Rolleston District
Rolleston now has a genuine connection with Christchurch

New medical centres, daycare centres, cafes, shops and schools have been built recently to support Rolleston’s population spike. In 2012, there was one primary school; now there are seven schools, including a high school that opened in 2016.
