St Kevin's College, Oamaru

St Kevin's College (also called Redcastle) in Oamaru, New Zealand, is a Catholic, coeducational, integrated, boarding and day, secondary school. It was founded by the Christian Brothers in 1927 for boys and became a co-educational school in 1983 on the closing of St Thomas's Girls' Secondary School operated by the Dominican Sisters. The college became a state integrated coeducational school in the same year. The Christian Brothers ceased to be on the teaching staff of the college in the late 1990s but remained the school's proprietor, and so appointed representatives to the college board until 2019 when they transferred the ownership of St Kevin's College to the Catholic Bishop of Dunedin. The Catholic primary school for Oamaru, St Joseph's primary School is to be rebuilt on the St Kevin's College campus while retaining its separate identity with the two schools schools governed by a common board.
