Focus on NCEA

NCEA exams start in Term 4, with Level 2 English on November 10. The complete examination timetable can be found on the NZQA website.

Students are expected to be present at school during the first and second weeks of Term 4. Following this period, study leave will be granted to students who have demonstrated the ability to study and work effectively by themselves. Students who need to catch up and finish work will be required to stay at school where teachers will be available under the ordinary timetable. This process will occur through consultation with Mr. Naughton and there will be a note sent home to allow time away from school.

It is great to see students arriving with necessary costumes. If you are having trouble sourcing anything please touch base with your child’s teacher this week. In order to keep costs realistic, we have sourced props and costumes at the Hospice and Savemart.

Launch of School-Wide Values Programme

Last Friday the teachers of Y7 – 13 students donned school uniform and performed some skits illustrating and reminding us of our school’s values. After a good deal of consultation a couple of years ago, it was decided that a C.O.A.S.T.A.L. acronym (standing for Co-operation, Openness, Aroha, Sustainable living, Tolerance, Accountability and Leading our Learning) gave a meaningful value base to fulfilling the school’s vision.

There has been a groundswell of discussion for many years now about the need to affirm the values that were perhaps once ‘taken for granted’ and commonly agreed upon as the foundation of a person’s character and necessary for good citizenship.

As a common thread in all young people’s lives, in 2007 the Ministry of Education made it a social imperative for schools to “encourage, model and explore” the commonly held values or deeply held beliefs that un- derpin ‘the way we do things around here’. More re- cently it has encouraged the adoption of programmes aimed at developing ‘Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L)’.

Last year Years 1 – 6 introduced our Coastal Values programme. Now we will be able to have a school wide, consistent approach which is run by students, for students, and will help equip our students for life.
