The Kelston School for the Deaf was established in 1958. It changed its name to Kelston Deaf Education Centre in 1991 to better reflect the wide range of services it provided.[2] At the start of the third term of 2020 the school merged with the Van Asch Deaf Education Centre to form Ko Taku Reo, a national school for Deaf Education.
