Kosuke Hashimoto Japan Flower’s House
Every year, a number of College boys are awarded prestigious university scholarships, and more than 90% of leaving students will pursue tertiary education, either in New Zealand or overseas. Process for applying to an American university United States universities require SATs or equivalent. The SATs can be sat in New Zealand. Every year, a number of College students gain results worthy of entry to US universities. Process for applying to university in the United Kingdom It is widely accepted that top students at College are as good as top students anywhere in the world. Students must register with Universities and Colleges Admission Services (UCAS), which then contacts the school for a testimonial and a judgement about the student’s academic ability. This is where the school comments on the student in the context of his year group. The student may also be interviewed by his chosen UK university.
Kosuke Hashimoto has not been home for more than two and a half years because of Covid-19 border closures. However, his strong connections in Flower’s House mean he has an equally strong brotherhood of friends. “They really are my family. I’ve had some wonderful experiences with my friends and their families. Everyone is really nice to me and they offer to have me to stay. I’m very lucky and I’ve been able to experience normal New Zealand family life.”
Adam Zhu China Richards House
It was Christ’s College’s academic culture, plus its diversity and sport, that persuaded Adam Zhu it was the school for him. “College is focused on education, and that is incredibly important. It has a very high percentage of students going on to university. It’s a culture that means people are trying to work hard to succeed.”
Luke Kim South Korea Flower’s House
“My first two and a half years at College were spent as a boarder, but now that my mother and sister are living in Christchurch, I am a dayboy. I miss the well-balanced meals in the Dining Hall. I’ve got to say that I do like steaks and roasts, and the desserts are really good.”
Kevin Chiang Taiwan Flower’s House
The western culture he experiences at Christ’s College could not be more different from his homeland, but Kevin Chiang is thriving. He is the Prefect in charge of Internationalism, the perfect young man to lead the school in developing a global perspective. “I feel like there is every single opportunity at College. Even though things might overwhelm you at first, give it a go, try it.”
