Outstanding record of academic,<br />

cultural and sporting success<br />

Burnside High School is pleased to invite members of<br />

the community to our Open Evening on Tuesday 14<br />

May <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

We are well aware of the significance parents place<br />

on the transition from Primary or Intermediate to<br />

Secondary School and how important it is to make<br />

the right decision about this transition.<br />

Burnside High School is a large secondary school,<br />

a centre for academic excellence, with an outstanding<br />

record of academic, cultural and sporting success.<br />

<strong>The</strong> size of the school ensures that there is an exceptionally<br />

wide range of subjects and extra-curricular<br />

opportunities available. This provides flexibility for<br />

students to follow a pathway suited to their ability,<br />

interests and skills.<br />

<strong>The</strong> unique structure of the school retains all<br />

the benefits of a large school but with students in<br />

Divisions of approximately 700. This ensures that<br />

students are known on an individual basis and are<br />

supported and mentored by senior students, Form<br />

Teachers, Deans and Guidance Counsellors. This<br />

strong pastoral and guidance focus helps Burnside<br />

High School students strive to excel and develop into<br />

well rounded New Zealanders.<br />

Students achieve well above the level of similar<br />

schools in the attainment of NCEA certificates and<br />

Kia ora tātou.<br />

Welcome to Hagley’s<br />

Junior College!<br />

What’s important<br />

at Hagley, a school<br />

with a 160 year old<br />

history which makes<br />

it nearly as old as<br />

Christchurch itself?<br />

Our values matter.<br />

Those values are seen<br />

in the relationships<br />

our teachers build<br />

with each of our<br />

students. It’s how<br />

we treat our students<br />

that sets Hagley<br />

apart, valuing them as individuals – that is the Hagley way. What<br />

does that mean for our students? <strong>The</strong>y feel that teachers are<br />

interested in them and care about their learning, they feel that<br />

they’re experiencing success – and much more.<br />

We’re often asked, what makes Hagley different? We have a<br />

culture like no other.<br />

No one wears a uniform and everyone’s on a first name basis.<br />

But that’s just for starters. Students come to Hagley because<br />

they’re treated with respect, accepted for who they are as unique<br />

individuals. <strong>The</strong>y know it’s cool to be different!<br />

We love our students aiming high and doing well. We believe<br />

there is no single stereotype for success. At Hagley being<br />

successful comes in many shapes and forms.<br />

We want you to feel excited about coming here. We look<br />

forward to you being part of Hagley’s 2020 Junior College!<br />
