Campion College - Established 1974 - The college received its name from its patron saint, St Edmund Campion whose feast day is 1 December - The origins of the school lie in two former single-sex colleges which operated in Gisborne: Saint Edmund Campion College, founded by the Marist Brothers for boys, and St Mary's College, founded by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart for girls. In 1960, the Marist Brothers transferred the boys' school to the site presently occupied by Campion College - In 1974, the boys' and girls' schools were merged into one on the site of Edmund Campion College. In 1976, the administration as a co-educational College from Year 9-13 was set in place and the name changed to Campion College. In 1982, Campion College entered the State education system as an integrated school when an integration agreement under the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act 1975 was signed by the school's proprietor and the Minister of Education. - In 2005, following the addition of the Hato Maria block to the grounds of Campion, year 7 and 8 students from St Mary's Primary School joined the college.
