John McGlashan College is a state, integrated secondary, day and boarding school for boys, located in the suburb of Maori Hill in Dunedin, New Zealand. The school currently caters for approximately 490 students from years 7 to 13, including 110 boarders.[1]
The school is named after John McGlashan, a significant Presbyterian lawyer, politician, public servant and educationalist, and was founded after his daughters' gift of the family home and estate in 1919 on the provision that a Presbytarian school was established for boys.[2] Originally established as a Presbyterian private school, John McGlashan College integrated in to the state system in 1989.[3]
John McGlashan College has a relationship with Ichikawa Gakuen, a large private school near Tokyo, Japan. There is also an annual exchange with the Centre International de Valbonne and Lycée Regional Valbonne Sophia-Antipolis in France for those who take part in the French program at the college. The German Exchange is a nation-wide exchange and is also supported by the college through its German program.
