Rewi Alley Chinese School

Rewi Alley Chinese School

Rewi Alley Chinese School

A famous former Christchurch resident has provided the inspiration and the name for a successful link between the city and China. The Rewi Alley Chinese School was established in 1988 and runs popular and successful classes in Chinese language and culture.
The school is based in the grounds of Wharenui School and has a very close relationship with Wharenui. During the week, the children of Wharenui school receive 30 minutes teaching in Chinese language, customs and culture.
Wharenui has a sister school relationship with Lanzhou Experimental School, Gansu Province, in north-west China. This was the area of China where New Zealander Rewi Alley did most of his work. He worked and lived in China for 60 years, helping the people improve their standard of living. The city of Christchurch also has sister city status with the province of Gansu.
Rewi Alley's father, F. J. Alley, was the first principal of Wharenui School, when it opened in 1907. Rewi was also a pupil at the school. Wharenui school often plays host to delegations of visitors from China.

Classes in Chinese language are available at the school. Classes for beginner adults and for those who are more advanced are held on Tuesday evenings. Chinese language classes for children are held at the school on Saturday mornings. These are very popular, and attended by a large number of children.
