About Lindisfarne College
Lindisfarne College is a state-integrated boarding and day school for boys, located on a stunning 22ha park-like campus on the outskirts of Hastings in Hawke’s Bay. Since opening in 1953, Lindisfarne College has had a clear vision: that the young men of Lindisfarne will be of good character and will go on to lead lives of success and significance.
Immersed in the Lindisfarne College culture of excellence, every boy is motivated to discover his strengths - whether it be in the classroom, on the sports field, on the stage, or in serving others.
Success, however, is not just measured by what a Lindisfarne boy achieves, but how he chooses to live his life as a good son, brother, and friend, and future colleague, husband, father.
The Four Cornerstones
At Lindisfarne, we talk of our Four Cornerstones of learning. These are Academic Excellence, Sporting Endeavour, Cultural Participation, and Christian Dimension.
It is these Four Cornerstones that provide the foundation of a balanced education that emphasises excellence. These cornerstones also empower ordinary boys to achieve extraordinary things and, above all, allow them to be the best that they can be.
Underpinning our Four Cornerstones is our commitment to building outstanding character in all our young men through leadership, mentoring, our pastoral care programme, team building and service-related activities.
