18 Tuesday August 7 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2019 Small co-ed classes at St Michael’s Is your child one of 15 or 50? Is their classroom calm and productive or a disharmony of noise and movement? How much of their teacher’s attention does your child actually receive? At St Michael’s, our small co-ed classes and specialist teachers ensure your child is an individual, well known by staff and fellow pupils alike. For at the heart of St Michael’s are the essential values of Christian faith and good citizenship: respect, integrity, faith, hope and love. St Michael’s is a prep school so your child is assured of a traditional foundation in English and Mathematics. This academic rigour then underpins our wider curriculums in Science, History, Geography and Spanish. IT literacy is taught, not assumed, and computer use is measured. We like teaching and talking to our pupils! Cultural and sports’ programmes develop your child’s foundation further, as creativity and problem-solving come in many forms. Specialist art and music classes are enjoyed weekly; and most pupils play at least one instrument, whether piano or flute, bassoon or bongos. There are two choirs, and drama lessons. And our extended campus is spectacular: today, the Art Gallery; tomorrow, the Gardens; next week… St Michael’s has been nurturing and educating children for 167 years, and our pupils come from city-wide, arriving via the bus exchange only a block away or with parents who work in the thriving city centre. You and your child are warmly welcome to discover for yourselves our purposeful, wholehearted and inclusive prep school. Our Open Day is Wednesday 15 August or contact our registrar, Bec Hitchcock, for a personal tour: 03.379.9790; registrar@ saintmichaels.co.nz.

This is a place of ambition alongside preparation where students learn from the best right from the start. Every year level benefits from the expertise of our highcalibre specialist teachers across multiple subjects. And small class sizes means a lot of individual attention so every child’s strengths are identified and built on and support provided where and when needed. Our school structure is unique and designed to ensure students have the opportunity to make the most of their formative school years. We understand learning happens in different ways at different ages; our students work in both co-educational and single-sex learning environments at times when this best suits their learning styles. In Pre-School and the Junior School children learn in a coeducational environment. Students in Years 4 to 8 attend either our Boys’ or Girls’ School. Allowing students the best of both worlds, single sex classes offer the opportunity to target and deliver the curriculum in the most effective and interesting style possible, while social skills are developed by sharing mixed-environment break times, specialist classes and activities. Creativity and culture play a big role here with four choirs and hundreds of individual music, speech and drama lessons every week. We’re also a proud sporting school, providing students with the facilities and encouragement to try their hand at a range of sports and recreation activities. Ultimately, we are committed to providing a balance of tradition and rigour, while being curious and adventurous every day.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday August 7 2018 19 SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2019 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 this crucial stage of schooling. 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 open 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 allowing learners to explore and find both their strengths and passions. The advantage of combining the skills of Year 7 and 8 specialist teachers with the subject specialists of a high school gives our Middle School learners a huge 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. Providing our students with learning and personal growth opportunities At St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School, our mission is that we are “choosing to be an innovative, catholic learning community that inspires and empowers learners to succeed.” We are committed to inspiring and empowering students for success, through the implementation of innovative instructional practices, leveraging digital technology, ensuring equity of access for all. We offer a range of sporting and cultural, innovative and creative opportunities. Teaching and learning experiences are personalised for our students and value student voice. Within our new flexible learning spaces every child has the opportunity to learn through authentic contexts, solving real world problems. Together we continue to innovate within a Catholic learning environment where all learners are inspired to learn, create and share. We are creating learners who will not only be successful but will become people who will positively impact on their world.
