14 Tuesday March 21 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi NOR’WEST NEWS highlights Recent Successes Mr Holstein Welcome to Burnside High School for 2017 My aims this year are to: • Provide an environment where staff, students and their parents/caregivers feel connected, valued and respected so they enjoy their experience with Burnside High School • Work alongside the staff and students, to build on our strengths, and to enhance our reputation as a highly-regarded, successful and sought-after school. I want everyone at Burnside to feel that they are part of something bigger than themselves; and for the school to be a place that allows students and staff to thrive, be challenged, and become high performers. I want a culture where “excellence is not an act, but a habit” … a culture of high performance. Burnside High School offers a wide range of opportunities through quality learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. We aim to engage, challenge and support students to improve their all-round achievement and personal and interpersonal skills; all within a culture based on personal excellence and care for others. It is this culture that underpins our success. Our school motto - Recte sic dirige cursum - ‘Along this path direct your journey correctly’ is linked to the historical significance of our Te Herenga Ora, cabbage trees that stand so proudly on our grounds. They are a local landmark and have been used for centuries as a guiding point on the plains. I hope students feel guided through Burnside High School, that they will attain the qualifications they are capable of and that they need, and that they develop the personal qualities and confidence to choose the right pathways in life. Above all else - enjoy their “cabbage tree years”. I look forward to another successful year on so many fronts: in academic work, in cultural activities, in the arts, in sport, in leadership, and in service.
