Parents and Collegians' farewell Headmaster Grant Lander

St Paul's Collegiate School —

We welcomed parents - past and present - along with Collegians to farewell Mr Lander on Friday 26 March.

We thank all of those who attended the Headmaster's community farewell last Friday evening. It was a lovely occasion to reminisce and to bid Grant and Judith Lander well in their retirement together. 

The Collegians' Association presented Grant and Judith with a seaside painting commissioned by a teacher from Lindisfarne College as a farewell gift. 

While the Parents' Association collected $12,000 from families who wanted to contribute to a farewell gift for the pair. On the night, they presented Grant and Judith with some incredible luxury accommodation, meals and experiences for their month-long tour of the South Island in June, along with a set of golf clubs and vouchers. 

Mr Lander's last day of school will be 16 April 2021.
