Mark Wilson began his tenure as Rector (Principal) of St Andrew’s College at the start of 2025, becoming the 11th Rector since the College was founded in 1917. With over 30 years in education, Mark has taught in eight schools across New Zealand, spanning independent, state, single sex and co-educational institutions.
Mark brings extensive leadership experience having served as a successful Principal for over 15 years across three complex and highly successful co-educational schools.
He has previously served on the national executive of SPANZ (Secondary School Principals Association of New Zealand), and was awarded the prestigious Woolf Fisher Fellowship in 2018, which allowed him to visit overseas schools and attend an educational leadership course at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education. These experiences have enabled Mark to develop strong professional relationships with many schools and friendships with Heads of leading schools both in New Zealand and internationally.
