Around the school site we have work coming to a completion on the turf and the long-awaited roofing and water tightness projects getting under way. Although these projects may cause a little disruption to some of our routes around the buildings, we are looking forward to the short term disadvantage turning into long term benefits to the working environments that we all use. We have recently held capping and Excellence assemblies that once again celebrate our young men's successes in our core business, education. We really enjoyed the showcase of having so many of our students recognised at this, the highest level of NCEA success. Well done to all of those recognised, and a very clear and achievable aim for so many this year, the challenge to continually improve on the year before you is clearly laid down. We have welcomed a number of new staff to our growing school and these people have all been able to bring a wealth of experiences and ideas to the working groups of our hub-based classes in Years 9 and 10. These classes have further strengthened the belonging of the boys to a cooperative and team learning environment which they are enjoying the rewards of.

  • Background Education for Behaviour Change Is an Integral Part of Waste Management and Minimisation
    1 School Programme Background Education for behaviour change is an integral part of waste management and minimisation. There is a need for general knowledge and understanding within the community about resource efficiency and broad waste management issues. Schools are hubs in the community and the education children receive influences their world views and behaviour as adults. New Zealand’s schooling sector is lead by the governments Ministry of Education (Ministry). The Ministry shapes the direction for education agencies and providers to meet the Governments goals for education. The schools system is separated into four sectors – early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary education. There are a number of other agencies that also provide school-based education programmes, for example: Environment Southland; WasteNet Southland; the Heart Foundation; New Zealand Police; Road Safety Southland; Public Health South; Sports Southland, Paper 4 Trees and Department of Conservation. There are also non-school based education programmes available, for example Scouts New Zealand; GirlGuiding New Zealand and Duke of Edinburgh. The WasteNet Councils both collectively and individually have long provided information on solid waste and waste minimisation to schools. This has been through providing learning experiences (both in and outside the classroom), teaching resources (activities, fact sheets, lesson plans) and assistance to set up or improve their school recycling systems. The development of an overarching the Communication and Education Strategy - Waste is a Resource – has provided staff with direction and allowed for review of what services are provided to all Southland education facilities. Action 1.1 of the Southland Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2012-2018 relates to the provision of a schools programme.
