About StAC

Our Future

IMG4479

As the College moves towards its centenary in 2017, dramatic changes are taking place on our campus. Comprehensive improvements are being made to the Preparatory and Secondary schools to support teaching and learning goals. Our aim is to provide state-of-the-art facilities and resources that will carry the College confidently and successfully into its second century of existence.

Already, there is ample evidence of our Master Building Plan coming to fruition. In 2008 our mountain lodge at Castle Hill in the spectacular Canterbury high country was completely rebuilt, providing students with a superb base for their education outside the classroom and special training programmes. In 2010 the Spiro Science and Mathematics Centre opened. The centre fronts onto the clean, open space of the new Secondary School quad with its striking geometric lines and shaded seating areas. Early in 2011, superb new future-focused teaching and learning facilities for the Preparatory School were completed. A new gymnasium and performing arts complex are earmarked for construction before 2015.

Within a few years, the St Andrew’s College campus will be simply breath-taking. Our world-class teaching and learning programmes will be supported by modern, custom-designed facilities, giving our students the best possible chance of fulfilling their potential.
