The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Thursday January 18 2018 31 school 2018 edition Bamford school Bamford School welcomed their new principal Shona Hewlett to the school in term 3, 2017. Shona brings with her a wealth of experience having successfully lead two previous schools to a 4-5 year return from ERO. Shona is looking forward to the exciting times ahead for Bamford School in 2018. Bamford is a small school with a family / whanau feel where everyone looks out for each other and the whole staff know all students and their families / whanau. Our staff work collaboratively to provide an education where strong values, high expectations and striving for excellence are at the heart of the curriculum. Our teaching and learning focuses on giving students real life experiences to raise achievement across all curriculum areas. There are many opportunities for our students to feel success in the arts, culture, sports, academics and leadership. We are a PB4L (Positive Behaviour for Learning) school which means we focus on rewarding positive behaviours. Our small class sizes enable us to focus on the individaul learning for all students. We look forwad to welcoming new enrolments for 2018. Junior GaTE Project : Community Action Back to The junior GaTE (Gifted and Talented) group at Mairehau High School has been working on a project looking at the needs of our community. One Year 9 student, Caley Gopperth, chose to focus on the increasing rate of the homeless in our city. She began by looking at the idea of putting together an emergency kit. From there she researched what would be required and began pricing up all of the items. She wrote to a number of companies asking for support and donations. We are very grateful to The Warehouse, K-Mart, Cookie Time, Warehouse Stationery and Ferrymead Dental for their support. Caley also fundraised making and selling packs of cheese rolls and Thai pumpkin soup to the staff. Caley thought it would be best to work alongside the City Mission. She was lucky enough to be shown around the new City Mission by Gray Crawford, the Social Services Manager. He spoke with her about the backgrounds and needs of their clients. Caley was told about the new women’s 12-bed overnight refuge that is about to open. From this discussion Caley was able to make the decision to focus the backpacks and items on the needs of these women. Caley and her teacher, Ms Marshall, will be delivering the bags to the City Mission next week, who will then ensure they get to the right women. This has been a very successful and rewarding project for Caley. • The only Catholic Co-educational College in Christchurch • Years 7-13 • Family Focused • Culturally Diverse • High Academic Achievement • Catholic Cathedral College prides itself on consistently high NCEA results over the past four years BAMFORD SCHOOL OUR VISION “Moving Forward in our children’s learning” We welcome back our existing families / whanau and our amazing Bamford students for the 2018 school year on February the 1st.
