Catholic Cathedral<br />

College -<br />

To live by faith<br />

Catholic Cathedral College is first and<br />

foremost a Catholic school and for 150 years<br />

Catholic children of Christchurch have been<br />

educated on this site. We aim to produce<br />

graduates who are confident, compassionate,<br />

connected citizens, willing to make a positive<br />

contribution to our society with a focus on<br />

faith, justice and equity.<br />

As the only co-ed Catholic College in<br />

Christchurch, with a vibrant mix of ethnicities,<br />

we offer excellent preparation for life.<br />

We have a strong focus on our bicultural<br />

heritage and all students from Year 7 to 9<br />

learn Te Reo Maori.<br />

We encourage our students to strive for<br />

excellence and have had sustained excellent<br />

academic results over recent years for all students,<br />

including Maori and Pasifika students,<br />

across all three levels of NCEA.<br />

Our Vocational Pathways programme<br />

offers individualised programmes giving students<br />

access to a range of tertiary providers.<br />

If you are looking for a Catholic faith-based<br />

education, please visit us on our Open Evening<br />

and experience the special atmosphere<br />

and sense of family that is so evident.<br />

Cashmere High<br />

School – future ready<br />

The good thing about our unpredictable<br />

and changeable future is that it comes one<br />

day at a time – and humans have successfully<br />

navigated dramatic changes and shifts<br />

in periods of our history. Schools, like other<br />

businesses, are busy thinking and planning<br />

to best prepare for the complex modern<br />

and technologically focused future world.<br />

Cashmere is a school with clear direction in<br />

a time of uncertainty.<br />

Here at Cashmere High School<br />

we are future ready, thanks to<br />

our new property works,<br />

successful implementation<br />

of our BYOD (Bring Your<br />

Own Device) programme,<br />

personalised learning<br />

pathways and consistently<br />

excellent educational outcomes.<br />

Mark Wilson, Principal<br />

We have just completed Stage<br />

1, and are well into Stage 2, of our<br />

Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme.<br />

This will deliver modern vibrant facilities<br />

that provide good conditions (e.g. acoustics<br />

and temperature), are digitally connected<br />

(e.g. wifi), and allow for genuinely flexible<br />

learning (e.g. both traditional and innovative<br />

approaches). All our students use their own<br />

digital device (BYOD) to learn not only the<br />

content but also digital skills (e.g. cybersafey)<br />

to equip them for the modern world.<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

Yet learning is not restricted to digital tools,<br />

with plenty of time for physical exercise and<br />

hands-on practical experiences. Our personalised<br />

learning includes offering broad<br />

curriculum choices and relevant support for<br />

both gifted and talented and those requiring<br />

learning support.<br />

Our consistently outstanding NCEA results<br />

open up personalised pathways for students<br />

– whether this involves moving<br />

onto higher tertiary studies<br />

(e.g. universities) or through<br />

into trades and apprenticeships.<br />

Our staff recognise<br />

and support students to<br />

find their own individual<br />

passions and future pathways.<br />

As a community state school<br />

we also offer our students a safe environment<br />

to socially mix with a wide range<br />

of students and develop the competencies<br />

to live and work in a diverse global society.<br />

We are proud of our mission statement that<br />

means we focus on “developing both the<br />

intellect and character of our students” – in<br />

order to craft well balanced young people<br />

confident in realising their potential in the<br />

modern world.<br />
