Beyond Queenslea Drive
The Beyond Queenslea Drive Immersion Programme, offered to Year 10 students, gives boys an opportunity to go beyond Christ Church’s walls and immerse themselves in school environments in other parts of the world.
The programme, which grew out of a strategic consultation with parents in 2005, allows students to attend schools from between four weeks to a full term in the first half of Year 10. It is a reciprocal arrangement whereby boys from the participating immersion schools attend Christ Church, thus benefiting all students at the School.
Current immersion schools include Wellington College, King’s College, Merchiston Castle School, Tonbridge School, Brighton College and Dean Close School in the United Kingdom; Kearsney College, Bishop's Diocesan College and Michaelhouse in South Africa; St Christopher’s School and Belmont Hill School in the USA; King's College in New Zealand; and St Andrew’s College in Canada. There are also plans for the programme to expand into South-East Asia.
