decided to limit the school roll to 300, with a maximum of 100 boarders. Questions arose of a new site for the school, but the Board of Governors struggled to find a suitable location. By limiting the numbers and erecting yet more large rooms it enabled the school to provide adequate and suitable needs for the pupils. By 1919, the Board of Governors had secured an alternative location at Epsom. In 1925 the move was made to Market Road, Epsom, where the school remains today. St. Cuthbert’s College was founded under the benefaction of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. The College was accepting of differing denominations and embraced all faiths. The core of the College’s community was Christian ethic, and the student were guided to respect the needs of others and appreciate differing viewpoints. There was feeling that although the day girls greatly influenced and were useful to the College, it was the boarders that made the chief contribution to the community. It was incredibly important that religious teaching was incorporated into daily school life, being a Christian institution. Religious instruction was an ordinary part of the school curriculum, Bible teaching was received by all students and this was mainly attended to by the principal. The school opened every day with praise and prayer, and in there was evening prayers for the boarders. Boarders have Sabbath afternoons on Sundays, and religious instruction was given by Reverend J. W. Shaw , for Presbyterian students, or by Canon McFarland for Anglican pupils. In terms of the community, there was feeling that although the day girls greatly influenced and were useful to the College, it was the boarders that made the chief contribution to the atmosphere of the College [i](Left: St. Cuthbert's boarders at the Easter Show)  [/i]

[b]Saint Kentigern, Auckland [/b] The bell rang at 9am on 3rd February 1953 for 92 pupils and 4 staff members to signify the commencement of schooling at Saint Kentigern. At the helm of the operation was Reverend Adam M L McFarlane, a Scotsman from Glasgow, whom would leave a legacy behind him and inspire many young boys transitioning to manhood. The original structure of Saint Kentigern’s belonged to Charles Roberts and his family, but has been heavily modified and adapted. Although Roberts’ homestead was a temporary measure, the building still stands today but has been serviced for a number of purposes. By 1954, the school had blossomed and the current roll stood at 230 boys, and the facility grew from four to ten. Later that year, on 2nd December, the Bruce House was opened. Bruce House was the boarding faculty and two years later 103 boys would occupy the dormitories. For Saint Kentigern “The mission of Saint Kentigern Trust Board is to provide education which inspires students to strive for excellence in all areas of life in the glory of God and the services of others.” The schooling will have a Christian focus on the traditions of the Presbyterian Church, and this will be an integral part of life at Saint Kentigern. In accordance with other Presbyterian colleges, a ‘House System’ was created to stimulate interest in school activities and to expose the students to healthy rivalries and loyalty. The four houses were Cargill (after Donald Cargill, a prominent field preacher of the Covenanters, Chalmers (after James Charmers, a missionary who worked in the Pacific Islands and New Guinea), Hamilton (after Patrick Hamilton, who was influenced by Martin Luther), and Wishart (after George Wishart who was a teacher also influenced by Martin Luther). It was compulsory for students to attend Divinity lessons delivered by the Headmaster, this was seen in a positive light by the young men. Between 1954 and 1956, the boarders at Bruce House were bussed to St. Columba’s Church, Panmure for weekly Sunday morning Service, under the guidance of Reverend Andrew Ross. With the increased number of boarders, the weekly Service was moved to St. Andrew’s Church, Howick. When the school was in the early stages, it was always desired to have a Saint Kentigern Chapel. In 1953, Mr. Thos Miller took it upon himself to set up a Chapel Fund. At the end of July 1972, the Chapel of Saint Kentigern was completed and consecrated. Saint Kentigern organised an abundance of outdoor activities, including the 5th Form camps at Hunua between 1958-60, where Reverend Dr. Adam MacFarlne would cook dressed in a kilt. Several years later, Mr. Clive Cashmore offered his property at Orere for a similar adventure. One of the highlights of many students was the camps that was organised in 1970, was used to engage the boys in discovering hidden personal resources. An adventure that was highly regarded was the ten day intensive outdoor programme at the Tongario National Park at the end of the year. Activities included map reading, utilising compasses, studying volcanoes, as well as the geology, geography and botany of the National park. [i](Right: Saint Kentigern's Orchestra, 1965)[/i]  

[b]St. Oran’s College, Lower Hutt [/b] St. Oran’s College was originally founded in 1958. It was the answer to a problem that was disrupting the education of young women. By the mid 1950’s, Queen Margaret College was the only Presbyterian Girl’s School for girls in Wellington. Queen Margaret College was bursting at its seams, with huge waiting lists, it had turned to rejecting the applications of hopeful students, to reduce numbers. The Chairman of the Board of Governors of Queen Margaret College approached the Wellington Presbytery with the idea of founding a similar College in Lower Hutt. The Wellington Presbytery passed this idea along to Reverend George Dallard, who at the time, was the minister of St. Stephen’s Presbytery Church in Lower Hutt. In 1957, Reverend Dallard gained official approval from a Presbytery for a Presbyterian Girls’ College in the Hutt Valley. After searching for a location, a suitable site was found, 550 High Street. It was land that was owned by an Anglican Trust and could not be sold. The site was therefore leased for 99 years. On the 26th November 1953, the proposed school was legally known as Hutt Valley Presbyterian College for Girls Incorporated. Five years later, ten members of the Board of Governors were formally established, most of whom were Presbyterian themselves. Discussion followed over the motto, uniform and the school’s name. The latter topic stirred much debate. St. Oran’s School was officially approved by the Wellington Presbytery in February 1959. 21 students started their school year that same month. St. Oran’s College applied to become an integrated School, but this application was declined on a formality. In order to become integrated, the governing body of the school had to provide evidence of owning the land. St. Oran’s College was located on land that was leased, albeit for 99 years. The Anglican Boys Diocese stated that the land could be purchased, based on this 99 year contract. A further calamity was that the Minister of Education was not eager to integrate more schools. However, in 1991, notification as received that the Minister signed the agreement for integration, and permission was granted that at the beginning of the first term, the school could open as an integrated college ([i]Left: Past and present staff members at the 40th jubilee of St. Oran's College, 1999)   [/i]
