St Paul's Collegiate School

St Paul's Collegiate School is a private (independent) Anglican secondary school in Hamilton, New Zealand. Originally opened in 1959 as a boys-only school, the school began admitting girls in years 12 to 13 in 1985, then in years 11 to 13 in 2010, and finally in years 9 to 10 in 2026. St Paul's Collegiate was founded by the Anglican community, including the parents of some Southwell School students. The school is on land that was a part of the farm, Cherrybrook, which belonged to Andrew Primrose, Esq., J.P. an early settler and resident of Waikato. The land purchased by Primrose had been confiscated from Māori by the Grey Colonial government. The school owns and operates Tihoi Venture School, on the edge of the Pureora Forest Park around 50 km west of Taupō. Year 10 students attend Tihoi for two terms (18 weeks) as part of an adventure-based character development and education programme.
