Old Boys of our College have attained prominent distinction in academia, the arts, sport and business, and we are fortunate to have many of our Old Boys active in our community.
St John's College prepares students for life in the wider community of Aotearoa New Zealand and the world. Our curriculum is evolving and regularly reviewed in this rapidly changing world.

National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3
