Te Aute College (Māori: Te Kura o Te Aute) is a school in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand. It opened in 1854 with twelve pupils under Samuel Williams, an Anglican missionary, and nephew and son-in-law of Bishop William Williams. It has a strong Māori character. It was built on land provided by Te Whatuiapiti, a hapū of the Ngāti Kahungunu iwi. In 1857, a Deed of Gift transferred the land from Te Whatuiapiti to the Crown, with a request that it be granted to the Bishop of New Zealand and his successors. ==Early history== In 1859 Samuel Williams closed the school when fire destroyed school buildings. Samuel Williams worked on establishing the financial resources to operate the school. His aunt Catherine Heathcote assisted with financial support and in 1870 he had accumulated £700; building began in 1871 and was completed in 1872. The school re-opened in 1872 under John Reynolds as headmaster. The school gradually expanded. In 1874 there were 24 Māori and 3 English boarders and some day pupils.〔 In October 1877, Douglas Maclean set up the Te Makarini Trust in memory of his father, Donald McLean, who was one of the most influential figures in Māori-Pākehā relations in the mid-1800s. From the initial endowment of £3,000, Te Aute College is providing annual scholarships to gifted Māori students. Te Aute Chapel was built in 1900 to a design by Charles Natusch. Mr. John Thornton was headmaster of Te Aute from 1878 until June 1912. He had as assistants for varying periods Messrs. Winkleman, Jardine, Webb, Cato and others. The Rev. J. A. McNickle was appointed headmaster on 21 October 1912, with Mr. Cato continuing as second master until June 1915. Masters during World War I included Messrs. F. W. Christian, Brandon and Bannatyne. In 1919 Mr Ernie Loten was appointed headmaster. In 1918-19 school buildings were damaged by fire; there was a major rebuilding program in 1922-23. On 3 February 1931 the buildings were damaged in the Hawke's Bay earthquake. 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「Te Aute College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
