All boys are bound by the school rules and each House publishes its own student guide, designed to help you settle in and understand House rules and expectations. Student leaders in each House include the Head of House and Year 13 students. These senior boys support the Housemaster in running interhouse events, mentor younger students, oversee House duties, and foster House spirit. College runs several interhouse competitions, and all students are encouraged to take part. There is always an atmosphere of friendly rivalry between Houses at these events. We encourage you to get involved in House activities. By becoming an active and enthusiastic member of your House, you will form some amazing friendships, gain the confidence to step out of your comfort zone and try different things, develop your sense of self and your character strengths, have opportunities to both lead and follow, and be recognised for your hard work and the contribution you make. Please refer to the College Directory at the back of this handbook to find the names and contact details of key House personnel, or visit the College Life page on our website to find out more about our Houses. Centre for Character & Leadership The Centre for Character & Leadership complements and enhances our academic programme. The opportunity for developing leadership and character is embedded in all
aspects of College life. The concept that we build our leadership capactiy through growth in character is clearly reflected in the journey of boys at Christ’s College as we look to help them become leaders of the future. The various character, leadership and service programmes are designed to create opportunities for the attributes of our College graduate profile to emerge. Essential in this is a disposition to serve the needs of others, to show good character and develop a strong foundation for leadership. The cornerstones of humility, relationships, courage and compassion are at the heart of the character and leadership development. Director of Character & Leadership, For more information about the Centre for Character & Leadership, go to the Character & Leadership page in the College Life section of our website. Student leaders By getting involved in the life of the school the boys will find many opportunities to develop leadership skills in different contexts. While not everyone can be Head Prefect, captain of a sports team or take a leading role in a school production, the idea of each boy aspiring to be and do his best, and leading by the nature of his actions means all boys can be leaders. and Service Matt Cortesi mcortesi@christscollege.com
