Supporting Christ’s College: Archibalds and Volvo Cars Christchurch Join Forces for 2025
Published May 2025 / By Alexandra Miles
We're delighted to announce a new partnership with Archibalds, Volvo Cars Christchurch, and Christ's College School. Continuing both Volvo Cars Christchurch's tradition of backing the pursuit of excellence, we are thrilled to be able to provide the school with the latest Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid, specifically for their Sports and Arts programmes.
The Volvo marque stands in line with Christ's College's commitment to sustainability and working towards a cleaner, greener future. Therefore, it makes an excellent statement within this partnership.
"We're really excited about the partnership with Archibalds and Volvo Cars Christchurch — it's a great fit with the values and direction of Christ's College Sport. It's more than just a sponsorship; it's a connection built on a commitment to excellence, innovation, and community. College, Archibalds, and Volvo are driven to succeed — and this partnership reflects that perfectly". - Benn McBrearty, Director of Sport.

The XC60 PHEV brings together the best of both worlds by being able to use a clean electric-only engine for shorter trips, with a range up to 67 km, but then also has the flexibility to switch into a petrol engine for longer trips. And with 468 litres of baggage capacity, it makes it just perfect for those home or away games.
We take immense pride at Volvo Cars Christchurch in our partnership with Christ's College, and we eagerly look forward to what the year 225 brings us, including the triumphs and growth within every student at the school.
We wish both the Sports and Arts departments the best of luck with all that they endeavour to accomplish.
