From the Principal
As BM, one of the things I enjoy the most - alongside watching the growth and development of young women
and men who are our students - is meeting our alumni. Former students always seem to have wonderful stories
to tell about the CH life of their time, much of which - Shambles, Riverings and so on - is not so very different
from life today.
When alumni tell these stories, they usually also acknowledge the significant place their CH experience and,
especially their CH friendships, have had in their subsequent lives.
Joseph Conrad could well have been thinking about College House alumni when he wrote, “We wander in our
thousands over the face of the earth, the illustrious and the obscure, earning beyond the seas our fame, our
money, or only a crust of bread.”
This is so true of many of our alumni. It’s an important part of our culture that we do wander the world beyond
Aotearoa - these islands that we have been lucky to call home. For most of us though, there is strength and
comfort in belonging to communities of shared friends, shared values and memories. We believe that one
of the things we provide at CH is this type of community.
This year we have renewed our effort to provide opportunities for our alumni community to come together
in various places. Our events in London, Wellington and Auckland are reported in this magazine. Next year we
plan to have more, and in other centres. These are not only for alumni, but we also encourage past and present
parents and staff to join too. You are all members of our College House community - students, alumni, parents,
staff and former staff, and other friends.
By bringing you together from time to time, we hope that we remind you of CH values and memories. We
also hope by re-kindling your memories, we encourage you share your stories with others. And we hope we
encourage your recommendation of College House to future students, as you wander over the face of the earth.

Welcome
Gillian Smith, Assistant Principal
“I love my job at College House. We have a fantastic
group of students, and there’s massive talent and
capability in them all,” says our ‘new’ Assistant
Principal, Gillian Smith.
“What is so interesting is these students are such
a diverse bunch. They come from all sorts of
backgrounds – this year our students come from 87
different high schools – and regions, including two
who have attended school in Taiwan and Jakarta.
But what draws them into a cohesive group is that
they are all striving for academic success, they’re
motivated and ambitious, and they are also very
supportive of each other. This helps build a very real
sense of community, and it’s something that I think
is unique to College House.”
Gillian is responsible for our strong academic tutoring
and mentoring programmes, and overseeing the
pastoral care of our students with the six residential
tutors. She also works closely with the senior in Christchurch. Gillian lives in Fendalton with her

The praise of the loos came as result of each house
having a separate tower with its own water tank on top.
This was a practical solution to isolate noise and limit
the risk of flooded bathrooms affecting the rest of the
building. This was based on Sir Miles’s own student
experience at the University of Auckland’s O’Rorke Hall.
As a young houseman, Malcolm Walker was so smitten
by the College House environment that he ditched
science for architecture. Fifty years later he says in
HOME New Zealand:
The thing is, Miles got the essentials right - and then
he made it interesting. These buildings are robust and
socially planned - enduring relationships are formed -
and it’s impossible to not be part of the place. To design

As for form, Sir Miles had a clear understanding of CH’s
heritage. He was aware of the aspirations of College
House’s founders that it should emulate the Oxbridge
model of collegiate planning. The gold standard for
this model was set by New College, Oxford, which was
established in 1379 on the tradition of arranging a

14A Complete Vision for
College House
It is perhaps an architect’s conceit to not only plan and
create a building, but also to design its furniture and
fittings.
In doing so, however, an architect joins such august
company as Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles Rennie
Mackintosh and Arne Jacobsen – amongst others.
And so it is with Sir Miles Warren and the interior of
College House.
Famously, Warren and Mahoney, designed the College
House campus. Sir Miles also went on to design the
dining hall’s high table chairs (known as 'cheese slicers')
and table, the long tables and benches, and the light
fittings. As well, he designed the altar, candlesticks and
snuffers in the Chapel, its pews, kneelers and the lighting.
Sir Miles says he can’t remember getting a brief to design
the furniture. “The board just assumed that we would
proceed and design what was needed, and we just got on
with it. For us it was important that each element related
to each other – so the furniture needed to complement Dining hall showing ‘cheese slicer’ chairs at high table

From the Development Director
In this magazine we have an article celebrating the
historic places listing of College House that, with
slightly unintentional irony, refers to CH as a monastic
community. Monastic perhaps not, at least not in its
popularly understood sense but College House and its
students, staff, alumni, parents and friends certainly
form a community.
The community building begins even before fresh
students arrive for the start of each year. Returners
have already connected with them, and gatherings
of returners and freshers have occurred around the
country in the weeks leading up to term one. As
the year unfolds the sense of community develops
through shared experiences, rituals and traditions.
Interactions with alumni guests at formal dining
or other events through the year further open
connections with the CH community beyond the
white walls. Alumni are amused and reassured,

16Welcome Annie
Annie Paterson joined the team as Alumni &
Development Officer in February. Prior to this, Annie’s
career has been in the hospitality and tourism sector.
After studying for her LLB (Hons) at the University
of Edinburgh and a Masters Tourism Management
at Napier University, Edinburgh, Annie ran her own
catering business in Scotland and worked in European
ski resorts for many years. Keen for a change of scene,
Annie travelled to New Zealand for a six-month
internship at AUT. Twelve years later, she is still here!
As the former Tourism & Economic Development
Officer with Kaikoura District Council, Annie certainly
couldn’t have found a more beautiful place to settle in
New Zealand.
Now living in Christchurch, Annie is well-established
into CH life and is loving her new role.

Alumni Events
After a gap of some years we have begun a programme of alumni events.

Events organised by alumni themselves are also encouraged and the Alumni &
