Jacobs House Booklet 2024

The Housemaster

I have been at College for more than a decade, holding several roles. I began as a boarding House tutor and spent five years in Flower’s House before a three-year term as Deputy Housemaster in Richards. I have been Jacobs Housemaster for five years. I have been a Physical Education and Health teacher for the past 10 years and enjoy working with the boys. In winter, I manage and coach U14 rugby and also coach athletics in summer, specifically long jump and triple jump. Outside of College I enjoy spending quality family time with my wife Kim and our son Franklin, catching up with friends, walking or running our dog around various tracks in Christchurch and keeping active.
