Nau mai, haere mai, welcome Year 11 learners to Rolleston College Horoeka Haemata for 2026. 

We are excited to welcome back all returning learners and welcome our new learners. We hope that learners and their whānau have enjoyed a restful break over the summer and are feeling excited about the year ahead.

 

Year 11 learners will return to school on Monday, 2nd February 2026. Classes will start at midday. Full timetabled classes begin on Tuesday, 3rd February 2026. 
 

Year 11 Learners must report to the covered courts at 12pm, where they will be greeted by their whānau team. Look for the whānau coloured flags on the courts. 

  • Full stationery is not required on this day.
  • Charged devices and a pen are all that is required. 
  • We will have a short lunch break during the day; the canteen will not be open, so please bring kai from home. 
  • The school day will finish at 3:10pm. 

Regular Timings for the School Day 

Timings for the school day have changed for 2026, so we finish 10 minutes later each day. 

Mon, Tues, Thur, Fri are 8:50am - 3:10pm

Wed classes are 9:15am - 2:20pm. 

The late start allows for staff professional learning and the early finish allows for learners to take part in the School Sport Canterbury after-school competition.

Full timings for each day are available on our website www.rollestoncollege.nz
 

Timetable

Timetable queries, including gaps or requests to change courses, will be addressed on Monday, 2nd February, when learners return to school, before timetabled classes start. Timetables can be viewed on School Bridge, and please note that timetables are still subject to change.

Uniform

​​We’re excited to introduce a refreshed uniform that gives our learners more choice, enhanced comfort, and a stronger sense of identity, reflecting who we are as we step confidently into the future as a two-campus school. The tidy wearing of the Rolleston College Horoeka Haemata uniform is a compulsory aspect of school attendance. 2026 is a transitional year for the uniform as we move to a full refreshed uniform in 2027. 

Refreshed uniform items are available from the NZ Uniforms online shop or in-store at 455 Blenheim Road, Christchurch.

We encourage all uniform items to be clearly named so they can be easily returned if misplaced.

For more information about our uniform, visit our website.

Stationery

Stationery requirements can be found online on our OfficeMax MySchool website.

Learners living 4.8 kilometers or more from school may be eligible for school transport through Ministry of Education buses. Our bus co-ordinator returns to school on Monday, 26th January and can be reached at jenny.walker@rollestoncollege.nz.
