New Zealand Archives Christchurch lookup request

I was wondering whether anyone might be visiting the Christchurch repository of the New Zealand Archives in the near future, and would have the time to look up a file for me. Unfortunately I am living outside of New Zealand, and am unsure of when I am next likely to be in New Zealand, or indeed Christchurch.
My great-grandfather attended the Sumner Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in 1884/85, and a search of the New Zealand Archives catalogue shows that the Christchurch repository holds two files labelled 'Notes [names of pupils with notes]' covering the periods 1879-1915 and 1887-1906. I am assuming that he will be found in the first file given the years he attended the school. The file references are
https://collections.archives.govt.nz/en/web/arena/search#/entity/aims-archive/R16953738/notes-%5Bnames-of-pupils-with-notes%5D?q=sumner+deaf+dumb&source=aims-archive&sort=3
and

I will provide his name if anybody is visiting the repository and happy to take a look at the files for me.
Many thanks
Craig
