The school is named after John McGlashan, a significant Presbyterian lawyer, politician, public servant and educationalist, and was founded after his daughters' gift of the family home and estate in 1918 on the provision that a Presbyterian school was established for boys.[4] Originally established as a Presbyterian private school, John McGlashan College integrated into the state system in 1989.[5][dead link ]
