Information for Staff
1. Welcome back for 2021. Hope you have all had a fantastic break. There have been a few changes onsite at CGHS over the break, most notably the gym and it is looking amazing.
On Monday, we will start with a welcome in the staff room at 9am, with meeting scheduled throughout the day. As our Teacher Only Day is on Friday, the welcome back lunch will be on Friday - so just a heads up.
Agenda:
- Welcome back
- New Staff Introductions
- Goals, Directions and Updates - ONC
- Start of Year Survey
- Powhiri and Waiata
A big change you will see, is the updated Kamar platform - I suggest you all watch the tips and tricks video before you login as there is definitely new learning for everyone.

3. Resubmissions: With the NCEA review, there will be an updated Assessment Rule on 1 Feb 2021. From this point forward, schools will only be able to offer a resubmission opportunity to students only when a minor error prevents them from reaching an 'Achieved' grade.
The only change in grade boundary available for resubmissions is from 'Not Achieved' to 'Achieved'. On this basis, the highest grade that can be awarded as a result of a resubmission of an internal assessment is limited to 'Achieved'.
We are to continue to offer only one resubmission for each assessment event against an Assessment Standard.
