Papanui High School -
Preparing students for
their future
School preparation
“Our aim is simple... to provide the
best education possible for every
student”
Giving students the opportunity
to study from an innovative and
broad curriculum is critical to
providing each student a pathway
that meets their individual needs.
We allow for a greater range
and flexibility in subject choice
including the utilization of the
secondary/tertiary interface.
This reinforces the philosophy
underpinning personalised
learning and is strongly supported
by understanding our students’
interests, passions, talents, and
ultimately their career aspirations.
We understand that for effective
learning to take place, it has
to be implemented in such a
way that students will be highly
engaged. The school does this
in a ‘forward thinking’ way by
creating learning environments
that allow our students to see
value in what they do and achieve.
Papanui “PRIDE” is what we
represent and we demonstrate
this by having young adults leave
our school as confident learners
who have gained the appropriate
qualifications and social skills
to become valued contributing
members of society.
All that we do here is reinforced
by positive relationships, an ethos
of caring, cultural responsiveness,
inclusion, and high expectations
– what we call “Our Full service
Model”. The school highly values
the connectedness of curricular
and co-curricular learning. We have
a philosophical understanding that
the holistic development of the
student is critical to their individual
success.
The school has worked hard to
consolidate recent initiatives to
ensure sustained and continuous
improvement. You are invited to
view our website, school charter,
ERO report, and/or contact the
school for more information.

TERM ONE BEGINS
Term one begins Monday 4th Feb, 9am
With Christmas and New Year’s
celebrations now a distant memory
and summer holidays drawing to
a close its time to start preparing
for the year ahead and getting your
kids organised for school.
If your little ones are starting a
new school you’II be getting them
measured
up for their new school uniform or
making a trip to the book shop to
stock their backpacks.
New timetables and routines are
best set in place in the couple of
weeks leading up introduce earlier
bedtimes and gradually wake the
kids earlier each morning to ease
them back into a healthy sleep
wake cycle.
Serving meals at home which
are in line with what the school
timetable dictates is also a good
way to get your kids back into the
rituals schools demand and helps
accustom the little ones adapt
before the school year begins.
Setting up a calendar in a central
location in the household will
make sure each family member is
on the same page when it comes
to carpooling and extracurricular
activities.
The new school year begins!
