Practical information
Clothing requirements Christ’s College boys wear a school uniform. Exchange students should bring their own school uniform with them. Health Centre facilities The Health Centre is run by trained nurses and serviced by the school’s medical practitioner. All special medication requirements and medical prescriptions should be detailed on the exchange enrolment form. Insurance All incoming exchange students are required to have adequate travel insurance cover. Spending money Because it is such a personal matter, it is difficult to provide guidelines for the amount of spending money which exchange students should bring with them. A debit card is the best way to manage funds – allowing parents to monitor/top up as required. Internet access Christ’s College offers all boys access to the internet. The use of the internet is a privilege and may be revoked if abused. Boys are also able to use private laptops on the College network once their use has been approved by Digital Services.
Christ’s College is an all-boys day and boarding school in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our setting is known throughout New Zealand for its unique mix of convenience and beauty. We are in the centre of Christchurch, with its art galleries, theatres, museums, concert halls, and sports venues, while surrounded by the Botanic Gardens and the open spaces of Hagley Park. How to get here Christchurch is New Zealand’s third-largest city and has an international airport with direct flights from both southern and northern hemisphere countries. Connecting flights through Auckland are another option Climate Christ’s College is located near the middle of the eastern coast of the South Island of New Zealand and enjoys a very favourable climate. Summers are mild but warm, while winters are often frosty in the mornings with sunny days to follow. A warm, waterproof jacket is advisable in the winter terms. Accommodation for exchange students Christ’s College has both day and boarding students. Exchange students are accommodated in one of three boarding Houses or with a host family from the College community. All exchange students will be allocated to the Pastoral House of their host student. The relevant Housemaster will then take responsibility for the pastoral and academic care of the exchange student while they are at College.
