Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu

Adorn the bird with feathers so it may soar.

Whether you are young or old, there’s always room to grow. Learning a new skill, solving problems, and helping others are just some of the many “feathers” you can wear in order to soar high. The more strengths you have, the higher you’ll fly! Give your tamariki those feathers (experiences) so they may soar.

Information for Staff

1. Over the last couple of weeks, the Year 13 students were asked to complete an exit survey regarding their experience at CGHS over the last 5 years.

A number of questions have been asked - you may be interested in the first summary that has been downloaded from the survey tool 'Ask your team'. Students were asked to either disagree or agree with the statements. The percentages refer to the number who do agree. See the first section of the data HERE.
Further summaries of the written responses will be available over the next few weeks.
