TARAWERA HIGH SCHOOLPROSPECTUS 2016

MANA is about honour and prestige. It’s also about respect and humility. Tarawera High School is an environment underpinned by the philosophy of whakawhanaungatanga, that recognises Tangata-whenua whilst still valuing all knowledge, language and culture.

Through their positive deeds and actions, our students build their MANA and standing within the school whānau. By acknowledging and celebrating actions that reinforce the values of MANA, we develop the moral character of our students and instil virtues that will stay with them for life.

Our VisionSupporting rangatahi to fulfil their potential and aspirations through meaningful partnerships with whānau and our community.

Kaupapa/Philosophy Like our sacred streams and rivers cascading at Te Takanga i o Apa by Pūtauaki that connect and flow into Te Awa o te Atua at Matatā, then out to sea, so too are the many connecting learning pathways at this school that enable rangatahi and whānau to gain knowledge, skills and wisdom, confidence and self-determination in preparing for their journey out into the world.

Mission StatementGrowWe will assist in the growth and personal development of rangatahi and whānau during their educative journey.

The Journey

Our school is bordered by Tarawera River which flows past us and eventually out to sea. This reminds us that the learning pathway our students are on at Tarawera High School is part of a larger journey that continues through life.

A new beginningWith the wisdom of our elders, the guidance of our teachers and the energy of our rangatahi, we travel the path towards an exciting future.

We are all whānauAt Tarawera High School we are one family, with shared values and a common whakapapa.

Guided by the wisdom of our eldersThe stories of our ancestors and their wise whakatauki (proverbs) inspire us to this day, with lessons as powerful now as when they were first spoken.

Protected by our guardian taniwhaOur caring sta  and supportive school whanau help guide our rangatahi along their pathway.

We navigate our path in lifeWe have introduced Vocational Pathways, with stronger links to career and study options to help our students prepare for their future after school.

Tena Koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoaA warm welcome to Tarawera High School.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Tarawera High School as the school of choice for your child. Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions in a child’s life. We o er the benefits of a targeted middle-years education—the chance to avoid the disruptive transition between Year 8 and 9—all within a family friendly, co-educational environment. We relish the opportunity to support our tamariki and liaise with you throughout this time. The importance of strong school-home relationships in this development phase of their life will see us strive to be inclusive and welcoming of you into our school.

The two sections of Tarawera High School- Junior and Senior- have distinct identities and share state-of-the-art specialist facilities and the most up-to-date 21st Century teaching expertise.

Junior High focuses on educating emerging adolescents (10-13 years) who are provided with quality,

student-centred inquiry programmes, delivered primarily by home-room teachers and supported by specialists.

Senior High students (14-17years) focus on gaining qualifications catering for individual vocational pathways, ensuring all students leave us to further education, training or employment.

As we start the process of our new build, we are o ering quality educational opportunities to local families. The school will reflect the latest concepts of design in education as it seeks to provide a modern learning environment to serve the community, ensuring academic achievement for all students.

Our sta  are well qualified and caring, o ering quality learning experiences via innovative programmes that cater for each student’s needs and with their future vocational path in mind.

We are clearly focused on providing a range of learning opportunities that meet the needs of our students and aim to produce young adults who have our qualities of MANA.

Our young people will be given many opportunities to develop and

pursue their interests and passions. We trust that they will take with them a sense of purpose and self-worth, a desire to succeed and become independent and contributing members of society.

When your child decides to attend Tarawera High we will commit ourselves to constantly exploring options to support them in his or her learning. I invite you to become part of our new school community preparing ourselves and our future leaders to meet the challenges of the 21st Century with confidence and self-determination.

Nāku noa, nā

Our Values

AkoNaku te rourou nau te rourou ka ora ai te iwiWith your basket and my basket the people will live To learn, study, instruct, teach, advise.

It is impossible for one person to contain all of the knowledge in the world. We believe in collaboration and acknowledge that each of us is a learner and a teacher at various times.

ManaakitangaHe tangata takahi manuhiri, he marae puehu

A person who mistreats his guest has a dusty Marae Respect for ourselves, for others, the environment and the traditions of the school.

Manaakitanga requires us to deliver our best. At Tarawera High School we demand excellence in hospitality, kindness, respect, caring for the environment and our relationships.

Ngākau-ponoHe tangata ki tahiIntegrity, being honest, trustworthy, responsible and accountable for your actions and decisions We gain honour from doing the right thing, even when it is not easy. Our students are encouraged to keep their word, and to be responsible for their own actions – leadership qualities that are valuable at school and beyond.

ĀwhinaKāhore taku toa i te toa takitahi, he toa takitiniWe cannot succeed without the support of those around us To care, mentor, assist, help.

The way we respect and care for others defines what we are like as people. Our sta  lead by example in this area and encourage our rangatahi to express this quality throughout their school journey.

Partnerships

Board of TrusteesOur Board of Trustees continues to be responsible for the establishing of the new school from the stunning facilities and professional sta  right through to the curriculum and overall governance of the school until everything is in place ready for our o�cial formal opening in January 2016. The members have a strong commitment and passion to supporting this new venture for the benefit of our current students and those to come in the future.

The Board and the Principal continue to develop and encourage a positive and stimulating atmosphere and are proactive in ensuring community voice (of students, whānau and all other external stakeholders) is maintained at the highest possible level.

Continuing Consultation We continue to request the community to take an active part in establishing and embedding Tarawera High School’s identity and on-going plans for our new school site. We began our building consultation process with our sta  and students in 2013 and extended this out to the community to feed back to us what they saw as the needs of their tamariki.

Feedback from the many community consultation hui saw us develop focus groups to collect data in our community to ensure engagement and consultation in the process of reviewing:

• PB4L - Developing our expectation of M.A.N.A

• Tātaiako - Cultural qualities and what does success look like to whānau.

• New Curriculum - Seniors - integrated courses, vocational pathways.

• New Approach - juniors - inquiry and key competency based.

Whānau Advisory Group (WAG)The purpose of WAG (meeting) is to discuss how we can best support our child’s education as a whānau, a school and a community. This is a group of any interested parents/ caregivers/ community members who are keen to establish links with the school. Participation in the process of a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis on how best to support the school is an ongoing task for the group. Current and new parents/caregivers interested are welcome to join this group at any time. Education is a shared commitment between enthusiastic teachers, motivated students and supportive parents.

Learning Environment

An Integrated CurriculumFor the delivery of the eight NZC Learning Areas of:

• English

• The Arts

• Languages

• Mathematics

• Social Sciences

• Physical Education and Health

Our Students

• Will be provided with e ective teaching and learning

• Will have their individual learning needs addressed

The Key CompetenciesTHINKING Students who are skilled thinkers and problem solvers can make sense of information, experiences, and ideas. They ask questions, think about their own learning and how they solve problems, and are keen to learn new things.

USING LANGUAGE, SYMBOLS, AND TEXTSStudents who are skilled at using language, symbols, and texts can understand and use words, number, images, movement, and are confident in using electronic technologies to access and provide information and to communicate with others.

MANAGING SELFStudents with self-motivation have a ‘can-do’ attitude, and see themselves as capable learners. They make goals, plan, manage time, and set high standards. They know when to lead, when to follow, and when and how to act independently.

RELATING TO OTHERSStudents who relate well to others can interact with di erent kinds of people in a variety of contexts. They listen, identify di erent points of view, negotiate, and share ideas, while thinking about how their words and actions a ect others.

PARTICIPATING AND CONTRIBUTINGStudents who participate and contribute in communities have a sense of belonging and the confidence to participate within new contexts. They understand the importance of balancing rights, roles, and responsibilities and of contributing to the quality and sustainability of social, cultural, physical, and economic environments.

Learning EnvironmentOur school delivers the New Zealand Curriculum in a modern learning environment, founded on the Key Competencies. These are the skills we all need to live, learn, work and contribute to our community.

Across the school, teachers deliver the curriculum through an integrated approach, with learning content from

across a variety of subjects linked by a common theme or topic.

Our school supports an inquiry based approach to teaching and learning, encouraging students to take ownership of and construct aspects of their own learning. It starts with exploration and questioning, and leads to investigation into a worthy question, issue, problem, or idea. It involves asking questions, gathering and analysing information, generating solutions, making decisions, justifying conclusions and taking action.

Pathways

21st Century LearnersTarawera High School is well-placed to meet the needs of 21st Century Learners.  We have moved into the first phase of our Modern Learning Environment and sta  have been extensively up-skilled in e ective modern teaching methods and Inquiry-based learning.  Sta  provide authentic learning contexts to engage students in their learning and links are being made with local industries to give students real-world skills and experiences.

The school boasts a wealth of IT resources including a large number of new Chromebooks, brand new Tech Hubs, Specialist Art and Music Computer Labs and State of the Art Presentation tools for both sta  and student use. Our innovative approach to curriculum delivery has already attracted interest from schools around the country.

We are also members of the Volcanics eLearning Cluster which enables students to access a range of subjects nationally which are delivered via our Video-Conferencing Suite.

Trades AcademyThe Bay of Plenty Trades Academy programme is available to Tarawera High School students. The purpose of the Trades Academy is to:

• Increase student retention in education.

• Raise student achievement of NCEA Level 2 qualification or an equivalent Level 2 qualification as targeted by the Government’s Better Public Service goals.

• Improve transitions from secondary to further education and training work.

The Trades Academy programme takes place at Waiariki Institute of Technology, Whakatane campus and Mokoia campus, Rotorua. Courses o ered are: hair and beauty, health care, engineering, electronics, business studies, agriculture, construction, automotive, hospitality, forestry, early childhood education, and horticulture.

GatewayThe Gateway programme is a structured hands-on workplace learning opportunity for senior, work ready students. Students who participate in this programme are those who have an interest in a particular career pathway and just want to see what it is really like on a day-to-day basis.

Students find work-based learning helps them understand the skills required in their chosen career pathway and also may help lead onto an apprenticeship, employment or future training opportunities. Importantly, it helps students understand what is involved in the move from school to work.

Vocational PathwaysWe are pioneering the new educational tool known as ‘Vocational Pathways’ at Tarawera High School.

These vocational pathways provide new ways to achieve NCEA Level 2 or equivalent, with a stronger focus on career options across the following six industry sectors:

All senior courses are mapped to the Vocational Pathways and students work with their subject and whanau teachers to develop their own learning programme to gain the skills and experience they need to pursue their chosen career.

CareersCareer guidance provides the insight, tools, up to date information and motivation to help students find their real strengths, define their goals and fulfil them. One-on-one counselling is available for all students. This can help students explore their thoughts, aspirations, start thinking about their future, consider obstacles, alternative pathways and provide encouragement as they seek to make manageable and realistic plans. Parents are welcome, and are encouraged, to be involved in this process.

Our New Facilities

We believe a conducive learning environment is one that positively engages students in the pursuit of learning and will ensure our success in raising academic achievement. Bringing about-

• High Expectations

• Coherence

• Cultural Diversity

• Community Engagement

• Future Focus

from which comes confident, connected, actively involved, life-long learners and achievement for all.

Tarawera High School is moving forward to its rightful place among the successful schools in the Bay of Plenty, which will not only bring pride and mana to our school but also to our whanau and our community of Kawerau.

21st Century learning is not just about learning knowledge but also how to construct it and apply it to life.

10

Students in the new buildings at Tarawera High School are being provided with rich and varied learning experiences to cater for di erent learning needs and rates of learning. New approaches to classroom design have given our teachers the opportunity to use innovative and imaginative teaching practices to better

meet the needs of all their students.

Teachers are sharing large learning spaces, rather than traditional classrooms, with children at di erent levels, learning di erent things.

At the time of going to print the new Tarawera High School Administration Block,

Performing Arts Theatre, Hospitality Centre and the first Whare Ako (learning house) have been completed. By the beginning of 2016 ready for the school year we will see a finished Whare Tapere, Creative Technology Centre and our second Whare Ako.

We are all whānau (Student Support)

Special NeedsThe Specialist Learning Centre (Tomairangi Atawhai) caters for students with diverse needs, in a safe, specialised learning environment. The purpose built space allows for a range of learning activities and styles, to ensure that students receive teaching and learning that best suits their individual needs. Students also have the opportunity to access appropriate main school programmes, generally with teacher-aide support.

GaTE In 2014 Tarawera High School completed a two year programme to develop systems to identify and support Gifted and Talented students.  Students can be referred by either a teacher or parent using a referral form.

In 2015 we have begun to further develop our GaTE opportunities and to embed them into our curriculum.  Opportunities for GaTE students currently include: Accelerated Literacy and Numeracy classes, Computer Coding Workshops, Individual learning Programmes developed in conjunction with student and whanau, Enhanced Reading Programmes, Extension Maths Groups, Scholarship Art classes, Science Summer Schools and Problem-Based Learning.

This programme is under review as we develop the role of GaTE Co-ordinator and more opportunities are being developed.

Pastoral CareIt is important to us that all students and sta  feel safe, valued, cared for and respected as individuals. Our smaller size means that we will all know each other and our whānau. We aim to ensure the well-being of our students in an inclusive school-wide culture that promotes meaningful relationships, care for the environment, oneself and others, unity and harmony. Community / whānau support and input into ensuring our tamariki are well cared for is vital, hence our aim is to have continual lines of communication open.

We have a Student Services Centre where our Guidance Counsellor, Nurse and SWiS are located. They provide a confidential service to help and support students and whanau.

Restorative PracticesRestorative practices are an integral part of Tarawera High Schools behaviour management system. It is a process that looks to repair relationships when there are issues or conflict between students and sta . It is a process that does not look to punish or assign blame. The process focuses on exploring the harm done, building understanding, putting things right and also planning a way forward. A restorative school builds resilience and teaches/models emotional intelligence so that high end incidents are less likely to occur.

Whānau involvement is vital and we will encourage and expect parents to be fully involved. When things continue to go wrong we draw on a wider range of support mechanisms to support the student.

Reflect – Repair – Reconnect

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L)PB4L- Positive Behaviour for Learning represents a major shift in managing disruptive behaviour by students in our education system. It is built on the foundation that positive behaviour can be learnt and di�cult and disruptive behaviour can be unlearnt. It moves away from seeing individual students as a ‘problem’, and towards proactively changing the environment around them to support positive behaviour.

Tarawera High School is an environment underpinned by the philosophies of whakawhanaungatanga and manaakitanga, that recognises Tangata-whenua and still valuing all knowledge, language and culture. These operate in a partnership environment between the school, the student, and the community.

Through modelling, teaching and rewarding positive behaviours, we will embed the tikanga / kaupapa of our school into the everyday lives of the whole school community.

The Arts and Sport

Performing Arts Dance/Drama/Music/Tarawera High School is home to some very talented Performing Arts students. We o er opportunities for Junior students to participate in Music, Dance and Drama from year 7 up to year 10 in preparation for our Senior Performing Arts Academy. In this subject we o er an integrated Performing Arts Programme which has been extremely successful for our students who have achieved a large amount of credits in this programme.

Our extra-curricular programme allows students to be involved in a range of Performing Arts disciplines from School Production to Kapa Haka. We are very proud of our students who have reaped the rewards from performing in our School Production of ‘Grease’ and from performing at the Tuwharetoa festival in Taupo.

Visual ArtsVisual Arts o ers students the ability to engage in real-world tasks using Industry Based Standards and equipment. We o er courses that target both traditional and contemporary Visual Art through Drawing, Painting and Printmaking,

as well as Digital Photography, Moving Image, Design and Illustration.

Using the new Vocational Pathways initiative we support the development of students that are diversely talented and ready to further their learning in Tertiary Institutions or through employment. The courses o ered allow students to work on projects that cover a range of curriculum areas and creates an environment and culture that is similar to the workplace.

Students that participate in Visual Arts would be interested in a future career as a Practicing Artist, Photographer, Designer, Architect, Illustrator, or a range of Exhibition and Gallery Technician positions.

SportTarawera High School prides itself on its sporting achievements. We have a variety of di erent codes to complement our students’ academic studies. There are traditional sports such as athletics, rugby, netball, soccer, basketball and volleyball alongside rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, golf, waka ama, touch, multisport and badminton, as examples of the many sporting opportunities for students.

Our sporting opportunities suit all abilities and ages from Yr 7 through to Yr 13 and combined with their academic success students will become actively involved, confident and connected graduates of Tarawera High School.

Outdoor EducationWe have a vision to create one of the best Outdoor Education programmes in the country. We o er this as a course in years 10-13 giving students a chance to step outside their comfort zone in safe but challenging environments. In the 2015 year, the programme will include white-water kayaking, mountain biking, rock-climbing, diving, survival skills and snow sports.

We also provide a range of extra-curricular opportunities available to all students such as adventure racing, mountain biking, rock-climbing and white-water kayaking.

Leadership

Duke of EdinburghThe Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a programme for 14 - 25 year olds and is open to all young people.

Leaders are often born during challenging situations. The Duke of Edinburgh programme embraces this idea by immersing our students into authentic outdoor experiences where physical and environmental challenges encourage them to unlock their own leadership potential. These experiences extend in duration as participants progress from Bronze to Silver, and finally to the Gold award. Students are also required to partake in skill development, sports and recreation, and community service. The combination of these areas encourages our students to become well-rounded leaders of the 21st Century.

POET – Perry Outdoor Education TrustThe Perry Outdoor Education Trust assists Secondary Schools to facilitate the delivery of Outdoor Education experiences for students by building capability and sustainability in schools through professional development, mentoring of teachers and direct funding. Each year level will have a particular focus based on the needs of the students. The learning

environments will be set outside of the classroom and could include camp based situations.

Tuakana Teina- Peer MentoringThe tuakana-teina relationship is an integral part of traditional Māori society, providing students as role models. This could be an older or more expert tuakana who helps and guides a younger or less expert teina. In a learning environment that recognises the value of ako, the concept means both to teach and to learn. It recognises the knowledge that both teachers and learners bring to learning interactions, and it acknowledges the way that new knowledge and understandings can grow out of shared learning experiences.

Peer MediationLeadership through Peer Mediation is a peaceful conflict resolution programme which empowers students to become ‘ambassadors of social justice’, student leaders in the school community promoting

fairness and respect for all students, watching out for harassment and bullying and helping students to get the support they need.

Kapa Haka"Te Kaungā Whārangi e ngunguru nei”

Tarawera High School o ers students the opportunity to become members of the Kapa Haka and use it as a learning tool to learn about tikanga Māori, ngā mahi a Rēhia and Te Reo Māori. Aspects of Kapa Haka such as Ngā Taonga Tuku Iho, waiata, haka, poi, mau rākau, is unique with its mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects contributing to the whole kapa haka teaching and learning process. The underpinning core values and principles of our group is MANA. We embrace this as kaihaka and adhere to these concepts and practices.

Kapa Haka is used to strengthen the links of our students to the whānau, community, hapū, and the wider iwi. Kapa haka also allows our students to reveal the potential of rangatiratanga (leadership), tuakana teina (mentoring), whanaungatanga (building relationships) and Ahureatanga (culturalism)

The rōpū performs at school events, community events, as well as the annual Tuwharetoa Taiopenga Festival.
