18 Tuesday April 17 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi School open DayS Catholic Cathedral College - To live by faith Catholic Cathedral College is first and foremost a Catholic school and for 150 years Catholic children of Christchurch have been educated on this site. We aim to produce graduates who are confident, compassionate, connected citizens, willing to make a positive contribution to our society with a focus on faith, justice and equity. As the only co-ed Catholic College in Christchurch, with a vibrant mix of ethnicities, we offer excellent preparation for life. We have a strong focus on our bicultural heritage and all students from Year 7 to 9 learn Te Reo Maori. We encourage our students to strive for excellence and have had sustained excellent academic results over recent years for all students, including Maori and Pasifika students, across all three levels of NCEA. Our Vocational Pathways programme offers individualised programmes giving students access to a range of tertiary providers. If you are looking for a Catholic faith-based education, please visit us on our Open Evening and experience the special atmosphere and sense of family that is so evident. Cashmere High School – future ready The good thing about our unpredictable and changeable future is that it comes one day at a time – and humans have successfully navigated dramatic changes and shifts in periods of our history. Schools, like other businesses, are busy thinking and planning to best prepare for the complex modern and technologically focused future world. Cashmere is a school with clear direction in a time of uncertainty. Here at Cashmere High School we are future ready, thanks to our new property works, successful implementation of our BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programme, personalised learning pathways and consistently excellent educational outcomes. Mark Wilson, Principal We have just completed Stage 1, and are well into Stage 2, of our Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme. This will deliver modern vibrant facilities that provide good conditions (e.g. acoustics and temperature), are digitally connected (e.g. wifi), and allow for genuinely flexible learning (e.g. both traditional and innovative approaches). All our students use their own digital device (BYOD) to learn not only the content but also digital skills (e.g. cybersafey) to equip them for the modern world. WESTERN NEWS advertising feature Yet learning is not restricted to digital tools, with plenty of time for physical exercise and hands-on practical experiences. Our personalised learning includes offering broad curriculum choices and relevant support for both gifted and talented and those requiring learning support. Our consistently outstanding NCEA results open up personalised pathways for students – whether this involves moving onto higher tertiary studies (e.g. universities) or through into trades and apprenticeships. Our staff recognise and support students to find their own individual passions and future pathways. As a community state school we also offer our students a safe environment to socially mix with a wide range of students and develop the competencies to live and work in a diverse global society. We are proud of our mission statement that means we focus on “developing both the intellect and character of our students” – in order to craft well balanced young people confident in realising their potential in the modern world.
