What you should know about St Pauls Collegiate School
St Paul’s Collegiate School takes its name from the greatest apostle of the Mediterranean, Saint Paul a man who laid the foundations of the church in Greece, Italy and Turkey. The rise of St Paul’s, from its small beginnings to its present position as a premier school in the Waikato, began on 12 February 1959 when the School opened under headmastership of Mr W. From 1963 to 1969 a number of significant events occurred at the School under the stewardship of Headmaster Hornsby. Among these changes were the construction of the dining hall and the opening of the library and gymnasium. The construction and dedication of the Chapel of Christ the King was also during Mr Hornsby’s time, as was the creation of the Leaver’s Service ritual where graduates are presented with a Bible.
After the construction of the chapel the heavy brass cross and candlesticks on the altar were donated to the School by the boys of St Paul’s School, London, and subsidised by one of their former students, also known as an Old Pauline, who was based in New Zealand. Headmaster Hart, 1970 to 1979, oversaw the establishment of Tihoi Venture School and the construction of Clark House and the music block. Twenty years later, in 1998, a major building programme was undertaken with direction from former headmaster Cole. The programme resulted in opening the Student Centre, rebuilding the science and technology centres and refurbishing many of the School’s classrooms.
More recently, in 2007, under the leadership of former headmaster Fenton, a water based astroturf hockey field was completed along with a state of the art sports centre, which includes a gymnasium, indoor cricket nets, basketball courts, squash courts and classrooms. The motto recognises the central role that the Church plays in the life of St Paul’s. The complete saying was taken from the writings of Saint Paul, First Epistle to the Corinthians , Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong. Every year there is a service of thanksgiving for the Founders of the School, Messrs George Ivan Clark, Eric Freeman Clayton Green, Marcus Rattray Fitchett, Harry Gardner Hall, Neville Irving McKean, Paul Clement Scott Sergel, Henry Augustus Swarbrick and Robert Henry Wynyard.
The service is held on the seventh Sunday of the second term, giving members of the School the opportunity to . assess and celebrate our progress as a school committed to providing a Christian education and. simply to state before God our gladness to be the current community of St Paul’s. In roughly 1960 one of St Paul’s founders, Dr Marcus Fitchett, returned from a trip to England and advised he had persuaded a former student of Christ’s College, Mr FA Gresham, to ask the Admiralty to present the redundant warship bell for use at St Paul’s. The bell was hung in the quad of the school in a shelter made by students under the supervision of the woodwork teacher Mr John Pudney in 1962. 77 Hukanui Road, Private Bag 3069, Waikato Mail Centre, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand Tel
