Welcome to Naenae CollegeKia ora, suor sdei, Kia orana, malo e lelei, bula vinaka, marhaban, namaste, min-ga-la-ba, kumusta, muraho, talofa, iska waran, selam malo n’e.

Over the last 8 years we have made a number of changes in the school that have significantly improved the relational climate and learning outcomes. These changes include:

• In 2013 we achieved an 88% participation pass rate in NCEA Level 1. This was significantly above the national average of 68% for decile 1–3 schools and 81% for all schools. In 2014 these students achieved at 84% pass rate at Level 2 and are now progressing well at Level 3.

• In May 2014, ERO published a report called ‘Towards Equitable outcomes in secondary schools: Good practice.’ Naenae College was one of the 7 schools selected nationally for the case studies in this report.

• We have received letters two years in a row from the Minister of Education congratulating us on our accelerated progress of students in NCEA

• We have been recently identified as a school of quality practice in raising the engagement and achievement of Maori students under the Kia Eke Panuku development contract.

I invite you to come on this exciting journey with us, so that we can learn and grow together. I encourage you to read this Prospectus in detail and come to our Open Evening on Tuesday, 9 June at 6.00pm in the College Hall. There will be a tour of the College and an opportunity to observe students at work.

What makes us so special? With some 34 nationalities on our roll, we absolutely embrace and celebrate our diversity. Rather than being problematic, it is a rich learning opportunity for us all. Our overriding statement of value is summed up in the phrase ‘Te Whānau Tahi’ (The United Family). This is also the name of our College Marae and our Kapa Haka group.

We talk all the time about ‘unity in diversity’. We first acknowledge the Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa and our bicultural heritage. Then we acknowledge the multi ethnic nature of the Tauiwi – all the rest of us who have arrived on these shores over the generations. Everyone is important and valued. Mutual respect is the cornerstone value. We have a wonderful opportunity to learn from one another.

2 About our School

We focus our thinking and our heart commitment on realising the potential of our students. We recognise the cultural capital they bring which is diverse, rich and resilient. We learn with and from our students in a spirit of partnership. We embrace the concept of Ako – the reciprocity of teaching and learning. We have an absolute belief that we can make a difference and are doing just that.

Diversity is Wonderful

Living and Learning: Big Picture SchoolingIn 2013 we adopted the ‘Big Picture Schooling’ model which connects our Heart commitment to our core values, our Head commitment to academic achievement and our Hands commitment to attendance and engagement in a full range of activities and service to others to ensure we all live, learn and grow together.

‘Our teachers encourage us to be

strong in our own identity and help us to open up our eyes to

big possibilities’

Rajan ReddyHEAD BOY 2015I feel very honoured and privileged to be selected to represent Naenae College as Head Boy in 2015. The role of Head Boy is challenging, but I am learning a lot of new things and growing as an individual in many positive ways. The role allows me to give back to the college which has given me so much. Throughout my time at Naenae College I have learned and achieved many things, academically and through sports and other activities. The achievements I have gained will help me in my future plans of becoming a physiotherapist and to also open up my very own gym further on in life.Every day I put on my uniform, I feel extremely proud to be a part of Te Whānau Tahi (One Family). Three words that sum up what our amazing college is all about. Te Whānau Tahi, this is what defines the core values of our school. It is what we practice and preach and this enables our school to succeed as one big family. I have witnessed an immense growth of positive momentum since the changes to our timetable and introduction of our new Whānau structures in 2013. In 2015, we are building on the success that we have seen over the past years so that the school is a fantastic place for the next generation of students.

‘If you muck up, fess up and we will work

together to put things right. Honesty and

respect are important’

3. Whanau guidance systemStudents are placed into one of four Houses that we call Whānau. • Amo: Strong and steadfast• Maihi: Outstretched,

welcoming arms• Koruru: Thinking and acting

with wisdom• Tokomanawa: Getting to the

heart of the matterThe Whānau Heads are responsible for the pastoral care, guidance and academic progress for all students (Years 9 to 13) in their Whānau. This is a quarter of the school each. Students are placed in year level groups with 16–18 students led by a Learning Advisor who sees their students for 40 minutes 4 days each week and stays with the same group of students throughout their time at College. This Learning Advisory time includes assemblies, a structured learning programme and inter-group activities and competitions. It is active engagement time.This model is aimed at ensuring every student has a strong sense of belonging and someone who is ‘committed for life’ to their successful journey through school, constantly monitoring their progress and working in close partnership with the family. It is also aimed at students enjoying a strong identity as part of a Whānau, with leadership and involvement opportunities. Each Whānau has a team of 4 Prefects who provide leadership and 8 mentors who are attached in pairs to the junior Learning Advisory groups.

1. Core Values• Whānaungatang: relationships• Manaakitanga: caring• Rangatiratang: leadership• Kotahitanga: working together• Pumanawatanga: atmosphereWe call these our Te Whānau Tahi (United Family) values. We actively teach these core values through our whānau system and in all classes. They are the most important thing in the school. This strengthens our engagement and achievement and has made a huge difference to the culture of the school in recent years.

2. Classroom teachingLearning happens when there is a strong relational bond between teachers and students. Learning must be connected to the wider world. Students bring their prior knowledge and cultural understandings to their learning and this is embraced. Teachers are learners and learners are teachers. We learn from one another.

4. Restorative practiceWe strive to develop and maintain high trust respectful relationships that reflect our core values at all levels in the college. This includes all adults as well as students. All staff are trained to use a restorative approach in dealing with student behaviours.We include parents/whānau in this process whenever appropriate and we accept that sometimes adults get things wrong and have to put things right too. This process demands a high level of personal accountability. If students are not genuinely willing to engage in this process, then we use other formal accountability approaches (including stand-downs and suspensions) to ensure the safety of the school environment at all times.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS:• What did you do wrong?• Who was effected by this

behaviour?• What steps can you take to

put this right?• How do we make sure it

does not happen again?• Do you need help with this?

Shanelle CherryHEAD GIRL 2015It is such an honour and privilege to have received the opportunity to be Head Girl for Naenae College in 2015.I have been at Naenae College for the past five years and I have seen such a great amount of growth in our school over that time. Naenae College has also helped me grow in many ways such as growing my leadership skills with the opportunity to be a mentor and head girl. One of my favourite memories during my five years here was being a part of the senior girls’ basketball team winning division one. I have achieved many success here which will help me towards my plans of doing medicine in the future. I am very thankful for everything Naenae College has done for me, it has set me up for a great future.There is such an immense sense of belonging and pride in our school when walking through corridors, you can feel the joy and love of being a part of something as great as Te Whānau Tahi. It creates a certain special atmosphere that I’m sure you won’t find in many places. It is unique and creates ties that will last forever. I encourage you to come and join the family – Te Whānau Tahi.

Year 9 Learning ProgrammeWe have six classes in Year 9: • Five classes are evenly balanced,

mixed ability classes based on data and advice from contributory schools. Classes are not based on student or parental choice

All classes place priority on:• Te Whānau Tahi relationships• Reinforcement of key competencies • A focus on literacy and numeracy

in all subjects• Agreed pedagogical practices -

learning intentions, success criteria, quality feedback

• Appropriate use of technology• Sharing student assessment data

to improve outcomes

“If you are looking for a place with strong

values and an amazing learning atmosphere, Naenae College is the

place for you.”

4 Junior School

Leah ForsterYEAR 9 STUDENT 2015Being a Year 9 can be very daunting, but my experience at Naenae College has been anything but. Here I have become part of a culture that is so diverse, yet it is one of unity and acceptance.At Naenae College I have been able to participate in a variety of sports such as softball, touch, water polo and hockey. But that is only a fraction of what Naenae College has to offer. We also have sports such as futsal, volleyball and badminton in the summer and netball, rugby and basketball in the winter. Again, this is only the tip of the iceberg. I am in the Junior Choir and there are more cultural clubs in the college such as the Senior Choir, Poly Club and Te Whānau Tahi – our school kapa haka group. These activities are all run by our awesome teachers and coaches that volunteer their time to give us unforgettable experiences.So if you are looking for a school that is unified in its differences, or a school that offers you the opportunity to make the most of your interests and talents – then Naenae College is the place for you.

‘Think Global, Act Local’MY ASPIRATIONS, MY LEARNING,

MY BELONGING

The junior curriculum contains a range of exciting opportunities for Year 9 and Year 10 students.

SubjectsEveryone studies:• English• Mathematics• Science• Social Studies • Physical Education and Health• Digital Technology and

Information LiteracyWe believe in giving our Year 9 students some choice about what they want to study. Students can choose from the following Option courses. They choose three courses which must include at least one of the Technologies and one of the Arts.

Technologies• Hard

Materials• Foods• Graphics

Arts• Art• Drama• Music

Languages• Māori • Samoan • Spanish

Students may be identified as needing ESOL, Literacy or Numeracy support which will be provided.

Project-based Inquiry LearningIn 2015 all Year 9 students are involved in a four week long inquiry learning project. For this time they will stop having separate classes for English, Maths, Science and Social Studies and spend the time supported by all their teachers working on their own selected projects within common class themes. We expect to work in this way on an increasing basis in the years ahead. We are confident that the learning journey in the Junior School is an exciting one and will prepare all students well for NCEA and beyond.

Page 7: Naenae College Prospectus 2016

ExtensionIn addition to opportunities for extension within their regular classes, the College runs a gifted and talented programme which includes extension studies, robotics club, mentoring and future problem solving. Students are also encouraged to prepare for and enter competitions and special events such as the Australian Mathematics competition, Young Enterprise, Mathswell, Debating and art and essay competitions. Ignite Sports run an extension programme with groups of Year 10 and 11 students, leading to future leadership opportunities once they reach the senior school.

Learning support We go to considerable effort to accurately profile students’ learning abilities and needs before they start College so that we can best direct resources and balance classes. The school allocates significant resources to help students who need support with mainstream learning.This includes in-class support with Teacher Aides, modified learning material and withdrawal small group work. This support is coordinated by our HOD Learning Support, Ms Harman.We have a Special Needs Unit that caters for ORS students and others who need significant levels of support. These students are well integrated within the life of the college and a number spend a part of their time in mainstream classes, supported by Teacher Aides. Mrs Lee is the HOD and may be contacted on [email protected] or phone 5677175 x 855.

Students who have done particularly well in Year 9 may be invited

to join an extension class in Year 10.

Tiaki HuriaYEAR 9 STUDENT 2015During my short time at Naenae College so many amazing things have happened to me. I have met new people, forged new friendships and rekindled old ones. I have joined academic and sporting clubs, and above all else, I have learnt so many things across a wide variety of subjects.My first day at college was a daunting prospect. I was worried about everything. Would I make any new friends? Would I enjoy the facilities? What were my classes going to be? Fortunately, these fears were allayed soon after I arrived. There are so many great people here that it is impossible not to make friends! As for the facilities, we have an amazing library, massive gym, and a state-of-the-art Arts and Tech department. The inspiring staff here can also cater for your learning needs, such as moving you up a year level or two (as happened to me) for all you bright sparks out there. There are so many opportunities here, ripe for the picking!I have thoroughly enjoyed my brief time at Naenae College. It has become the perfect place for me to learn amongst like-minded people. If you are looking for a place with strong values and an amazing learning atmosphere, Naenae College is the place for you.

Year 10 Learning ProgrammeYear 10 is comprised of six classes. • One is an extension class in which the

top 30 achievers from Year 9 have the opportunity to work together and make accelerated progress towards being best prepared for NCEA merit/excellence endorsements

• We have a boys only and a girls only class• The other three classes are mixed

ability classesThe teaching teams of each junior class meet regularly to plan the overall learning and discuss progress of individuals and the class as a group. All teachers will be collecting data longitudinally during the year to make sure that students are progressing at the expected rate.

Assessment and Reporting In Years 9 and 10 the emphasis is on acquiring the skills and habits to make sure students will gain good qualifications in the senior school. Students in all classes are regularly assessed against the National Curriculum standards. Results are available to parents and can also be viewed through the parent portal on the College website.

There are three reports issued and two report conferences held during the year. The first of these is an Academic Conferencing meeting in Term 1 where each student, along with their parents or caregivers, meets with their Learning Advisor for 20 minutes to discuss progress and set goals for the remainder of the year. We also hold a more traditional parents evening early in Term 3, which gives students and parents the opportunity to talk to specific subject teachers.Our reporting is a Merit Award system placing emphasis on academic achievement and the key competencies as set out in the New Zealand curriculum document. These are:• Managing self• Relating to others• Participating and contributing• Thinking• Signs, symbols and textsThe emphasis is on celebrating achievements, identifying needs and planning to meet those needs.

Parents can expect:• Contact from the Learning Advisor,

both in person and through the student diary

• Access to any information held by the school including period absences, pastoral notes, incident reports and academic progress details not included on summary reports. This access can be gained either by contacting the College, or via a ‘parent portal’ link on the College website

• Regular homework• Prompt assistance from teachers,

Whānau Head, Guidance Counsellor, Health Nurse or Senior Staff when there are concerns.

At Naenae College there are a variety of cultures that create phenomenal diversity.Year 10 is my favourite year so far because there are more options to pick from and also there is the opportunity to be a good role model for the Year 9s.

Diana Oloapu BOARD OF TRUSTEES STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE 2015Naenae College is a school like no other. At Naenae College we live through the values of Te Whanau Tahi, values which tie us together as one united family. The school atmosphere among students and staff is one of respect and caring.Our teachers are dedicated to helping students succeed in all aspects of school life; in the classroom, on the sports field or in a cultural setting. Their passion helps us realise the importance of education, as well as helping us grow into well-rounded members of society. Our whole learning community thrives within this support structure. This helps us achieve our potential as students of Naenae College.I have had great opportunities that have helped shape me and have taught me to give everything a go. With strong support from teachers, I have been able to achieve so much during my years here such as breaking 3 shot put athletics records - now I am the North Island Champion for 2015. Without support and funding from the school this would not have been possible. The friendships I have made have been long lasting and I thank Mr Russell and the staff for their love and support.I would recommend Naenae College for any student of any culture or upbringing. Even though we are from different backgrounds, we come together as one family - Te Whanau Tahi.
