Жаңа Зеландиядағы Сент-Кевин Колледжінің тарихы мен ерекшеліктері

St Kevin's College (also called Redcastle) in Oamaru, New Zealand, is a Catholic, coeducational, integrated, boarding and day, secondary school. It was founded by the Christian Brothers in 1927 for boys and became a co educational school in 1983 after the Dominican Sisters closed down St Parick's College, Teschemakers, Oamaru. St Kevin's College became a state integrated school in 1983. The Christian Brothers ceased to be on the teaching staff of the college in the late 1990s but remained the school's proprietor, and so appointed representatives to the college board, until 2019 when they transferred the ownership of St Kevin's College to the Bishop of Dunedin.

In 2019, St Kevin's College had a roll of about 450 students including approximately 80 boarding students and 370 day students. Its gender composition in 2019 was female 50% and male 50%. In that year, the college's maximum roll under the Education Act 1989 was 465 pupils.

In February 1983 St Kevin's became co educational. Until 1979 girls boarded at Teschemakers, a secondary school located about 12 km south of Oamaru. St Kevin's College currently has boarding capacity for over 100 girls. Students come mainly from Oamaru and the surrounding rural areas (many of them ex pupils of St Joseph's School, Oamaru) with some coming from more distant New Zealand and overseas locations. The school benefits from modern facilities and spacious grounds to provide, amongst other learning opportunities, an equestrian academy, a primary industry trades academy, and opportunities in the media and a wide range of sports activities.

The college has produced seven All Blacks and one Silver Fern. Students participate in many sports including: hockey, rugby, basketball, soccer, netball, swimming, rowing, cricket, tennis, squash, badminton, skiing, snowboarding, multi sport, athletics, tramping and kayaking. Swimming, athletic and cross country sports are particularly emphasised and all students participate. The college has its own golf course, swimming pool, turf and gymnasium. St Kevins strongly participates in Rugby competitions. There is an annual game with Waitaki Boys' High School (located near Redcastle) for the Leo O’Malley Memorial Trophy ("the peanut"). This attracts up to 5000 spectators in anticipation of a tight match. As at 2014, Waitaki was the more frequent winner hoisting the trophy on 53 occasions to St Kevin's 21 wins with 5 draws. This rivalry is often referred to as "the blooder" by St Kevin's students, originating from St Kevin's students calling Waitaki Boys blood nuts because of the colour of their blazers. The St Kevin's blazers are blue.

The College emphasises public speaking, singing, drama, debating, choirs, dance, reading aloud, role plays and scripture reading. Cultural activities, such as the annual choral festival and annual production, are timetabled into the school year so that all students are involved to some degree. The College participates in the annual Bishop's Shield Competition which it has won several times. Debating is also encouraged. Many students learn music and learn to play musical instruments within the school day. The college has music ensembles and some students play in groups and orchestras outside the college. There is a Chapel Choir for College liturgical events.

In 2019 a million dollar upgrade of the five building hostel block was commenced with the aim of attracting more boarding student enrolments. The improvements were funded by the Christian Brothers.

For its first 55 years, St Kevin's College was typical of Christian Brother boarding institutions in Australia and New Zealand. They were designed to provide a Catholic education for the sons of rural Catholic families. For the Christian Brothers they were places of particularly hard work. Individual Brothers taught throughout the day, coached sports teams after school, supervised meals and study, and were responsible for the dormitories at night. The Brothers generally had to be young men with energy.

St Patrick's College, a secondary boarding school for girls operated by the Dominican Sisters, existed at Teschemakers, 10 kilometres south of Oamaru, for 65 years from 1912 to 1977. The school was associated with the McCarthy family of North Otago which donated the property, and it opened with seven Dominican sisters and seven boarders. In its early years the school tried to be self supporting and the student day commenced with 4am cow milking. There was no running water. it had to be pumped by hand, and there was no electricity, only oil lamps and candles. The college's fine buildings were erected and the beautiful and tranquil surroundings impacted on and shaped the lives of the pupils and teachers. The Gothic revival chapel of the Holy Rosary was commissioned in 1912 and paid for by the generosity of a local benefactor from Oamaru, Frances Grant. It was designed by the prominent Dunedin architect of the day, F. W. Petre and completed in 1916. Teschemakers, once home to 140 boarding girls, was closed as a school, mainly because there weren’t enough sisters to teach and manage it. In 1980, it became a conference and retreat centre until the Dominicans sold it in 2000. After the sale, there was controversy over the future of the Gothic Revival style Carrara marble altar with its alabaster depiction of The Last Supper. The Dominicans had given the altar to a church in Dunedin. However a ruling by the Environment Court meant that the altar remained. The chapel is open to the public daily. It is used as a wedding venue and the convent buildings are a boutique hotel. Many of the sisters and female relatives of St Kevin's College boys attended this beautiful school. The closure of the school was a factor in St Kevin's College becoming co educational in 1983 and Dominican sisters from the closed school joined the St Kevin's staff. The memory of Teschemakers remains an important part of the tradition of St Kevin's College.
