The Housemaster
My commitment to student life extends beyond the classroom. I have established polo as a sport at College and coached and managed hockey teams. I am also involved in ski racing and tennis at College. My husband, Jason, is a builder and we have two daughters, Charlotte and Olivia. Monique Ellis-Martin, Housemaster Mobile: +64 21 243 8327 Email: mellismartin@christscollege.com
I am a dedicated educator and leader with a passion for design and student mentorship. After graduating from Ara with a Bachelor of Design majoring in Spatial Design, I moved to London, spending four years working in the development departments of St George Homes and Laing Homes. On returning to New Zealand, I completed a Diploma in Teaching and Learning from the University of Canterbury. In 2004, I began teaching part-time at College, focusing on Design & Visual Communications. The following year, I transitioned to a full-time teaching role. Throughout my career, I have also taught photography and junior hard materials. At present, I am the Head of Design & Digital Technologies at College. I have been an integral member of the Flower’s House community, initially as a mentor for two years before being appointed Deputy Housemaster several years ago. In 2024, I was also elected to the New Zealand Boarding Schools’ Association executive team.
