24 Tuesday April 17 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi School open DayS Middle schooling makes a difference Having a curriculum and learning environment designed specifically for learners in the “middle years” (Years 7-10) is essential to ensure high levels of motivation and engagement in learning during these crucial years. At Hillmorton High School, having a consistent approach without a transition to a new school between Year 8 and 9, is proving to be positive in terms of accelerating student learning within the Middle School. We are currently working with our architects designing a new Middle School building with 22 “General Learning Areas”. These areas are flexible and can operate as single cell classrooms or be opened up to allow more adaptable learning spaces; the best of both worlds. This building will not disrupt learning as it is being built on the current tennis courts. This environment fits well with our broad Middle School curriculum which allows learners to explore and find both their strengths and passions. The advantage of combining the skills of specialist Year 7 and 8 teachers, with the secondary subject specialists gives our Middle School learners significant advantage. Additionally, our “Big Day Out” events and end of year student electives allow our young people to learn in a range of environments, often participating in social action such as planting, working with the elderly, along with exploring the city, the Art Gallery and the university. Our Middle School is ensuring real educational success and positive future prospects as students move into the Senior School for Years 11-13. OPEN NIGHT Thursday 24 May 6 - 8pm Tours any day by appointment Personal best, nothing less Whāia te iti kahurangi Hagley Community College Kia ora tātou. Welcome to Hagley’s Junior Graduating College! What’s important at Hagley, a school with a 160 year old history which makes it nearly as old as Christchurch itself? Our values matter. Those values are seen in the relationships our teachers build with each of our students. It’s how we treat our students that sets Hagley apart, valuing them as individuals – that is the Hagley way. What does that mean for our students? They feel that teachers are interested in them and care about their learning, they feel that they’re experiencing success – and much more.

We have a culture like no other. No one wears a uniform and everyone’s on a first name basis. But that’s just for starters. Students come to Hagley because they’re treated with respect, accepted for who they are as unique individuals. They know it’s cool to be different! We love our students aiming high and doing well. We believe there is no single stereotype for success. At Hagley being successful comes in many shapes and forms. We want you to feel excited about coming here. We look forward to you being part of Hagley’s 2019 Junior Graduating College! Mike Fowler - Principal SOUTHERN VIEW When asked what they most want for their children, the answer that comes back from parents with resounding consistency is happiness. One of the really important building blocks of happiness is strong relationships, and at Hornby High School we take great pride in the work that we do to build and maintain strong relationships throughout the school. We understand that these relationships have to be learning focussed, because it is your child’s learning that matters, and that these relationships have to be built within your own cultural context, because to each of us our culture grounds us in who we are. These are exciting times for Hornby High School as work on our school rebuild proceeds. We move into the first of our new buildings at the end of term 2 this year. These new buildings offer a mix of public and private spaces that match the learning needs of individual students. They have been designed to exploit what we call the ‘synergies ‘of different subject areas that is to allow those logical real world connections to be easily discovered and experienced by students. All of this is grounded in programmes that promote basic literacy and numeracy skills while also allowing students to develop the communication, creativity, thinking and collaborative skills that our new world demands. Join us as we work towards our aspiration to be “A centre of creative excellence He puna auaha”.
