About the College


Christ's College was established in 1850 and is currently New Zealand's only independent school for boys, catering for Years 9 to 13.


Located in Christchurch, Christ's College is blessed with expansive grounds adjacent to the Avon River, and Hagley Park.

The College has a proud Anglican heritage, with an emphasis on classical education, expansive offerings across cultural, sport, and co-curricular programmes, and a House system that provides the boys with a sense of belonging and purpose. Boarding has been at the heart of Christ's College for more than 160 years and is fundamental to its operation and mission; 'Each boy at his best'. The College's three Boarding Houses are located at the centre of the campus.

About the Role


This is a rare opportunity for an exceptional leader to build on and ensure the College continues to thrive as a compelling education and development environment for boys in New Zealand and internationally.


The Executive Principal will provide exceptional strategic and operational leadership, including executive accountability for marketing, finance, facilities, staff, and resources, as well as effective liaison with the College community and other stakeholders.

Astute decision-making will ensure that College continues to provide a pre-eminent, progressive, and aspirational education environment.

Skills and Experience


Given the Chief Executive nature of the role, broad strategic, commercial, and general management skills are essential, as are well-honed communication and influencing abilities, including experience of working with an active and engaged Board.

  • Proven experience of delivering educational excellence across academic, pastoral, sporting and cultural endeavours and the ability to innovate, initiate and manage change.
