SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2022<br />

Welcome to<br />

Casebrook<br />

Intermediate<br />

Year 7 & 8 students are a unique age<br />

group that we specialise in educating.<br />

Our staff and school resources are<br />

all geared for this stage of personal<br />

development and focus on providing a<br />

diverse range of learning opportunities to<br />

create a rounded and engaged individual.<br />

Our learning environment is supported<br />

by a strong focus on our school values<br />

of Respect (Whakaute), Excellence<br />

(Panekiretanga) and Perseverance<br />

(Hiringa). Through these ‘REP’ values<br />

we develop within each student a sense<br />

of self worth to realise their importance<br />

as a member of our Casebrook<br />

community.<br />

Our school environment is one where<br />

students are safe and have the confidence<br />

to take risks with their learning. In<br />

this way the students at Casebrook are<br />

supported and encouraged to become<br />

self-motived, independent learners.<br />

We value the partnership between<br />

home and school. Together we can<br />

create an environment where we foster<br />

feelings of pride and belonging. We are<br />

sure you will enjoy being a part of our<br />

Celebrating 170<br />

years at St Michael’s<br />

This year is an exciting one for St<br />

Michael’s. As the country’s oldest<br />

independent preparatory school, we are<br />

celebrating our 170th year nurturing and<br />

educating the children of Christchurch,<br />

at the heart of our city.<br />

And as the heart of our city has<br />

bounced back, so too St Michael’s, with<br />

a 69% roll increase since the post-quake<br />

low in 2017. Such is the interest in the<br />

school, that the Board has recently<br />

announced two new classes: a new<br />

entrant Year 0 for Term 3; and a second<br />

Year 7 for January.<br />

A legacy of 170 years is not built on<br />

fresh air. It’s built on hard work and solid<br />

expectations.<br />

As once again NZ’s Maths standards<br />

come under fire – and this time from<br />

our own Education Review Office who<br />

report ‘slippage in expectations’ and<br />

several years of ‘relative deterioration’ in<br />

pupil performance* – today’s St Michael’s<br />

families enjoy the reassurance of our<br />

legacy of traditional foundations and<br />

academic rigour.<br />

We teach reading and handwriting,<br />

spelling and grammar, and good oldfashioned<br />

Maths. This academic rigour<br />

then underpins our wider curriculums<br />

in Science, History, Geography and<br />

languages.<br />

Our small classes offer your child<br />

outstanding specialist and individual<br />

attention, and a sense of identity and<br />

As a church school, our musical legacy<br />

And talking of playing, have you seen<br />

extended campus?<br />

You and your child are warmly<br />

welcome to discover our purposeful,<br />

wholehearted and inclusive prep school.<br />
