Nukutere College is a secondary school located in Awarua, Rarotonga, Cook Islands. "Nukutere" means "people on a journey, a reference to the pilgrim Church in the South Pacific context. [1] The college was opened in 1975 and has had Christian Brothers on its staff since the beginning of the 1976 school year. Students come mainly from Rarotonga, but provision is made for those from outer islands (and even from French Polynesia - not far distant) to stay with 'guardians'.[2]
The school's financial position was somewhat parlous until 2000 when hte Cook Island's Government began to pay 75% of teachers' salaries and running costs in all private and church schools.[3]
The Silver Jubilee of the College and the presence of the Christian Brothers was marked in 2000.[4]
