The Housemaster
Deputy Housemaster Neil Nicholson
I have been teaching at College since 2020 following a career change after working in various roles within academia at the University of Canterbury and the University of Nottingham. On starting at College, I found myself drawn to the pastoral care system and the way that it allows us to deliver positive outcomes for our students. In 2021, I stepped in as the Acting Housemaster for Julius House, before becoming the Housemaster for Harper House at the beginning of 2022. It is a role that I have loved since day one, due to the varied nature of the job and the opportunity it provides me to form close, positive working relationships with the boys. Each year brings new ideas, new challenges, and new vibrancy. I look forward to continuing with the Harper tradition of creating outstanding young men, as well as seeing the ways that new students can enrich the House environment.
