Form Teachers
Form Teachers take a personal interest in the progress and achievement of their students.
Students meet with their Form Teachers at Form Time every morning, and in Years 9 & 0 Form Teachers all teach their form class in one of the core subjects.
Deans
There are two Deans for each level of students. They oversee the welfare and progress of their students and provide academic and pastoral support for students in their care. The teacher of Te Reo Maori also works in a pastoral care capacity with Maori students.
Guidance Team
The Guidance Team of three work with students and their families to provide a sound support base so that any problems can be identified and addressed. They provide a professional, specialist and confidential service which helps students discover their own strengths and take responsibility for themselves. The key to managing stress or difficulties is having a strong support team.
Careers
A Careers Advisor and a full-time Careers Manager work to provide students of all ages with advice on appropriate course structures and career choices.
Peer Support
Peer support is designed to make the transition to High School easier by giving small groups of Year 9 students a Year 13 “buddy”. Students follow a programme of orientation and initiative activities, and are able to discuss school-related issues and build a relationship with their “buddy”.
Homework
Homework helps students develop sound study habits. This is set regularly and attention to it is actively encouraged. The Hargest Diary is a requirement for Year 9 to 11 and helps develop good homework habits. |
