At Christ’s College, we get boys. We are New Zealand’s only independent school for boys from Years 9 to 13. We understand what makes boys tick. We enjoy their energy, humour, ideas, and zest for life. We celebrate boys and we teach in ways they learn best. We are committed to our mission – 'Each boy at his best' – as all aspire to reach their full potential.
"We have a clear vision at Christ’s College – to educate boys to be virtuous men who make a positive contribution to society."

Help shape the future of music at Christ's College
Annual Appeal 2026
Music is thriving at College. Every day, the Music Department is filled with boys learning, rehearsing, performing and making music together. However, with growing participation, our current spaces and resources are stretched to capacity.
By giving to the 2026 Annual Appeal, you will ensure more boys can experience all that music brings to College life – from the classroom and Chapel to the rehearsal room and beyond.
