Information for Staff

1. Thank you again for all the effort and support that teachers provided to students sitting Scholarship in 2017. It was great to see Sophie Marris' name appear in the Outstanding Scholars list on NZQA, representing Christchurch Girls' High School/ Te Kura O Hine Waiora. See the NZQA website for the list.

2. Late Start Information: The first late start for the year is on Thursday 22 Feb, period 1. An email has been sent home to parents with details of the full list of dates for the year. A reminder that school will start at 9.50 with period 2.

The first late start, relates to the change in the role of the form teacher and Ako time. This means sessions for staff will be divided into year levels and facilitated by the year level Dean.

Year 9 and 10 Form Teachers - Staffroom

Year 11 Form Teachers - S4

Year 12 Form Teachers - S3

Year 13 Form Teachers - S2.

If you are not a Form teacher, you have a choice of joining a group, as you may be picking up a year 9 group in 2019 or there will be an eLearning strand. 

This session will be taken by Liz McDowell and will be around tips and tricks with Windows 10 and the apps found on the dashboard. This is an extension of the Windows 10 training from earlier in the year. This will be held in S1 from 8.30.

3. Registrations are now open for New Zealand's largest Educational Conference - ULearn. This year it is to be held in Auckland. It would be great if we can have a few staff attend as it is great to see and hear about what is going on in Education in New Zealand.

4. Clickview: A reminder for staff that we have access to clickview. The link to login can be found via Onstream, and as a school it is single sign-on.

A number of staff had training on how to use this video platform in 2017 from the different Learning Areas. There will be further training on how to use the interactive feature.
