18 Tuesday January 16 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi NOR’WEST NEWS Christchurch Girls Last year our school was 140 years old and in that 140 year history we have never doubted what we stand for. We know what we are. From our beginnings in 1877 we have only ever been a purpose built school for girls. When our school first opened on that September day in 1877 who could have envisaged 140 years later: three site moves, a number of earthquakes, 13 principals and a fabulous new building? In that time we have seen the move from ink pens to ball points, from blackboards to whiteboards to laptops. It makes you wonder what the future holds in store and how can you prepare for what may or may not be? At Christchurch Girls’ High School we work hard to build capacity in our students so that they are able to embrace the future with confidence. Students strive to pursue personal excellence on the sporting field, in cultural activities, through community service and academically. They do so with energy and enthusiasm, supported by an experienced, professional and caring staff. We are traditional in aspects such as uniform, courtesy and the high expectations we have of our students but innovative in the wide range of opportunities we provide both inside and outside the classroom. Hence our vision: Embrace Tradition, Embrace Innovation, Embrace Excellence. Education takes us from darkness into light. Kia tu ki tenei taumata – o te Whai Ao – ki te Ao Marama Kia mohio hei whakatuwhera mou Nau mai, Haere mai. So stand at this threshold – Te Whai Ao – The World of Light and know that it is open for you. You are welcomed. Christchurch Girls’ High School Te Kura o Hine Waiora looks forward to welcoming you in 2018.

They nurture students’ classroom focus by contextualising their learning and sowing the seeds of positive ambition. Linwood College believes in a ‘pathwayed curriculum’. This means the school, students and families knowing: 1. Students’ prior learning and skills as they come into LC from our partner primary schools and building on these successes 2. How the learning at LC connects to what the students want to do when they leave school. “What are my post-school pathways and how does my time at LC help me achieve these pathways?” In this way learning is meaningful to the individual and strengths-based. Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the Hornby High School community. What an exciting year we have ahead of us in 2018. We will move into the first two of our new buildings around the middle of the year. Our new gymnasium offers a second full sized basketball court to complement the court in the existing Gymnasium. It will also contain a fitness and weights room (a new addition for students) and teaching spaces. Marian College welcomes all students and whānau to the new school year.

Enhancing the mana and dignity of the individual is at the heart of Linwood College. Our school’s Year 7-13 curriculum creates aspiration and community. There is age-appropriate educational and social continuity and multiple opportunities for leadership so students excel and develop independence. At our school all students can make their mark whether academic, cultural or sporting and set their direction for life after secondary school. An LC leaver is confident and well-prepared for the future. Our leavers continue to join thousands of former LC students who have achieved personal success both within New Zealand and overseas. The main building (the one you see from Waterloo Road) will contain specialist teaching spaces for technologies, visual arts and sciences. It will also include our learning commons, Whare, student cafe and wellness resources, staffroom, and administration. We all know of course that a school is much more than its buildings, and a huge amount of work has gone into adapting how we cause learning. The Manaiakalani pedagogy (Learn Create Share), and the use of digital devices (Chromebooks) is having a huge effect on student achievement, with achievement surpassing growth and improvement nationally by a significant margin. We ask all students to come to school equipped with a Chromebook, apart from your time, there is little better you can invest in your child’s education than the purchase of that Chromebook. Junior students are increasingly approaching their learning via real world contexts (whether it’s the arts or business, or project based learning designed to improve our community in real ways). This is contributing to improved engagement and improved learning. We are a very values based school, and our students repeatedly show that they have a heart for our values, for their community, and for what is right. What an amazing year we are going to have.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday January 16 2018 19 2018 edition Kiwi Christmas visits South New Brighton Primary Marian College Stress-Free Day 2017 at Marian College. South New Brighton Primary School children were delighted to see a Christmas Sleigh in their playground area on Wednesday morning. There was much excitement around a visit from Tony Simpson, the writer and director of the newly released movie ‘Kiwi Christmas’ and the sleigh from the movie. Tony visited the school to share the process of making a movie from developing the idea, writing the script, casting the actors and adding the special effects. The children were in awe listening to him and asked some fantastic questions about the journey of making the movie. The children from the Ruru and Kuaka teams then got to sit inside the sleigh that was used in the actual movie. Even Principal John Bockett got in on the action by sitting inside the sleigh and making it go faster than the speed of light by pressing the red button on the dashboard of the sleigh! The children had so much fun and loved enjoying the magic of a ‘Kiwi Christmas’. First day of School for 2018 Thursday, 1st February, 8.55am All students are to meet in the school hall.
