Proposals for Future of Christchurch Schools $1 Billion over 10 years Total number of schools 215 Of which: • 173 schools are not impacted by closure or merger • Renovation work will commence immediately on 40 schools • Closure is proposed for 13 State Primary and Intermediate schools (2 of these schools have already volunteered to close) • Merger is proposed for 18 State Primary schools • New Year 1-13 school will be built to replace 3 Primary, 1 Intermediate and 1 Secondary school • Education provision for 3 Banks Peninsula schools will be consolidated under the umbrella of the Area School but remain on their existing sites • Geotechnical information is still being sought for three secondary and two primary schools. Until that information is available we cannot make any firm proposals about the future of those schools. In the interim we have put up some options for discussion around secondary provision. Explanation of categories: o Restore - this category groups together work that can be described as low-level change, such as earthquake repairs and major works that can be progressed quickly for a cluster of schools, or individual schools o Consolidate - this refers to a range of moderate-level changes needed to address issues being experienced by schools facing declining roll size due to population shifts and decisions on the integrity of buildings and land o Rejuvenate - is about implementing major change across a cluster of schools – this category provides the greatest opportunity for significant innovation. Description: Proposed that school will close and learners enrol at another school. Total of 13 primary and intermediate schools proposed to close.

  • Applications
    applications New Zealand Graduate School of Education is now welcoming applications for the next intake of our two teacher training programmes: • Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Primary) • Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Secondary). The next intake begins on 1 February 2021, and applications close on 19 November 2020. Our highly practical programmes are taught by face-to-face delivery, at our Centre and in schools in greater Christchurch. history of nzgse THE ORIGINS During 1995, three teacher educators together decided there was a need for a high quality alternative to the traditional teacher education programmes. Lois Chick, Kevin Knight and John Langley formed a company to become this new enterprise - New Zealand Graduate School of Education. The vision was that NZGSE would be an exemplar for other training providers: an organisation that would challenge by example the current practices in teacher education. NZGSE was committed from the beginning to preparing teachers who would be academically well qualified, very skilled practitioners, and prepared to demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism in schools. THE MODEL To achieve this goal NZGSE chose a training model that was the most effective known. This was a combination of extensive school-based experience coupled with close supervision by teacher educators. Other features were to be a flexible programme length and a strong emphasis on the skills of behaviour management. THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE NZGSE’s set-up phase extended from October 1995 to September 1996 during which time the many approval processes were completed. By the end of the development phase NZGSE had acquired premises and equipment, was registered as a private training establishment, was accredited to work in the field of teacher education and had a Diploma of Teaching programme recognised by NZQA and the then Teacher Registration Board.

  • GCSN VC Report – July 2012
    GCSN VC Report – July 2012 The process of identifying the level of damage to school buildings and infrastructure is ongoing at this time. The effect on teachers, students and curriculum and learning continues to cause issues across the city. The video conference facilities, utilising the GCSN Bridge funded by InternetNZ have enabled effective connected networked learning and collaboration for students as well as teachers. All of the twenty+ GCSN schools involved in this programme now their VC end points equipment installed and are working across the GCSN Bridge – including Avonside Girls High and Kaiapoi who currently have severely restricted Internet capability. This brings the total to 28 managed video conference units in the GCSN Bridge: GCSN - temporarily relocated to the Fendalton Library due to South Library closure for EQ repairs. Lincoln High School Marian College Riccarton High School Burnside High School - 2 units Hagley Community College Aranui High School Hornby High School Linwood College Christ's College St Margret's College Papanui High School Villa Maria College Rangi Ruru Girls School Southern Regional Health School Halswell Residential College Mairehau High School Hillmorton High School Catholic Cathedral College St Thomas of Canterbury Ilam School Shirley High School St Bedes College Cashmere High School Christchurch Girls High School Kaiapoi High School Avonside Girls High School The video conference facilities have been utilised over the GCSN Bridge to enabling effective connected networked learning and collaboration for students as well as teachers.
