10 Thursday April 15 2021 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Open Evening Wednesday 12 May 6pm - 8pm NOR’WEST NEWS SCHOOL OPEN DAYS Hornby High School There will be an opportunity to meet the staff and have a guided tour of our new school. Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, Respect. 180 Waterloo Road, Hornby Ph 03 349 5396 www.hornby.school.nz When choosing the right school for our tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’ we have when we visit, as much as by the programmes that schools have on offer. The world demands fewer people who can do repetitive tasks and more people who can think creatively and critically. That’s why our vision, our aspiration, as a school is to be ‘A centre of creative excellence’ in everything that we do, whether visual arts or chemistry, volleyball or music, management or curriculum organisation. In doing this we haven’t forgotten the importance of the strong relationships that we build with all of our students, and the importance of individualising learning pathways so that we come as close as we can to meeting every individual student’s needs. Hornby High School’s feeling is one of positive relationships that support learning. Students often comment that we feel like whānau, like family. Visitors without exception comment on the calm learning focussed environment that they see and feel when they visit our learning spaces. This all takes place within our amazing new facilities that are allowing us to develop a new curriculum crossing old subject boundaries and catering for individual needs, that support student passions, and help our students to grow their heart for their community. On top of that students always comment on the wide range of sporting and other activities that are on offer for them during their time at school. We emphasise our values, promoting the ethos of kindness, of manaaki. I personally invite you to come along and meet with our skilled staff, and the amazing young people who make Hornby High School such a wonderful place to be. Robin Sutton, Tumuaki
NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday April 15 2021 11 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.
