Cullinane College
Cullinane College is an integrated, Co-Educational Secondary school in Wanganui, New Zealand for students in Year 9 to Year 13.

The college is named after: Sister Vincent Cullinane RSJ and Sister Cuthbert Cullinane RSJ (both important teachers at Sacred Heart College); Father John Cullinane SM (an important teacher at St Augustine's College); and Bishop Peter James Cullinane, first Bishop of Palmerston North (1980-2012).
