Thursday <strong>July</strong> <strong>27</strong> <strong>2023</strong> [Edition datE] 15 1 SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2022 Aidanfield Christian School Aidanfield Christian School is focused on an excellent standard of learning for all our pupils within a context of strong biblical values, family involvement and an emphasis on knowing all our pupils well. ‘Grow in Wisdom and Stature, Stand and Be Confident’ is our motto. We want our pupils to stand and be confident in the communities they will take their place in and believe that education is a lot more than just learning facts and figures, or training for employment. The truths of God’s word address all areas of life and impact on our response to each child, be it; spiritual, academic, physical, social or emotional. We believe that our school offers pupils the significant benefits of a local school with a strong community and family environment. You may have heard about us, come see for yourself, call or email to meet the Principal. St Michael’s Is your child on track for high school? Will their intermediate school option offer their best preparation? How will you know? At St Michael’s, we know, and why. Our Year 7 & 8 teachers are subject specialists. With almost 50% of our timetable committed to English and Maths, your child’s essential foundations for secondary school are guaranteed. In our classes of 10-20, we know your child. We aim for every Year 8 to graduate up to 18 months ahead of Year 9 expectations. This academic rigour underpins our wider curriculums in History, Geography, Science and Spanish. IT literacy is taught, not assumed, and computer use is measured. We like teaching and talking to our pupils! Specialist art and music classes are enjoyed weekly, and many pupils participate in individual itinerant lessons. Our several choirs, Stage Band and Orchestra perform regularly. Sporting and Inter-house events raise passions. Our senior programme, Parare, advances our Year 7 & 8 education outside the box, from financial literacy to new sports and outdoor ed; leadership challenges to civics and citizenship.
