Rangi Ruru Girls' School
Rangi Ruru Girls' School is a private girls' day and boarding secondary school located in Merivale, an inner suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. The school is affiliated to the Presbyterian Church, and serves approximately girls from Years 7 to 13 (ages 10 to 18).
==History==
The school was founded in 1889 when Frederick Gibson bought a school run in Papanui by friends of his - Ada, Kate and Jessie Gresham. The school had 18 students, and initially Gibson's daughters Alice and Helen and their mother Mary ran the school, calling it "Miss Gibson's Private School for Girls". In 1891 the school moved to a building in Webb Street and was renamed ''Rangi Ruru'', meaning "wide sky-shelter". This name had been suggested by a Māori chief of Rapaki Pa, Paora Taki, a friend of Frederick Gibson. Helen Gibson continued as Principal and her sisters Alice, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred joined as teachers. The school prospered under Helen Gibson's leadership, and grew to over 200 students at the time of her death in 1938.
The Rangi Ruru Board of Governors was established in 1946 when Presbyterian Church members purchased the school. While the Christchurch Presbytery approves appointments, the board is autonomous.
