What you should know about Dilworth Trust Board

Board in Auckland, Consultancy in Auckland

Scholarships awarded for Years 5 to 8 continue only up to the end of Year 8. Each boy is interviewed prior to approval being granted for continuation of his education at Dilworth School. For many, the Dilworth journey begins at our Junior Campus in Remuera, where nearly 200 boys are introduced to boarding school life some as young as nine years old. Each year, we accept around 24 boys in Year 5 and around 48 boys in Year 7 places that are hotly contested. We endeavour to implement the vision of James and Isabella Dilworth to take into the school good boys from disadvantaged families and make them better. The selection of a boy for a Dilworth scholarship begins a journey for the student and his family, which often lasts for at least seven years.
The Anglican foundation of the School, with Christian Education programmes in Chapel and classrooms, provides a strong framework of faith and values for the present and the future. Dilworth turns good boys into fine young men men whose lives have been transformed by the power of an excellent education. Cultural activities form a large part of the Dilworth experience for students across all three campuses. In addition, competitions such as House Music and the Talent Quest provide opportunities for all boys to perform.
We know through experience that if a boy feels safe, certain and cared for, if he’s living in a secure and consistent environment, and if that’s backed by an excellent education with strong Christian values, he can achieve just about anything. When a student's pastoral needs are being met, he feels empowered and supported, and better able to function as an individual and as a member of the school community. Each Senior Campus house also includes a Dean usually a senior staff member , who oversees the academic development and also assists with the pastoral care of each student. Dilworth maintains a proud tradition of actively involving every student in school sport.
Every opportunity is provided for them to develop into fine young men, in an environment in which tradition, brotherhood and community are honoured and valued. Valuing Tradition We have a strong respect for tradition, sense of belonging and pride in the heritage and culture of the Dilworth legacy. Students undertake a year long, learning journey in all aspects of their campus life academic, outdoors, social and spiritual. These are staffed by a mix of overseas tutors and local tutors, who live and work in the boarding houses, assisting the boys day to day and also with their sports.
It is a very rewarding role for young men who get involved in the life of the School. Many tutors maintain a connection with the school and return to visit later in their lives. As such, you are regarded as a full staff member and work with the teaching staff as part of the team. Those boys who attend Dilworth from rural areas and outlying towns are able to remain at school, fully supervised, during the weekend.
Dilworth turns good boys into fine young men men whose lives have been transformed by the power of an excellent education. James Dilworth’s Will requires the Trustees to ensure that Dilworth students be given a Christian Education, grounded in the traditions of the Anglican Church. Advent reminds the Christian of the arrival of the person of Jesus Christ to our world

When the Will was read, it was the first public knowledge of the Founder’s intention to leave almost his entire fortune, to establish a school. The first meeting of the Dilworth Trust Board took place on 29th December 1894.
The business conducted included the election of Robert Hall as Chairman, the appointment of James Dilworth’s private secretary, Gerald O’Halloran Snr, as secretary to the Board and the opening of a Trust Board account at the Bank of New Zealand. It also required boys admitted to the DUI to be between the ages of 3 and 5, which would effectively have made it a nursery school. The School opened its doors to just eight small boys on 12th March 1906, and gradually more boys entered, until, at the end of the first year, the roll numbered 18 boys and one teacher, Mrs Marion Ashton Bruce. The other significant event of 1910 was the purchase of the Papatoetoe farm, where it was proposed to establish the permanent school.
They did, however, manage to go ahead with the development of a farm school at Papatoetoe in the area now known as Otara , which opened in 1916 under the somewhat ostentatious title of the Dilworth Ulster Institute School of Agriculture. When another original Trustee, Robert Hall, retired from the Board early in 1917, Professor Algernon Thomas was invited to become a Trustee, in his place. A distinguished academic, with an international reputation as a botanist, Professor Thomas had held a position on the board of Auckland Grammar School since 1899 and eventually became its chairman.
