SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Nurturing and educating<br />
children for <strong>16</strong>8 years<br />
Is your child one of 15 or 50? Is their<br />
classroom a calm, productive learning<br />
space or a tension of noise and<br />
movement? How much teacher attention<br />
does your child really receive?<br />
St Michael’s has been nurturing<br />
and educating children for <strong>16</strong>8 years.<br />
Our small co-ed classes and specialist<br />
teachers ensure your child is an<br />
individual, well known by staff and<br />
fellow pupils alike. For at the heart of<br />
St Michael’s are the essential values of<br />
Christian faith and good citizenship:<br />
respect, integrity, faith, hope and love.<br />
St Michael’s is a prep school so<br />
your child is assured of a traditional<br />
foundation in English and Mathematics.<br />
This academic rigour then underpins our<br />
wider curriculums in Science, History,<br />
Geography and Spanish. IT literacy<br />
is taught, not assumed, and computer<br />
use is measured. We like teaching and<br />
talking to our pupils!<br />
Cultural and sports’ programmes<br />
develop your child’s foundation further,<br />
as creativity and problem-solving come<br />
in many forms. Specialist art and music<br />
classes are enjoyed weekly; and most<br />
pupils play at least one instrument.<br />
There are two choirs, and drama lessons.<br />
Our new Y7&8 Programme ranges<br />
from financial literacy to outdoor ed,<br />
leadership challenges to new sports, art<br />
and technologies.<br />

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