Foundation

St Cuthbert’s College, which was established in 1915, is a Christian day and boarding school for 1480 girls from Year 1 to Year 13. The College accommodates 125 boarders from Year 7 to Year 13.

Intake Levels

The main intake levels are Y1, Y7 and Y9.

The College

The campus covers over six hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens with substantial trees.  Outstanding sporting facilities include floodlit tennis and netball courts, a competition hockey turf, a sports centre with squash courts and a heated indoor swimming pool, outdoor pool and diving pool.

A new Performing Arts Centre is due for completion in 2011.

St Cuthbert’s is one of the largest wireless educational facilities in the country, running both Apple and Windows machines.

The College’s remote campus, Kahunui, offers Y10 students a cross-platform, month-long experiential learning experience and aims to help the girls develop greater levels of emotional, physical and intellectual fitness.

The Curriculum

Innovative learning programmes underpin the St Cuthbert’s culture with all students developing a wide range of thinking strategies through our internationally recognised Thinking Skills Programme.

The Junior School (Y1 to Y8) offers a substantial programme based on the New Zealand Curriculum, with a strong focus on Literacy and Numeracy. Students at all levels in the Junior School have specialist teachers in music, physical education, information technology and drama as well as French in Y4-Y8. The enrichment programme includes philosophy at all levels. Teaching is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Philosophy of a programme built around the interests of the children.

In Senior School, the College offers students in Y12 the International Baccalaureate or NCEA pathway. Both programmes give students a solid foundation in the sciences and arts, preparing them for success at tertiary level nationally or internationally and in their chosen careers. The College encourages students to think analytically and creatively and to display initiative. The GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) programme is available to suitably gifted students.

Co-curricular

Professional staff and coaches supported by facilities of the highest quality consistently enable St Cuthbert’s College to achieve outstanding results at regional, national and international levels in a number of sports. Music and drama contribute a great deal to the life of the College. Choirs, orchestras and productions provide students with a comprehensive range of opportunities in the performing arts.

Scholarships

A number of scholarships are awarded each year for academic and cultural ability. Please refer to the St Cuthbert’s College website for further information.
