Meet Our Staff

We encourage our teachers to build positive relationships with their students, to know the academic and social needs of their students, and to show that they care about the personal and collective successes of their students.

The staff of Christchurch Boys’ High School do have high expectations of the performance and character of all boys and understand their role in building meaningful relationships and acting as significant role models.
