From the John Kinder Theological Library - 'St Stephen's School was an Anglican Māori boys' boarding school.
It was initially established in 1844 as a girls' school, but in 1860 it changed to a boys' school. While it was originally located in Parnell, Auckland, in 1931 it was relocated to Bombay Hills. St Stephen's was the brother school to Queen Victoria School.'
From Te Ara - 'In 1973 and 1974 St Stephens and Te Aute both became state schools, although their boarding hostels continued to be privately run, and existing staff remained in place. Other Māori boarding schools became state-integrated from 1976.'
Controlling organisation: Faith-based state-integrated.
At the beginning of 2025, Tipene (St Stephens School) opened on the site as a charter school.
