Corran Old Girls Association

The Old Girls Assn is deeply saddened to learn of the death of the Hon. Nikki Kaye, a tremendously talented young woman and proud Corran Old Girl

A real trip down memory lane - lunch with some old Corran girls
at the Jewish Deli in Ranui Road. The old house on the corner has gone and a most attractive cafe and deli has taken its place.

Received the most beautiful Christmas present. The loveliest calendar of birds and flowers, beautifully photographed by Lucy Gauntlett - one of our many artistic old girls.

Very warm congratulations to Nikki Kaye - the epitome of a Corran Old Girl!

Congratulations to old girl Jen Shieff - a finalist in the Ngaio Marsh crime writers awards for her book 'The Vanishing Act'!

Dear Saint Kentigern Community member

I am very pleased to be able to tell you the Saint Kentigern Trust Board has completed an agreement for the sale of the current site of our Girls’ School and Preschool on Remuera Road, and I have copied below a short statement we are also making available to relevant media on this today.

As noted in the statement, we are particularly pleased the Auckland Hebrew Congregation will be taking ownership: retaining the site’s educational heritage and also providing for our Girls’ School and Preschool to enjoy uninterrupted use of the current campus until they are ready to move to the new purpose-built facilities that will be constructed at the Shore Road campus.

I hope you will join with me in welcoming this as a significant step in advancing the master plan for the Shore Road campus and in providing for the needs of future generations of Saint Kentigern students.

We look forward to updating you more fully on other areas of progress with the master plan over the coming fortnight.
Kind regards





Dr John Kernohan
Trust Board Chair


Saint Kentigern confirms sale of Remuera Road campus to Auckland Hebrew Congregation
8 April 2019

The Saint Kentigern Trust Board is delighted to confirm it has completed an agreement for the sale of the current site of its Girls’ School and Preschool on Remuera Road to the Auckland Hebrew Congregation.

“This outcome follows a competitive tender process in which we were very pleased by the high level of interest shown in the property, and particularly delighted to see that it will now continue to meet the needs of another faith-based community,” Dr John Kernohan, Chairman of the Trust Board, said.

“We understand that the Auckland Hebrew Community may also be using some of the campus as an educational facility, which sits very well with its heritage with both Saint Kentigern and Corran School before us.
“Pleasingly, this outcome provides for continued uninterrupted use of the Remuera Road campus by our Girls’ School and Preschool until they move to their new facilities at the Shore Road campus.”

The sale gives financial certainty to Saint Kentigern in proceeding with a master plan for the Shore Road campus which will include new Boys’ School Senior classrooms, the construction of a separate new purpose-built Girls’ School, new specialist classrooms for Science, Technology and the Performing Arts, and a new Preschool in providing for current and future generations of students.

Saint Kentigern will advance and provide more information on planning for new facilities at its Pakuranga Road Campus over coming months.
Saint Kentigern has longstanding and warm ties with the Auckland Jewish community, making this outcome especially welcome, Dr Kernohan said.

Very sad to see St Kentigern are putting 514 up for sale! So much history to be lost.

Minutes from the Corran Old Girls Association AGM, held on Wednesday 2 August 2017, have just been sent out by email. If you have not received a newsletter and wish to receive updates from COGA, please email [email protected] and request to be added to the newsletter database.

Reminder that the AGM for Corran Old Girls is coming up on 2nd August, just over a week away. None of the current committee members are available for re-election, so we need new people for the committee ... else COGA will have a meeting immediately after the AGM to take the steps needed to close down and redistribute funds. (Please refer to the agenda as set out in the AGM details.)

So far we have had one Corran Old Girl offer herself as a committee member ... anyone else interested in making a contribution to the future COGA?

If you have not received an email about the AGM, you are not on our mailing list. Please send an email to [email protected] to be added to the mailing list, and to let us know whether you are available for further contributions to the Corran Old Girls Association.
