St Cuthbert's College is a private (independent) non-denominational day and boarding school for girls, located in Epsom, Auckland, New Zealand. The school, named after the Northumbrian monk-bishop Saint Cuthbert, serves Years 1 to 13 (ages 5 to 18). As of November 2012, it has a roll of 1432 students,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= New Zealand Schools - Education Counts )〕 including around 135 boarders from Years 7 to 13.〔 St Cuthbert's is regarded as one of the best performing schools in New Zealand, with ''Metro'' magazine placing it first in its controversial ranking of Auckland's top 25 schools in 2006. It has regularly topped the academic ranking table based on Year Eleven (NCEA Level 1/School Certificate) and Year Thirteen (NCEA Level 3/Bursary) examinations and performs strongly in sporting and cultural encounters. The school is affiliated with the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA), the New Zealand Boarding Schools' Association (NZBSA) Independent Schools of New Zealand (ISNZ), and is an overseas member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA).〔 〕 The school offers both the International Baccalaureate diplomas and the national NCEA qualification. ==History== The College was established as the Auckland Presbyterian College for Ladies Ltd in 1915, when a group of Presbyterian fathers purchased Mt Eden Collegiate, a private school for girls, and appointed Miss Isobel Macdonald as the school's first Principal. Miss Macdonald chose the motto, "By Love, Serve", and renamed the school St Cuthbert's College as the Trust Board has suggested that a shorter and more distinctive name was required. Since 1918 the College has celebrated St Cuthbert's Day annually in March. In 1925, the College moved to its present site in Epsom, and subsequently a development of the school's facilities began. In 1932, three school houses were established, Dunblane, Elgin and Melrose, each named after places of significance in the life of St Cuthbert.〔 In 1936, the winter uniform was changed to Black Watch tartan, after the then principal, Lavinia Clouston, had seen the uniform at the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney. Black Watch tartan also has been the summer uniform since 1966. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Cuthbert's College, Auckland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
