The Housemaster
Matt Thatcher, Housemaster Mobile: 027 408 7822 Email: mthatcher@christscollege.com
I am proud to be a part of Jacobs House and of the boys and staff within it. Together, we have built and continue to foster a culture that is inclusive, supportive, and centred around enjoyment and the confidence to try new things. We remain committed to providing opportunities for student leadership, involvement, and self- expression, allowing students to feel connected to something they have helped create in a positive and meaningful way. I am a member of the Physical Education and Health department, a role I have held for the past decade. This is an area I am passionate about, and I enjoy being part of the team while working with the boys to help them achieve personal improvement and success. In the summer, I coach athletics, specialising in long jump and triple jump. Outside of college, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife, Kim, and our two children, Franklin and Bonnie. I also like catching up with friends and family and staying active and healthy.
Deputy Housemaster/Mentor Charlotte de Roles I was born and raised in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. I completed my studies in English and History at the University of Canterbury, where my passion for teaching grew, leading me to pursue a Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching. I joined Christ’s College in 2022 as an English teacher. I have also taught History at College. I have managed football and tennis teams, and enjoy my involvement in outdoor programmes. When I am not reading, I stay active through running, as well as water and snow sports. Working alongside Matt Thatcher, I will uphold and strengthen the positive traditions of Jacobs House.
