24 PEGASUS Tuesday POST January 17 2017 [Edition SOUTHERN datE] 35 VIEW 2017 edition Hornby High School We will start 2017 with a bang, quite literally, as we get set for the first demolitions that precede our rebuild. First to go are the administration block, and the library building, due to come down in March. Contractors then begin the build for the first part of the brand new Hornby High School with our Hauora, administration, learning commons and specialist learning spaces that cover sciences, creative arts, and technologies. The work that goes on inside our buildings is also changing with two ongoing developments. We are asking all students to have Chromebooks available during their school day. The evidence for their significant impact on learning is growing, all of this work underpinned with our learning methodology of ‘Learn Create Share’ (supported by the Manaiakalani Outreach Programme) which we share with our partnership schools in our Uru Manuka cluster. This pedagogy develops deeper learning and digital fluency, both essential in our modern era. We are also developing student and staff abilities to cause learning using project based learning. PBL is well known to improve student engagement and deeper learning, and following successful trials in 2016 is set to grow in use this year. This all forms a part of the backdrop to our journey towards the school’s exciting vision ‘A centre of creative excellence’. Make sure that you are a part of this exciting future focussed journey. Robin Sutton, Principal Riccarton’s Kokiri Lodge Experience Outdoor education is an integral and compulsory part of the Riccarton High School junior programme. We own our outdoor education centre, Kokiri Lodge, situated in Westland, near Lake Brunner. The Board of Governors bought the old Kokiri school building and some 5 acres of land in August 1973. Soon after the purchase a bunkroom was built and a dedicated education programme was developed with the emphasis on inter personal skills. The first class groups visited Kokiri in November 1974, 40 years ago. The Kokiri Experience fits in well with The Riccarton Way. Students get involved, work hard at the challenging tasks, show care for others, are tolerant, and always have to be part of team. A key factor in facing the difficulties of Kokiri is giving it their best shot. Each year all Year 9 and Year 10 students travel by train to the lodge with a teacher accompanying them on the train. A specialist Kokiri teacher and three instructors lead the specialist four day programme. The four instructors live at the Lodge for the camps. Senior students from Year 12 and Year 13 are involved in the programme as group leaders – four per camp. The Year 9 and 10 programmes are different, and complement each other in developing self-confidence, team work and leadership skills in an outdoor education context facilitated by the experienced instructors. Students enjoy the abseiling, orienteering, confidence and ropes courses. Year 10 students also experience an exciting overnight campout in tents in the bush. This two year programme, unique to Riccarton, is designed to provide a positive introduction to the outdoors and to develop links in the class and confidence in the students when they return to Christchurch. Students often refer to their time at Kokiri as a highlight of their school time and a truly memorable experience. Robin Sutton, Principal and some students of Hornby High.

36 SOUTHERN [Edition VIEW datE] Tuesday January PEGASUS 17 2017 POST 25 South New Brighton School’s Got Talent Villa Maria College 2017 edition Dance Crew, from left to right: Morgan Bailey, Ella Timbrell, Molly Chalmers and Chloe Timbrell. One of the great things about our school is that it is a full primary (Year 1-8). This means that our students can stay with the same group of friends and teachers until high school and get to take on a lot of areas of responsibility around the school. This year we had a large group of Year 8 Prefects who have buddied up with new entrants, visited our local kindergarten, led assemblies, arranged a staff vs. Year 8’s basketball tournament and worked in the office at lunchtimes to give our hardworking office staff a break. We also have so many talented students at SNBS! For the second year in a row, our school has held an SNBS’s Got Talent Show to showcase this talent. This is another one of the things that our Prefect group has helped to organise. 69 of our Year 5-8 students gave up their morning teas and lunchtimes to audition for their place in the Semi Finals. There were Solo and Group categories of Singing, Dance, Entertainment and Instrumental. All of this could not have happened without our dedicated teachers, who gave up their valuable time to judge and decide who would make it through to the finals. Leading into the final, the competition was fierce. The 8 finalists performed stunningly in front of the whole school at our Whanau Hui. It was an intensely difficult decision for our judges, Tom and Holly from Original Scripts Theatre School. They decided that the overall winner was ‘Dance Crew’, dancing to “It’s the Hard Knock Life” from the musical Annie, and they won a $10 subway voucher (a special thanks to Subway Ferrymead for donating these) and Miss Gill, our Deputy Principal and organiser of SNBS’s Got Talent, took them out for lunch. Every participant was awarded a certificate at our school Whanau Hui.
