SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2018<br />
Welcome to Casebrook<br />
Intermediate School<br />
Cathedral Grammar<br />
The ideal preparation<br />
Cathedral Grammar is a pre-school<br />
and school with a rich 136 year history<br />
delivering high quality education in the<br />
centre of our city. It is a school with a<br />
strong, Anglican ethos and spiritual heart<br />
that uniquely maximises the benefits of coeducational<br />
and separate gender education<br />
in the one school environment. While the<br />
world has changed beyond the imagining<br />
of our pioneers, the forward-looking<br />
principles of Cathedral Grammar remain<br />
as relevant today as they have ever been:<br />
to provide an exceptional personalised<br />
education that empowers our pupils to lead<br />
successful and fulfilling lives.<br />
Our Board has set a future focussed<br />
strategy and we are currently in the<br />
exciting phase of developing plans to<br />
ensure we anchor a forwardlooking<br />
education within the<br />
illustrious history of the oldest<br />
established independent<br />
primary school in New<br />
Zealand. Our forwardthinking<br />
attitude is clearly<br />
displayed with our fantastic<br />
and unique new playground<br />
on top of the roof of our<br />
multi-award winning Junior<br />
School building. Pippin<br />
Wright-Stow of F3 Design<br />
has created an original and<br />
exciting structure to climb in<br />
and through, which reflects<br />
the shape and form of our<br />
majestic Southern Alps. This is a great<br />
addition to the existing slide off the same<br />
roof space.<br />
In this knowledge era, original thought<br />
is important to us here at Cathedral<br />
Grammar. This requires the ability to<br />
think beyond, to adapt, to change and to<br />
innovate. Our strong academic traditions<br />
are important to us, and so too is every<br />
pupil reaching their full potential, building<br />
their self-confidence and making friends<br />
for life. Our challenge is to find the perfect<br />
balance as we prepare our pupils for life.<br />
Every pupil. Every day.<br />
Come and see what the buzz is about and<br />
what we will provide your child and family.<br />
We look forward to hosting you at our<br />
Open day, or any time that best suits you.<br />
Year 7 & 8 students are a<br />
unique age group that we<br />
specialise in educating. Our<br />
staff and school resources<br />
are all geared for this stage<br />
of personal development<br />
and focus on providing as<br />
a diverse range of learning<br />
opportunities to create a wellrounded<br />
individual.<br />
Our learning environment<br />
is supported by a strong<br />
focus on our school values<br />
of Respect (Whakaute),<br />
Excellence (Panekiretanga)<br />
and Perseverance (Hiringa). Through<br />
these ‘REP’ values we develop within each<br />
student a sense of self worth to realise their<br />
importance as a member of our Casebrook<br />
community.<br />
Our school environment is one where<br />
students are safe and have the confidence<br />
to take risks with their learning. In<br />
this way the students at Casebrook are<br />
supported and encouraged to become selfmotived,<br />
independent learners.<br />
We value the partnership between home<br />
and school. Together we can create an<br />
environment where we foster feelings of<br />
pride and belonging. We are sure you will<br />
enjoy being a part of our community and<br />
I would welcome the opportunity to meet<br />
with you to discuss your child’s future at<br />
Casebrook.<br />
