The Housemaster
I look forward to continuing with the Harper tradition of creating outstanding young men, as well as seeing how new students can enrich the House environment. Dr Neil de Joux, Housemaster Mobile: 027 268 5557 Email: ndejoux@christscollege.com
Although I am originally from Timaru, I have referred to Christchurch as home since 2006 when I moved here to attend the University of Canterbury. Eventually, after many years I completed my PhD in Applied Psychology, before moving to the UK to work at the University of Nottingham both as a Research Fellow in Engineering and as an Assistant Professor in Psychology. In 2018 my partner Rachel and I moved back to Christchurch. When I was retraining as a mathematics teacher in 2019 I had the privilege of working for a term in our mathematics department at College, and naturally jumped at the opportunity to move here full time at the start of 2020. At the beginning of 2022 I was excited to take on the role of Housemaster of Harper House. It is a role that I have loved since day one due to the varied nature of the job and the opportunity to form positive relationships with the boys.
