or over 70 years, Saint Kentigern has been guided by a bold vision for education, grounded in faith and committed to shaping lives of purpose and contribution. With the trust of generations behind us, we carry the responsibility not only to honour that legacy, but also the duty to shape the future of learning for the students in our care.
Guided by our Statement of Intent, our thinking has centred on priorities that include deeper learning, strengthening leadership and service, and building a greater sense of connection and belonging. Through the Saint Kentigern Alumni Association and its members we are pleased to introduce a third campus for Saint Kentigern –Wilson Bay Farm.
Wilson Bay Farm creates opportunities that reach across our Saint Kentigern community — students, staff, families, alumni, and partners. These opportunities, experiences, and connections will help foster an interconnected community through which students learn to lead with purpose and contribute positively to their communities, country, and beyond.
Wilson Bay Farm marks the beginning of a new chapter — a continuation of our founding purpose: a legacy shaped by faith, made possible by the community, and called forward by a vision too important to ignore.
A Place of Possibility and Promise
Located on the Coromandel Peninsula, Wilson Bay Farm is a 1,000-acre coastal property of remarkable scale and natural beauty.
As a purposeful extension of our Shore Road and Pakuranga campuses, Wilson Bay Farm will broaden the Saint Kentigern learning journey — offering a distinct setting where hands-on experiences, from managing waterways to growing food, spark curiosity, inspire innovative thinking, and invite students to design and test ideas in real-world conditions. In doing so, students develop practical skills, a deeper understanding of how systems interact, and a lasting respect for the environment — all within a setting that reflects the richness of our land and identity.
Wilson Bay Farm will offer experiences that shape the whole person. Through outdoor education and physical challenges, students will grow in confidence and resilience. In a setting where students of all ages collaborate and learn together, there will be rich opportunities to lead with purpose, serve with humility, and learn to appreciate the difference they can make in the lives of others and the world around them. A place full of possibility and promise.
It is accessible by boat, approximately 90 minutes from Half Moon Bay, and we will be exploring possible access via the estuary to our College Campus.

ore than 20,000 Saint Kentigern alumni carry forward a legacy shaped by faith, service, and purpose. They have led with intention, helping to shape industries, drive innovation, and serve communities around the world. From business leaders and pioneers, philanthropists, and changemakers, they continue to make a lasting impact on the global stage.
Wilson Bay Farm will be built with alumni at its heart, and it will open the possibility for new pathways that connect our students with realworld challenges and the industries central to our country.
Together, we have the opportunity to co-create a place of purpose and impact, one that honours our values, reflects our identity and creates a deep sense of belonging. A place where students will grow through challenge, discover purpose, and learn what it means to contribute to something greater than themselves.

The Saint Kentigern Alumni Association invites its members to bring continuity, conviction, and confident leadership to this defining moment.
An Invitation to Shape the Future
Together, we will continue to build a legacy of excellence, leadership and stewardship that will inspire generations to come.
Wilson Bay Farm Campus presents an invitation to be part of something that will shape the future of education at Saint Kentigern.
With the development of a residential and educational village as an immediate priority, we invite those who share this vision, to help build what cannot be built without bold, forwardthinking support.
Our goal is for all students from Years 4 to 13 to experience learning at the farm each year from 2027.
This is not about funding what already exists. It’s about making possible what otherwise would not be.
We welcome your involvement in this defining moment. To discuss opportunities to help bring this vision to life, contact:
