10 Wednesday July 10 2019 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi SELWYN TIMES THOUGHT-PROVOKING: Rolleston College is holding conspiracy theory classes to discuss subjects such as the 9/11 terror attack and the moon landing. Rolleston College class to discuss conspiracy theories Rolleston College student Jesse Black reports on a new class at the school called Conspiracy AT THE beginning of semester two, Rolleston College introduced a new, modern and mind-bending class for their senior learners. Early on in the year, select junior learners and staff came together with an idea of having a conspiracy theory class. This class is just a more developed form of the junior class from 2018 – Proof. (Proof is based on crimes and trying to find evidence and proof). The Conspiracy class is about “diving deep” into a theory you are passionate about and want to research. Said principal Steve Saville: “It was designed to enable learners to have the chance to question what they read with a discerning eye. In the modern age of unlimited information, there is a need for young people to develop the ability to question what is fact and what is fiction. It mixes science and english curriculum.” All of the classes at Rolleston College are very different and SCHOOLS significant to the college itself. Mixing NCEA subjects together (science and english) means that learners have to enable and gain transferable skills which they can take from one subject to another. Doing so will develop authentic contexts where subjects are seen as ‘connected’, as they are in the real world and not compartmentalised. Mr Saville and his staff are wanting to bring the best out of every learner that is why the college mixes NCEA subjects and creates wide-spaced classrooms. Doing so is setting everyone up for reality after their schooling years. Rolleston College is promoting conspiracy theories because it gets everyone to create discussions with their peers, parents and teachers, meanwhile, they are learning how to communicate well, critically think and it gets them to think about how to persuade and pitch their side of the story. Conspiracy theories range from insane to well-fabricated stories people either believe or are just sitting on the fence about. The learners at Rolleston are able choose any conspiracy theory they would like – ie 9/11, Area 51 (aliens), the moon landing, Illuminati and even the flat earth theory. Overall, this class is very different to your usual one and has multiple ways of improving the learners at Rolleston College. It gets them to think and communicate with detail in every class.

We are looking for people in the Christchurch area who are willing to open up their home to *Matt. He needs a home that can provide him with support, care and unconditional love and guidance in a clear, fair and consistent way. Matt is looking for caregivers who enjoy outdoor activities and have a spacious yard. Matt is an enthusiastic, funny and curious 16-year-old boy who is looking for a long-term home. He has overcome many challenges in his life and has grown immensely from these experiences. He has a strong need for belonging which he has rarely had. He is kind, helpful, and eager to get on well with other people. He also loves outdoors, biking, Minecraft and animals. Matt has an amazing sense of humour, although requires support to express his feelings and needs. Matt is currently working on building positive relationships and will require ongoing support. We welcome carers who have the time, energy and the ability to provide a loving home. These are the most important things we look for in our foster carers. We will provide ongoing and intensive clinical and financial assistance as well as training to all our carers to ensure they always feel supported and enabled to do their best. Fostering a child in need is challenging but truly rewarding. As a carer, you’ll provide consistent and responsive support and attention to help them make sense of their world. If you are interested in discussing possibilities for Matt, please call Nicky on 03 365 0291 or 027 207 8212. *name and image changed for privacy.
