SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
Christian Integrated Schools
Working together for the good
of students and families has been
a successful recipe for Christian
Integrated Schools in Christchurch.
The Christian School Network
has been in existence for over ten
years. Aidanfield Christian School,
Emmanuel Christian School, Hillview
Christian School and Middleton
Grange School decided in 2005 that
there was much to be gained by
working together cooperatively. They
recognised opportunities to share
successful teaching practice, curriculum
development initiatives across a wide
spectrum of school operations as well as
cooperatively strengthening their special
Christian Character. They recognised
that their ability to serve students
and families was greatly enhanced by
working together in a close and trusting
relationship.
The success of the network has seen
other schools wanting to join in. Early
in the piece Rangiora New Life School
became part of the network. The schools
joined together to support the genesis
of Ashburton Christian School and also
culminated in the start up of a brand
new school in Rolleston in 2015.
The schools have developed
interlocking enrolment schools which
assists in providing transparent pathways
in Christian education from new entrant
through to Year 13.
A further strength has been a
cooperative engagement with the
Ministry of Education who have
been pivotal in assisting the networks
successful development.
Papanui High School
Preparing students
for their future
“Our aim is simple... to provide the best
education possible for every student”
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 co-curricular 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.
