14 Tuesday January 14 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz SOUTHERN VIEW 2020 edition Papanui High School - Preparing students for their future Giving students the opportunity to study from an innovative and broad curriculum is critical to providing each student a pathway that meets their individual needs. We allow for a greater range and flexibility in subject choice including the utilization of the secondary/ tertiary interface. This reinforces the philosophy underpinning personalised learning and is strongly supported by understanding our students’ interests, passions, talents, and ultimately their career aspirations. We understand that for effective learning to take place, it has to be implemented in such a way that students will be highly engaged. The school does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by creating learning environments that allow our students to see value in what they do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what we represent and we demonstrate this by having young adults leave our school as confident learners who have gained the appropriate qualifications and social skills to become valued contributing members of society. All that we do here is reinforced by positive relationships, an ethos of caring, cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations – what we call “Our Full service Model”. The school highly values the connectedness of curricular and cocurricular learning. We have a philosophical understanding that the holistic development of the student is critical to their individual success. The school has worked hard to consolidate recent initiatives to ensure sustained and continuous improvement. You are invited to view our website, school charter, ERO report, and/or contact the school for more information. We look forward to welcoming all prospective students and their families/ whānau. Hornby High School Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the Hornby High School community, and a special welcome to those of you who are new to our community. We begin 2020 eager to set our new ‘normal’ as we begin our first full year in our wonderful new buildings. The impact of those buildings on our young people and staff alike has been enormous. Our experience through the end of 2019 was that learning was calm, settled, and focused. One visitor to our kura in late 2019 described the ‘vibe’ as very much like that feeling you get when you arrive home after a hard day at work: a place where you can just ‘be’, a place where you can settle to what you need to do with purpose and clarity. What a New school coming Plans for a new Marian College at Papanui in 2023 are advancing, with a concept design expected in coming months. Marian College Principal Mary-Lou Davidson says students, staff and the school community have helped provide feedback and ideas, which has informed design. “Our new school and grounds will reflect and celebrate our Catholic special character, cultural narrative, values, heritage and story. wonderful description from a visitor, and a description that equally matches our own experiences. We also begin the year with some exciting changes to our junior curriculum as we make learning more connected to the real world, more connected across subject areas, and with a new pastoral system that will evolve over the next five years giving even greater support to our learners. Coming on the back of continually improving achievement results across the school, these are exciting times.
