Nukutere College
Nukutere College is a Roman Catholic secondary school located in Avarua, Rarotonga, Cook Islands. It is the country’s only Roman Catholic secondary school and has an important educational role across the archipelago.〔(Media Release, "Help rebuild Cook Islands college", ''Catholic Missions: The work of the Pontifical Mission Societies'', 21 March 2006. ) (retrieved 17 February 2011)〕 "Nukutere" means "people on a journey", a reference to the pilgrim Church in the South Pacific context.〔Graeme Donaldson, ''To All Parts of the Kingdom, Christian Brothers in New Zealand 1876-2001'', New Zealand Christian Brothers Province, 2001, p. 20〕
==History==
The college was opened in 1975 by Bishop John Rodgers SM, Bishop of Rarotonga. It was first staffed by Father Peter Salamonsen SM and Sister Berenice Stevens RSM. The Christian Brothers provided staff for the school from the beginning of the 1976 school year until the end of 2009. Brother Terence Vitus "Terry" McErlane became the second headmaster. Brothers Simon Coughlan and Joseph McRae were the other members of that first Christian Brothers community. For some years Sister Elizabeth Browne-Russell (SJC), a sister of St Joseph of Cluny, served as deputy principal.〔Graeme Donaldson, pp. 20-21; Brother V. Hawley cfc, "Christian Brothers' Mission in the Cook Islands", ''Our Life'', May 2007, p. 36: ().〕
From its beginnings, the school's financial position was somewhat parlous especially after it became necessary to employ lay teachers starting in the 1980s. In 2000 the Cook Islands' Government began to pay 75% of teachers' salaries and running costs in all private and church schools. At the same time the schools' principal, Brother Norman Gillies established a charitable trust to ensure a regular supplementary income for future maintenance and development.〔Graeme Donaldson, p. 21〕 The Silver Jubilee of the College and the presence of the Christian Brothers was marked in 2000.〔 In 2005, the school had a roll of 190.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Catholic Schools' supplement )〕
On 20 February 2006 part of the school was destroyed by fire. Later that year the block was rebuilt with funds supplied by the New Zealand Government through the Cook Islands Investment Commission (CIIC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NEWS update )〕 The new block was designed by an Auckland architecture firm, (Architectus ).
