St Thomas of Canterbury College, often referred to as STC, is a college for year 9 to 13 boys and offers a Catholic education to its students. It is located in Christchurch, New Zealand. The college is integrated into the state education system under an integration agreement which was first entered into by the Christian Brothers (as the proprietors of the college) and the Government of New Zealand on 11 November 1981 under Section 7 of the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act 1975. St Thomas of Canterbury College is located in the Christchurch suburb of Sockburn. In 2019 the Christian Brothers transferred the ownership of the college to the Bishop of Christchurch.
