John McGlashan College
Secondary school in Dunedin, New Zealand
John McGlashan College is a high-performing Year 7-13 secondary school for boarders and dayboys in Dunedin, a long-established university city in New Zealand.
"John McGlashan College provides boys with a broad, personalised education to help them grow into independent young men of integrity." Mr Neil Garry ~ Principal
The college understands the individuality of each boy and we provide every student with strong foundations for life and extensive opportunities to develop his abilities. Over the decades, McGlashan men have become leaders in business and agriculture and in academic and professional fields.
We want our students to become well-educated men of character. We want them to learn to have the courage to stand, alone if necessary, for what they believe is right and to use their education and influence for the good of others. Boys will leave the College as men of integrity and conviction.
We aim for intellectual excellence. By means of a well-structured curriculum and through effective teaching and learning programmes we strive to instil the capacity for rigorous analysis, disciplined reflection and clear expression.
In line with the NZ Curriculum, we value and acknowledge the importance of:
- excellence, particularly when arising from hard work and perseverance innovation and curiosity
- diversity – of cultures, ideas and languages
- equity, fairness and social justice
- ecological sustainability
We believe that every boy should be treated with respect and that we should teach and abide by Christian principles. The College will be a safe place, at all times, for all who live and learn in it - a place where boys can work hard and play hard and enjoy each other’s company.
