Seeking the highest for every individual with Christ as our guide
St Andrews School, Turi was founded by Peter and Jean Lavers (fondly referred to as Ma and Pa) in 1931. With an initial enrollment of 15 local children, ‘Turi’ has grown into one of the leading international schools in the region that caters to over 600 students.
Ma and Pa combined their skills to successfully set up and run the school with Mr Lavers mainly taking on administrative duties and Mrs Lavers focused on the academic and pastoral needs of the students.
The couple felt that their work was in direct obedience to God’s calling to build a Christian school hence the strong emphasis on christian love and care in the running of the school to date.
