Saint Kentigern College

The Saint Kentigern Trust was founded in 1949 to provide schools for boys in Auckland and is an independent body with the power to appoint its members. The Presbytery of Auckland nominates two members. The Trust is incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 (previously the 'Religious Charitable and Educational Trusts Act 1908') and 2005. In 1953, the Trust Board opened Saint Kentigern College, Pakuranga, to educate boys from Form I to Form VII. In 1959, Saint Kentigern School, Shore Road, Remuera, was opened to provide education from the Primers to Form II. On 12 December 1995, by Act of Parliament, the Trust Deed was amended to provide for the education of girls as well as boys, and in 2003, the 50th Jubilee year, the education of girls commenced at the College.
