A History Of St Joseph's Maori Girls' College
Paperback Edition: 1
This is the first comprehensive history of St Joseph's Maori Girls' College, the second oldest Maori boarding school, which was started by Sisters of Our Lady of the Mission in 1868. For 152 years, the college has been dedicated to nurturing the aspirations of young Maori women. Their teachings are grounded in Whanaungatanga, Maoritanga, religious values and academic excellence. The college has given rise to numerous Maori trailblazers. In a variety of fields. But success has not come without its challenges: the college has had to respond to anti-Catholic and anti-French sentiments, financial struggles and prejudice towards educating Maori women in a Pakeha male-dominated education system. This book brings together the recollections of former pupils, staff and whanau (over 160 interviews were conducted). At its core, it is a story of sisterhood.
