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 />

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 />

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 />
