He also calls us to give ourselves and our life for the service of others as he did, in memory of him. Mr Paul Rodley, Director of Information and Communication Technology Services. He has been at Christ's College for the past 16 years, 14 of which have been involved in boarding. Being apart of a house where generations before you once lived is one of the greatest parts of this school. The emphasis was on a classical education, which included Greek and Latin, modern languages, mathematics, English, history and geography.
The many year groups within the Houses have always co operated to foster House spirit and to compete in sporting and cultural competitions. Initially they were wooden, and these provided homes for the staff and their families and the increasing number of boarders. The College Chapel has always been the focus of the school, and although it was founded by those who also founded the Anglican diocese of Christchurch, it has also never been exclusively Anglican in its acceptance of boys. College at this time taught boys as young as six, and each boy arrived with a different level of education.
Other research is also used within College in history classes, or shared in College publications such as In Black White or College. The Archives are always looking for, and ready to accept new material which has Christ’s College connections. In 2018 there will be places available for Year 9 entry for dayboys and boarders
Christ’s College was modelled on the public schools of England which many of the men in the Canterbury Association had themselves attended. The emphasis was on a classical education, which included Greek and Latin, modern languages, mathematics, English, history and geography.
Once in New Zealand, conditions for staff and boys were, at the beginning of 1851, exceedingly primitive. Initially boarders’ meals were provided by the wives of the staff members in whose Houses they boarded. They were named North Town and South Town, and boys were allocated to them depending on whether their homes were north or south of Gloucester Street. The many year groups within the Houses have always co operated to foster House spirit and to compete in sporting and cultural competitions.
Houses have always provided the basis for the pastoral care of all the boys at College. Boys who are not involved in teams use the time to have extra tuition or to gain skills in clubs as diverse as cooking, mountain biking and archery. Initially they were wooden, and these provided homes for the staff and their families and the increasing number of boarders. The College Chapel has always been the focus of the school, and although it was founded by those who also founded the Anglican diocese of Christchurch, it has also never been exclusively Anglican in its acceptance of boys.
The first Warden of the College was George Augustus Selwyn, the first and only Bishop of New Zealand. The one scholarship which has survived with its original name since that early period was founded by Maria Somes, second wife of Joseph Somes, one time director of the New Zealand Company. While some walked down the road to school, others rode their horses and later their bicycles. College at this time taught boys as young as six, and each boy arrived with a different level of education.
However, as the number of sports increased, it was no longer possible for boys to undertake the increased amount of logistical work, nor for all the sport to take place within the grounds. Above the Archivist’s computer are the words, Our job is to preserve the past and to record the present for the future. Other research is also used within College in history classes, or shared in College publications such as In Black White or College. The Archives are always looking for, and ready to accept new material which has Christ’s College connections.
