Hukarere Girls' College is a girls secondary boarding school in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand. It has a strong Māori character and follows the Anglican tradition. The School motto "Kia Ū Ki Te Pai" means "Cleave to that which is good" or "Abhor that which is evil" (Romans 12 verse 9, New Testament of the Bible). The school opened in July 1875 under the name Hukarere Native School for Girls, then became Hukarere Girls’ School and from 1970 to 1992 it was known as Hukarere Hostel, as during this period of time the students attended Napier Girls' High School. The school was re-established in 1993 and is known as Hukarere Girls’ College. Long located in the city of Napier, it has been at Herepoho, Eskdale, just north of the city, since 2003. == Establishment of the school on Hukarere Road == Bishop William Williams worked with his son-in-law Samuel Williams to establish the girls’ school, as a related school to Te Aute College, which they established in 1854. The school was first established in August 1875 on a site in Hukarere Road, Napier near to Bishop Williams' house. Samuel was gifted £700 from his aunt Catherine Heathcote to build Hukarere School. William Williams donated the site, with a small government grant, assistance from the Te Aute estate and Catherine Heathcote, the building began in 1874 and was completed by July 1875. When the school opened there were seven students, the next year the role increased to 30 and by 1877 there were 60 students at the school. The operations of the school were supported by three of Bishop Williams’s daughters. Anna Maria Williams, known as 'Miss Maria', as the superintendent of the school; she kept the accounts, managed the correspondence and taught English and the Scriptures. She was assisted by her sisters, Lydia Catherine ('Miss Kate') and Marianne ('Miss Mary Anne').〔 Miss Minton was the matron for a number of years and Miss Down was the head teacher who was assisted for various periods by Misses Webb, Prentice and L. Down. Maria Williams believed that she had achieved a desirable balance in her curriculum; one of academic study and practical skills, although the Inspectors of Native Schools wanted the curriculum to focus on practical skills. In 1899 Jane Helena Bulstrode, from England, was appointed principal. Two years later her sister, Emily Mary Bulstrode, joined her as head teacher.〔 The Bulstrode sisters maintained the emphasis on a Christian education with training in domestic skills and also encouraged students to enter university and to train as nurses and teachers.〔 Mereana Tangata (Mereana Hattaway) (1869-1929), was probably the first Māori nursing graduate at Auckland Hospital. By 1903 three old girls had trained as nurses at Napier Hospital and six old girls had trained as teachers.〔 However government policy, such staffing of the district health nursing scheme which was implementation in 1911, and also the control over the curriculum imposed by the Inspectors of Native Schools, had a negative effect on academic education in Māori denominational boarding schools and the career opportunities for Hukarere old girls.〔〔 Trustees were appointed to hold the property of the school. From 1892 the Te Aute Trust, which was established to maintain Te Aute College, contributed to the maintenance of the Hukarere Maori Girls' School in accordance with the Hukarere Maori Girls' School Act 1892.〔 The school was governed by the Te Aute-Hukarere Trust Board, which was responsible for both Hukarere and Te Aute colleges. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hukarere Girls' College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
