St John's College is a state-integrated Catholic boys' secondary school in Hamilton, New Zealand with a school roll of 787 as of March 2016. The school was established by the Marist Order in 1961 from Marist School (now Marian Catholic School). The school crest features the eagle of St. John the Apostle, with the motto "Caritas Christi Urget Nos" strewn across the bottom, a Latin motto translating loosely into "Christ's love urges us on". The mission statement for the school is "Preparing Young Men For Life".
St John's College moved to its current Hillcrest Road location in October 1962.
