Papanui builds culture of success
Giving students the opportunity to study from an innovative and broad curriculum is critical to providing each student a pathway that meets their individual needs.
Papanui High School allows for this with a greater range and flexibility of subject choice, including the utilisation of the secondary/tertiary interface.
This reinforces the philosophy underpinning personalised learning and is strongly supported by understanding students’ interests, passions, talents and ultimately their career aspirations.
The school understands that for effective learning to take place, it has to be implemented in such a way that students will be highly engaged.
Papanui High does this in a forward-thinking way by creating learning environments that allow students to see value in what they do and achieve.
Papanui ‘‘PRIDE’’ is what the school represents, and this is demonstrated by young adults who leave as confident learners with the appropriate qualifications and social skills to become valued, contributing members of society.
All that the school does is reinforced by positive relationships, an ethos of caring, cultural responsiveness, inclusion and high expectations – what is known as their ‘‘Full Service Model’’. The school highly values the connectedness of curricular and co-curricular learning.
There is a philosophical understanding that the holistic development of the student is critical to their individual success.
Papanui High has worked hard to consolidate recent initiatives to ensure sustained and continuous improvement.
Interested parties are invited to view the school’s website, its charter, ERO report, and/or make contact for more information.
Staff are looking forward to welcoming all prospective students and their families/whanau on their visit to the school.
❚ Papanui High School’s open night is being held on Tuesday, May 25 from 6.30pm. Enrolments are due by Friday, July 30.
