'Runt' movie fundraiser for Māia Health
Wednesday 16 October, 6.30pm
Join Christ’s College in supporting The Amazing Raise Adventure Race, funding the Māia Health Foundation’s new youth mental health outpatient facility, Kahurangi.
College is hosting a dedicated movie session for the College community to add to the fundraising pool as the school strives to win The Amazing Raise as the leading fundraiser. You can be part of The Amazing Raise by buying tickets to see Runt, a lovely film for all ages. Runt tells the tale of young Annie Shearer and her best friend, Runt, an adopted stray dog. In a mix of heart-warming and humorous scenes, the pair attempt to win the Agility Course Championship at the Krumpets Dog Show in London, in order to save the family’s drought-hit farm.
Please join us in raising funds for Māia Health’s wonderful youth facility by buying tickets to see Runt at the special College session at Hoyts EntX in Colombo Street.

Puffs – Christ's College & St Margaret's College Year 9 & 10 production
5–9 November, Old Boys Theatre
For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.
In this hilarious parody of a familiar story, three potential heroes are just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers. Their epic quest takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.
Be part of the magic by booking your seat now.
