Week 3 - Term 4 - 2022

He kokonga whare e kitea, he kokonga ngākau e kore e kitea 

A corner of a house may be seen and examined; not so the corners of the heart

This whakataukī indicates that where we can visibly see the corners of a house, we do not have the ability to see the inner thoughts or feelings of a person. This reminds us to take care when engaging with others, as we are not aware of what may be happening for them or in their lives.

1. Have a fantastic long weekend everyone. There are a few things going on over the next week as we get ready to farewell our year 13s.

End of Year Dates and Information:

a. Year 13 Leavers Dinner - Saturday 29 from 6:30pm - 10:00pm

Te Pae The Christchurch Convention Centre

b. Senior Prizegiving - Mon 31, starts at 6pm at CBHS. Please remember to collect your regalia prior.

c. Last days at school before exam leave.

NZQA assemblies - Year 12 period 3 and Year 11 period 4 on Tuesday 1 November in the gym. Year levels will be able to leave after their NZQA assembly. Students will be receiving their exam entry slips at these meetings so they must attend. If they are unable to, they must see me (BLS) prior. If Ako teachers can please attend to help out the information if you are not teaching please.

Year 13's will have their NZQA in the PAC p1 on Tues 1. For period 2, there will be a full school assembly for the year 13 Graduation. This will be in the gym, and all staff to attend. This will be followed by a small morning tea for students and staff to farewell the year 13s.

The year 13 group will then have their own farewell moment with Charlotte in the PAC during p3. Year 13 Ako teachers are welcome to attend.

Examination leave will begin on Wednesday 2 November, and examinations begin on Monday 7 November.

2. And just because the RAS and assessment is in my mind at the moment, with rumors that we could be hearing some changes....

Information for Staff

1. Curriculum Refresh - see karakia above

The new draft curriculum framework can be found HERE

CGHS is being sent relevant information for staff to discuss and unpack the refreshed curriculum document. We will look at holding a staff meeting in T4 to explore the new ideas further.

2. Curriculum and assessment activity forward planner - Term 4

With a lot of change happening, we know there is a lot to unpack and plan for. To support schools and kura with planning curriculum and assessment activities, the Ministry have developed a new forward planner which lays out these activities:

• Action required: Must-do actions. 
• Get involved: Opportunities to get involved in. 
• Resources and support: Further details including where to find them.

Available each term from Term 4 2022, you will find the new forward planner as a printable poster here:
