John Sinclair Scholarship

Dr John Rentoul appointed Mr John Sinclair as Deputy Rector of St Andrew’s College in 1983. He was instrumental in putting the introduction of female students into the Senior College in 1991 into action and led the Senior College in 1991 and 1992, being responsible for curriculum, professional development and practical planning. 

By the time of his retirement, Mr Sinclair had spent 18 years restructuring processes, overseeing changes, organising overseas tours, dealing with everything from budgets to buildings. Little happened at the College during his tenure without some input from John Sinclair. 

The John Sinclair Scholarship is to be awarded to students joining St Andrew’s College in Year 11 or above, who might otherwise not be able to attend, or remain at the College, but who, in the Rector’s assessment, are highly motivated to make a positive academic, sporting or cultural contribution to the College.
