Thriving on the East<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School – Ngā<br />
Tama o Ōruapaeroa is a school of 1250<br />
rangatahi that serves the eastern suburbs<br />
of Christchurch. It has a rich history,<br />
which continues at Ōruapaeroa. We have<br />
a purpose-built school with first-rate<br />
facilities designed to support the learning<br />
of boys. Although our current site is new,<br />
we still focus on the traditions, customs<br />
and values of a school that has proudly<br />
been part of the community since 1957.<br />
Our staff are expert in the learning needs<br />
and strengths of our ākonga. Teachers<br />
deliver high quality teaching and learning<br />
based on the New Zealand curriculum. The<br />
learning is challenging, engaging and fit for<br />
boys. It is directed by the teacher in a calm<br />
and ordered environment. Our kaupapa<br />
is on developing positive and strong<br />
relationships, with a goal of producing<br />
high levels of academic and personal<br />
achievement in academic, sporting,<br />
cultural and service endeavours.<br />
At Shirley Boys’ High School, boys are<br />
encouraged to participate in a vast array<br />
of sporting and cultural activities that are<br />
designed to prepare them for success at<br />
and beyond school. The desired outcome<br />
for our boys is that they enjoy school and<br />
find it a positive and rewarding experience.<br />
We support this with our core values of<br />
Whakaute -Respect, Whānau, Hononga -<br />
Belonging, Tuakiri - Character and Better<br />
than Before. These values contribute to<br />
making our school strong across all areas.<br />
Through living and demonstrating these<br />
values, our boys will continue to learn and<br />
grow, and will be positive role models,<br />
contributing citizens.<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School is committed<br />
to preparing rangatahi to succeed in<br />
their world by providing learning that is<br />
designed to enrich boys and encourage<br />
them to be Better than Before.<br />
Christian Integrated<br />
Schools in Christchurch<br />
Working together for the good<br />
of students and families has been a<br />
successful recipe for Christian Integrated<br />
Schools in Christchurch.<br />
The Christian Education Network<br />
has been in existence for over ten years.<br />
Aidanfield Christian School, Emmanuel<br />
Christian School, Hillview Christian<br />
School, and Middleton Grange School<br />
decided in 2005 that there was much to be<br />
gained by working together cooperatively.<br />
They recognised opportunities to share<br />
successful teaching practice, curriculum<br />
development initiatives across a wide<br />
spectrum of school operations as well as<br />
cooperatively strengthening their special<br />
Christian Character. They recognised that<br />
their ability to serve students and families<br />
was greatly enhanced by working together<br />
Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>13</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />
in a close and trusting relationship.<br />
The success of the network has seen<br />
other schools wanting to join in. Early<br />
in the piece Rangiora New Life School<br />
became part of the network. The schools<br />
joined together to support the genesis<br />
of Ashburton Christian School and also<br />
culminated in the start up of the brand<br />
new Rolleston Christian School in 2015.<br />
The schools have developed interlocking<br />
enrolment schools which assists in<br />
providing transparent pathways in<br />
Christian education from new entrant<br />
through to Year <strong>13</strong>.<br />
A further strength has been a<br />
cooperative engagement with the Ministry<br />
of Education who have been pivotal<br />
in assisting the network’s successful<br />
development.<br />
