College Progress

18/6/2018

 
During the year we have been working on a number of areas in preparation for our college opening in 2019. I'd like to provide you with an update of both what we and the Proprietors have been working on:
Picture

1. Curriculum

PATHWAYS
We are currently working on developing a broad and forward thinking style of curriculum that incorporates endless options and multiple pathways for students. Pathway options will include:
  • Full NCEA
  • Christian Schools New Zealand (CSNZ) Certificate university entrance
  • Qualified non-university
This is an exciting opportunity and will be the envy of many New Zealand schools, as our students will have far more diverse individual pathway options than most students within New Zealand.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000 Health & Fitness Centre are excited to partner with us to develop a PE programme for our college students. Through this facility, our students will gain access to specialists in each sporting field and have the opportunity to experience a wider range of sporting opportunity than many small schools are able to offer.

2. Uniform

We recognise a need for consistency across the school with regard to uniform and the commencement of our college next year provides an ideal opportunity to review our entire uniform to ensure it reflects current conditions and school culture. Our uniform review process will be led by the Board of Trustees and will involve several consultation periods to ensure we carefully and respectfully consider all options.
Picture
The brief will include the following. Uniform must:
  • look smart
  • be low cost
  • comfortable
  • reflect the three distinct schools - Junior, Middle and Senior, while maintaining an RVS 'image'.
We expect the roll-out transition period to occur over two years, commencing in 2019, to ensure parents are able to get full use out of existing uniform.

Proprietors

The Proprietors have been working on a number of areas over the past few months, including:
  • First stage of the building process
  • An updated  attendance dues structure
  • What to call the new college.

Information Evening

We will host an information evening during Week Three of Term Three in which we will elaborate on all the information that we have up to this point, as will the Proprietors.

PARENTS OF YEAR 8 STUDENTS
I will be happy to meet with you individually at any time to discuss next year. Please feel free to drop in to see me or give me a call to discuss our plans.

ENROLMENT FOR 2019
Numbers for our first Year 9 class will be limited. First preference will go to current RVS students. We will be using the same enrolment criteria for the College as we currently do for the rest of the school.

Thank you for your continued support as we continue to define the coming college.  It is exciting and the miracle of Christian High Schooling in Marlborough shouldn't be lost on us.  Please continue to ask questions as more information becomes available and remember that there is already a large amount available in this blog and associated links regarding the vision for where we are heading.

God bless,

Dave Pauling
Principal
