Christian Integrated Schools in
Christchurch working together
Working together for the good of students
and families has been a successful recipe
for Christian Integrated Schools in
Christchurch.
The Christian School Network has been
in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield
Christian School, Emmanuel Christian
School, Hillview Christian School and
Middleton Grange School decided in
2005 that there was much to be gained
by working together cooperatively.
They recognised opportunities to share
successful teaching practice, curriculum
development initiatives across a wide
spectrum of school operations as well as
cooperatively strengthening their special
Christian Character. They recognised that
their ability to serve students and families
was greatly enhanced by working together
in a close and trusting relationship.
The success of the network has seen
other schools wanting to join in. Early

Middleton Grange School was
established in 1964 with the aim of
providing a first rate general education
and biblically based teaching in the
Christian faith. We see learning not
as an end in itself but something that
happens alongside the development of
character and a desire to serve God by
serving others.
We look forward to seeing our young
people excelling in academic, sporting,
cultural and service activities with a
sense of personal achievement. We also
want them to identify the strengths,
skills, talents and abilities that God has
put within each one of them, not just
for their personal benefit, but for the
benefit of the communities that they
live in. Serving others with compassion
and kindness is part of the ‘DNA’ of
Middleton Grange School. We want our
young people to engage in the society
and culture that they live in, to be a
positive influence and to point others to
God by their example.
We appreciate the hard work that
staff and students put into producing
top academic results, but what we value
even more highly is wisdom, character,
integrity and a willingness to help and
encourage others.
This is summed up in our school
motto ‘Character, Excellence, Service for
the Glory of God.
