SERVICE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION Christ’s College Canterbury is an independent boys’ school in New Zealand with a commitment to work with each boy to inspire and encourage him to aspire to reach his full potential. Purpose Vision The school’s vision is to be a vibrant school community that educates boys to become men of virtuous character who make a positive contribution to society. Mission The mission of Christ’s College is: “ Each boy at his best ” A school for boys We understand and celebrate boys. While boys and young men can excel in many types of educational institutions, we embrace the fact boys learn differently to girls and we employ teaching strategies designed to address learning styles specific to boys. We understand the different and complex worlds of boys and young men and we focus on education that addresses not only how to excel in academics, but also how to grow into graduates of integrity and empathy. We strive to support each boy’s needs and aspirations. Our teachers encourage our students to grow and mature In addition to pursuing high academic achievement, we prioritise wellbeing, developing resilience and empathy, and helping to ensure that each boy achieves his best. Goals include building good character and helping each boy and young man make responsible choices and live an honourable life. We teach in ways that boys learn best Our teachers have made a conscious choice to teach boys. They enjoy boys' irreverent humour and draw energy from their natural exuberance. At College, our teachers take into consideration the interests and talents unique to boys when they prepare each lesson. We help boys discover and explore their full potential at their own developmental pace. We seek first to build good men Without the pressure of a co-ed environment, students in an all-boys school can explore the full range of their personalities and potential. Eschewing stereotypes, they discover they have many roles to play as a scholar, athlete, artist, musician and friend. We enable boys to foster lifelong friendships Working together in the classroom, on the playing field, or in a performance, students are united by a special bond of brotherhood. Christ's College graduates say the friendships they develop with their peers are among the most important benefits they carry with them from their time here.
