Your guide to Christ's College 2026 – International

About Christchurch Christchurch – or Ōtautahi in te reo Māori – is the largest city in New Zealands South Island. It is known for its English heritage buildings, vibrant contemporary lifestyle, cultural precinct, and stunning open spaces. Renowned for its gardens and parks, Christchurch is fast becoming the most popular place to live in New Zealand. Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens, and the Avon River/Ōtākaro are at the centre of city while the beautiful Southern Alps backdrop completes the scene. A sustainable and resilient urban centre, Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island, ensuring easy access to spectacular spaces, including the scenic landscape of Banks Peninsula, the surfing beaches of Sumner, and the superb nearby ski fields. It is also the starting point for the world-renowned TranzAlpine scenic train journey across the Southern Alps to the West Coast. Christchurch is one of the few global Antarctic gateway cities, with the International Antarctic Centre near the airport providing an interactive experience of life on the frozen continent. With a temperate climate, a thriving arts scene, a focus on innovation, and a strong community spirit, Christchurch is a leading cultural, economic, and tourism hub that celebrates its past but continues to build a flourishing future.
