It includes strategic aims and annual plans which: • reflect the goals and aspirations the community has for the school and its students for the next three to five years • outline how the school is implementing the government’s priorities as set out in the National Education Guidelines and the National Administration Guidelines • identify the key areas the board will focus on, both in the longer term and the coming year, to improve the progress and achievement of all students. In the words of the Education Act, Section 63: A school charter has effect as an undertaking by the board to the Minister to take all reasonable steps (not inconsistent with any enactment, or the general law of New Zealand) to ensure that - a) the school is managed, organised, conducted, and administered for the purposes set out in the school charter; and b) the school, and its students and community, achieve the aims and objectives set out in the school charter. The strategic plan, and thus each year’s annual plan, focus on what is most important to achieve the school’s vision or mission and the government’s priorities. SCHOOL PROFILE Rangiora High School, Te Kura Tuarua o Rangiora, is a state co-educational secondary school located in Rangiora, New Zealand. Established in 1881 by an act of parliament and opened in 1884, the school has a roll of 1724 students from years 9 to 13 as of 28 February 2020. On 28 February 2020 the school roll's gender composition was 47.3% male and 52.7% female, and its ethnic composition was 80.2% New Zealand European (Pākehā), 13% Māori, 1.6% Pacific and 5.2% other. The school has a socio-economic decile rating of 9. Rangiora High School operates an enrolment scheme to prevent overcrowding. The school's home zone, in which students residing are automatically entitled to be enrolled, covers much of the coastal half of the Waimakariri District and southern Hurunui District, extending north to Waipara, east to the Pacific Ocean, west to Cust, and south to the Waimakariri River. However, the zone excludes the towns of Kaiapoi, Woodend, Pegasus and Waikuku, which are instead served by Kaiapoi High School. Students residing outside the zone are sometimes accepted, as roll places allow in accordance with the enrolment scheme order of preference and secret ballot. As a state school, Rangiora High School follows The New Zealand Curriculum. Rangiora High School’s ‘Connected Curriculum’ includes a number of learning approaches: connecting the curriculum to create authentic learning contexts; connecting the teachers in a collaborative co-teaching model; connecting students within and across flexible learning spaces; and connecting students in collaborative and flexible models of learning. In Years 9 and 10 students are organised into house groupings. The learning areas involved in delivering ako are English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Year 9 students select six half-year elective subjects, which must include one Arts subject, one Technology subject and one Language subject (French, Japanese, and / or Te Reo Māori). Year 10 students select either two full-year electives, one full- year elective and two half-year electives, or four half-year electives. In Years 11 to 13, students complete the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). Levels 1, Rangiora High School Charter, Strategic and Annual Plan 2020 Page 3 2 and 3 of NCEA are usually completed in Years 11, 12 and 13 respectively, although students can choose subjects from different levels depending on their progress through the NCEA level system. In Year 11, students study one semester of both English and Mathematics and 10 half year semesters of other subjects. Students in Year 12 study 12 half year semesters of elective subjects. Students in Year 13 study five full-year elective subjects, with study for an additional four periods per week. STAR, Gateway and Trade Academies provide students with the opportunity to explore vocational pathways. Students have the opportunity to study through ARA, MITO, PITO as well as 3+2 programmes of learning. SECTION 1: RANGIORA HIGH SCHOOL STRATEGIC PLAN 2020 – 2024 A. STRATEGIC FOCUS 1 (a) Under the National Administration Guidelines (NAG2(a)), a Board is required to develop a strategic plan which documents how they are giving effect to the National Education Guidelines through their policies, plans and programmes, including those for curriculum, assessment and staff professional development. (b) The charter also assists the Board of Trustees to prioritise its aspirations for

  • Two Into One – Compiled by Jean D.Turvey
    Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 1 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 2 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Published by Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish 53 Fuller Street Kaiapoi Email - [email protected] ISBN 0-476-00222-2 ©Copyright Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish, February 2004 Printed by Wickliffe Print 482 Moorhouse Avenue Christchurch PREFACE This is a story of three parishes - one Methodist, one Presbyterian, and one Co- operating - worshiping and witnessing in Kaiapoi in three different centuries. It starts with pioneer settlers in a small village half a world away from their homes. It ends - at least this part of the story does - in a burgeoning satellite town. Letters and news originally took months to arrive. Now they are as instant as emails and television. However, through the dramatic changes of the last 150 years runs the common thread of faith. This is a story which needs to be read twice. The first time, read what Jean Turvey has written. In any history there are those people who stand out because of their leadership, strong personalities, or eccentricities. Ministers loom large, simply because they are involved in most aspects of parish life. Buildings feature, because they provide a focal point for congregational life. The second reading of this history is more difficult. You need to read between the lines, to focus on what is not written. The unrecorded history of these three parishes is just as vital as the narration of obvious events and personalities. It consists of people whose names are unknown, but who worshipped faithfully and gave life to these local churches.

We are well into the term and its routines. Last week at assembly we recognized the students who gained NCEA Level 1 and 2 with Excellence endorsements. It was a great example to younger students to see the students from their House who had aimed high, and achieved at the highest level. I wish them well as they build on this performance for this year. Excel- lence can look different for different people. So as long as the goal is to do your very best, then reaching that goal is your ‘excellence’. Next week’s Student Achievement Interview Day is an excellent op- portunity for all three sides of the learning triangle – student, teacher, family – to check they are all working together and accessing all support required so that each individual student at the end of the year can say, “I did my best, and am proud of myself”. This year our focus remains on improving student achievement, engaging students through relevant learning pathways and retaining students through to the end of Year 13. We have been pleased to see movement in some areas already. Two examples are the achievement of last year’s Year 11 Maori students in NCEA which is definitely trending upwards and the increased number of boys gaining NCEA at Excellence.

We are well underway for the school year and things are settling into a routine. In our first week we welcomed 353 Year 9s and over 40 students at other levels into the school, along with 43 international students from Austria, Chile, German and Japan. That is over 400 new people in our school and represents an exciting time for them as they transition into a new environment and search out opportunities for their learning and growth. I hope they are feeling a sense of belonging. Our school motto, Lux Cum Amore - Enlightenment with Friendship, is particularly relevant at this time. It was great to have two principals from our contributing primary schools to attend the mihi whakatau and ‘hand over’ the Year 9s to us. This occasion is the only time we gather together in a formal situation as a school. Year 13s have certainly stepped up to the plate and enjoyed their role as peer support leaders for the Year 9s and for the international students. There is no better way to develop skills than taking on these mentoring and support roles and I thank them for their input. Our six houses and their house leaders along with the Head Student team have already been away on a three day camp to the Boyle River.

The match was played in great spirits with both teams looking to attack all the time and this made for an entertaining game with some great tries scored. Green managed to get on top early but Gold did come back and scored some well-constructed tries with the final score being 36-12. The game was also used as a trial for the Under 15s and the squad for the Marlborough Boys College Exchange will picked after this week’s game. Thanks to Sara Sorenson for these photos. RHS Girls Tens The Girls Gold played Christchurch Girls High School, going down 36-17. Despite the score, it was a really even game, the difference being CGHS being better at flicking it out wide. Lots of room for improvement next time. RHS 2nd XV vs Hurunui A significant size difference, too many infringements and cold hands contributed to the 2nd XV’s first loss in the Combined Country U18 competition. In a game rescheduled to Tuesday evening, our boys battled valiantly up front but some poor first up tackling of the bigger lads meant Hurunui stretched out to an unachievable lead. All the opposition tries were strong forward efforts but there was no lack of effort by our boys to ‘muscle up’ as best they could.
