Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on Instagram! us for New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one source of education news, inspiration and opportunities.

This issue:

Spotlight on school property Editor’s note This issue has a special focus on school property. We explore some of the challenges and opportunities that come with managing school property and the many different factors that inform decisions around maintenance, redevelopment and new build projects. There are some inspiring case studies: schools that have worked with the Ministry to complete effective learning environments for their students and staff. We include a project with a focus on sustainability and strong ties to its local community. We look at projects that have incorporated flexibility into their design to allow their learning spaces to be fit for a range of purposes, both now and in the years to come. A property modification at a Christchurch secondary school has created a more inclusive environment, helping to forge connections between their students. We also share the efforts of a group of schools in Whakatāne to improve attendance and engagement through strengthening relationships with families across their community. Check out the video on the Education Gazette YouTube channel.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Flexibility and sustainability in school’s new build A sustainably built new teaching block at Nelson’s Waimea College has met an urgent need for more classrooms, provided a flexible learning environment for the mathematics department and sequestered more than 270 tonnes of CO2e.

aimea College is in Richmond, a satellite suburb of Nelson, where demand for housing has seen the development of hundreds of homes over the past decade. Roll growth at Waimea College, currently at 1,600+, resulted in a deficit of 13 teaching spaces, which meant that at times, some classes were taught in the staff room and school library. Most of the school’s classroom stock is more than 60 years old and configured in single cell classrooms. “The school is 1957 vintage and not what you would describe as modern, world-class teaching and learning spaces. So, when the opportunity came to build this new teaching block, we wanted to really investigate ‘what is a world-class teaching space?’” says principal Scott Haines. The roll-growth project is being delivered by the Ministry of Education’s Education Infrastructure Service team. In preparation, Waimea College embarked on a process to develop a vision for the future of teaching and learning at the college, alongside the Ministry team. Through this process, the college recognised that the future would need sustainable and gazette.education.govt.nz

flexible building solutions. The college also recognised the significance of the local construction workforce to their community and were keen to support local businesses where possible.

Research and ideas Key members of the school’s staff visited various schools around Aotearoa, which had been identified as having strong teaching and learning spaces. The team from Waimea College was very interested in the concept of flexible learning environments. “A former principal of Cashmere High School, Mark Wilson, did a meta-analysis on all the research he could find on modern learning environments and concluded that there are pieces of research that cut both ways with modern learning environments and whether they are of benefit or not. “One of the key takeaway messages from his report was around flexibility and that we shouldn’t lock ourselves down into any one type of pedagogy. These buildings will be around long after we have gone and we need to be mindful about who will inherit these places and make sure that they are as flexible as possible,” explains Scott. TUKUTUKU KŌRERO | 26 October 2020

Most of the new building is made from locally grown pine and locally manufactured engineered timber products.

“These buildings will be around long after we have gone and we need to be mindful about who will inherit these places and make sure that they are as flexible as possible.” Scott Haines “That was one of the things that really drove us and we found a number of schools that had implemented that well. We ‘burgled and borrowed’ from all around the country for ideas and then we threw our own value set and priorities on top of that.”

Local timber products Nearly all of the materials used in Waimea College’s new mathematics block (which includes a specialist earth sciences lab) were sourced from within 100 kilometres of the school. Laminated veneer lumber (LVL), an engineered wood product is manufactured at Nelson Pine Ltd from locally grown pinus radiata. It’s generally used for lintels, beams, mid-floors and roofs. With the exception of the foundation, there is no structural steel or concrete in this new build. Reducing the carbon footprint of infrastructure aligns with the Government policy statements on climate change and sustainability. The Ministry’s design guidelines incentivise designers to use “sustainable and non-harmful material and resource use, and reduce emissions to the atmosphere” – these principles are aligned with the school’s vision. “We had the sustainability focus right from the get-go: early in the piece, timber became something we wanted to build with. You can stand at the top of the new R Block on the wooden stairs with the LVL beams around you and look out to Nelson Pine where the LVL is made, which is pretty cool,” says Scott. “By using timber rather than steel and concrete, the build saved 270 tonnes of carbon dioxide being discharged into the environment – the equivalent of 110,000 school vehicle drops offs with a 15km round trip.

Education Gazette | 26 October 2020

“That calculation is just based on the nature of the products in the building and doesn’t include the saving from using locally sourced products rather than products that have been shipped all around the place,” he says.

Supporting local businesses One of the school’s core values is a sense of belonging and an objective of the building project was to support the local community. “We are a local community school; we market ourselves as such and we wanted mums and dads of our students to be involved in all aspects of the project: design, build and sourcing of products. The story I have told the students is, ‘Your mums and dads will have made the LVL at the local timber mill, will have grown and milled that timber, been the truck drivers bringing that timber to the yards, or been the builders and contractors’. “We’re part of a community and we take that responsibility really seriously. We know that economically times are tough right now and have been, and will continue to be for some time. This is a nearly $5 million project and we know that decisions we make can have tangible benefits for local communities if we do it right. Parents invest in us as a school and we wanted to invest back in our families and our local community,” he says.

“I replied: ‘Well, sometimes I visit and the wall is open and others time I visit and it’s closed’, says Scott. “He said, ‘That’s perfect, that tells us that you are using the building as a flexible space and getting the maximum value out of it. If it sat open all the time, we would question why it’s there; if it was closed all the time, we would ask why you didn’t just put a wall there. But the fact that it’s opening and closing depending on the needs of the teacher and what’s going on in the classroom tells you that you are already starting to embrace that flexible learning pedagogy’.”

Catch-up and expansion With Stage 1 of the roll growth project – R block – now complete, Stage 2 is now underway and will increase the capacity of the college for projected roll growth. The new English and Media Studies block with a dedicated computer lab is due to open by the start of term 3, 2021. Staff are enjoying the new facility and starting to evolve their practice accordingly.

Operable walls

“Where we will see the tension over time is that we will see a variation in practice between the areas we can use more flexibly and engage with better than the more traditional single cell classrooms where we can’t.

Discussions were held with the architects about the pros and cons of ‘operable walls’ that fold back to make bigger teaching spaces. Scott was pleased when the Ministry’s South Island property manager visited the school a few weeks after R Block opened at the beginning of term 3 and asked if the operable walls were being used.

“We’ve only had the building open for a term so we are just starting to dip our toe into the water of what the possibilities look like. Years and years of practice in one way takes some time to undo. I feel confident that in a year’s time you will see our practice has evolved even further,” says Scott. gazette.education.govt.nz

LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Breaking the mould Along with the new two-storey mathematics block, Scott employed a new HoD maths, Richard Keys, who was involved in the design of the building from the start. “Mathematics is not always an area which is open to flexible learning environments and creative curriculum; however, we went out of our way to recruit an HoD who broke that mould. “What a great opportunity to provide a new teaching space to an HoD who is trying to create new ways of doing things and really breathe some modern flavour into their curriculum,” says Scott.

Building supports pedagogy The input of Richard and key members of the mathematics department was critically important and provided them with a unique opportunity to contribute to the design of the building in a way that supported the pedagogy they wanted to roll out. “We were looking for the opportunity for teachers/students to collaborate when they can. A number of classrooms open up into other classrooms and we have tried to structure our timetable in such a way so that when there are classes that are capable of co-teaching, we can timetable them next to each other and open those walls up and do some team teaching,” says Scott.

Buzz and engagement A traditional maths classroom generally consists of students working at individual desks and Richard says there’s much more of a buzz of engagement and improved buy-in from some of the students who used to fly under the radar in the new spaces.

“One small thing that I hadn’t planned for is that the orientation of the room changes things. Most classrooms tend to be longer than they are wide, but these are wider than they are long. It has changed the feel of the classroom because the class is gathered around you. Everyone is an active learner and part of the group. The layout somehow encourages students to try something new,” he says.

Active inclusive learning Feedback from teachers and students has been very positive and staff have been seeking opportunities to open up the double spaces and find different ways to use them and present things differently. “Rather than being stuck at the front of the room, teachers are freed up to roam and provide help when and where it’s needed. The learning can be more active and more inclusive. What we’re seeing is more engaged students, and teachers who are bouncing ideas off each other and learning together,” says Richard. The flexibility of the environment encouraged the kind of collaborative approach envisaged, with teachers sharing ideas, and working together to implement them, says Richard. “At any one time, we might have groups of students designing and running experiments, for example using robots or building bridges, while others are using laptops to build mathematical models using the data they have collected. Meanwhile another group is gathered around a whiteboard desk working through a set of problems which require the application of their new knowledge in different contexts,” he says.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Zero waste healthy lunches “transformational” A campaign to reduce lunchbox waste rubbish to zero, and encourage healthy lunches, has been transformational, says Gary Roberts, principal of Hornby Primary School in Christchurch.

'No waste to be found at Hornby Primary School!' say Carez and Jazaky.

Education Gazette | 26 October 2020

gazette.education.govt.nz

All on the bus For Hornby’s Healthy Lunch Challenge, Hornby Primary School built on strengthened community engagement, which grew from a 2019 Ministry of Education pilot resulting in a campaign to encourage tamariki to arrive at school before the 8.55am bell, says Gary. “We were involved in a pilot with Ministry of Education around community engagement and we came up with some of the issues at our school. Children were not getting to school before the bell goes which puts them on the back foot for the rest of the day. We came up with a campaign called All on the bus, with the goal of having 100 per cent of our school population at school and ready for learning before the 8.55 bell,” he says.

Emma, Kaeden, Arabella, Taimana and Misty-Rose show off their healthy lunches.

“The children are loving the food – it is a lot more nutritious. We are noticing better focus in the afternoons after lunch. Even after the first week there was a huge change.” Heather Matthews

ary says the campaign has probably been one of the most successful initiatives he has been involved in.

“I think if you target the audience in the appropriate manner, involving children and using social media, you can make a difference,” he says. In less than two months in Term 3, Hornby’s Zero Waste Healthy Lunch Challenge resulted in healthier lunch options, improved concentration after lunch and up to a 98 per cent reduction in waste from lunchbox wrappers, say Gary and Heather Matthews, who has led the campaign. “We noticed that the lunches were just processed stuff and not that healthy. You might see one lunch box with five little packets of chips, two muesli bars and a yoghurt,” says Heather. “It was a double-pronged attack; a focus on some ideas we can provide for cheap healthy options – and also around zero waste. We were getting lots of rubbish flying around our playground, which happens in many schools throughout the country – yoghurt pottles, chippie packets etc,” adds Gary.

All on the bus involved a term-long school and community-wide goal showcasing different routines to help children get to school on time. The same message was repeated and promoted through multiple channels: Facebook, email, text, newsletter, noticeboard and summarised in a fridge magnet reminding parents of their roles in their child’s education. “We made short video clips with helpful hints that we posted to help children and whānau around routines, time going to bed and having your school uniform ready the night beforehand. That was successful, but this zero waste, healthy lunch campaign has been more successful because we used a lot of learning from the All on the bus campaign,” he says.

“I sourced a couple of hundred Bento lunchboxes from Sistema. Then we launched it to the community on Facebook and through our online newsletter Hail. We got the first menu and video online and sent home the lunchboxes – all named. Having everything ready to go was the key to making it work,” says Heather. Weekly online posting of a menu with ideas, a shopping list with pricing and a video with children talking about the contents of that week’s lunchbox, was an important part of community engagement. “Our school leaders have been the ones doing the videos and also going around the classrooms and collecting the data. But we have also had two five- and six-year-old children star in a video. We have a shopping list and a menu plan that goes out for whānau,” explains Heather.

Multiple benefits Whether through a lack of knowledge, skills or application, some children were turning up to school without a healthy lunch, says Gary.

To get buy-in from parents, Heather says the school provided whānau with tools, including Bento lunchboxes and a weekly menu with realistic and attainable lunch ideas.

“We would have some children turning up here with a big bag of chips and a packet of biscuits for their food for the day. I think actually showing people how they can do it and pricing it, has had a major impact on this campaign.

“Before we launched the initiative, I did a whole lot of pricing and setting of menus at Countdown, Hornby. We bought prize vouchers from Countdown and a local restaurant, Fush, provided vouchers for free children’s meals for every child who came with zero waste in their lunch.

The menus included a sandwich, wrap or bread roll with protein in it, a piece of fruit and a snack.

“When the first menu went out, a mother said to her teacher how excited her Year 6 son was. He was up ready making his lunch for the next day!” he says.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Below: Gary and Heather have been delighted by the response to the Zero Waste, Healthy Lunch challenge.

Tamariki at Hornby Primary School enjoy finding out what's in their lunchboxes each day.

“We kept it real regarding the food choices because we know we’re not going to turn everything around at once. But even just having a sandwich with a bit of protein in it is better than having a packet of chippies,” says Heather. “We have noticed a lot more sandwiches, rolls, wraps, cut veges and fruit, a lot of home baking. It was a huge turnaround,” she says.

More advantages “The children are loving the food – it is a lot more nutritious. We are noticing better focus in the afternoons after lunch. Even after the first week there was a huge change,” says Heather. As well as eliminating waste, Heather says they wanted to help families save some money. “We tried to show them that by decanting big bags of things into a lunchbox, they could stop waste and save money,” she says. Other spinoffs are that children are proud of their lunches; some have started making their own lunches and some of the youngest children, who can take a long time to eat their lunches, now manage to finish eating their lunches because they’re not spending time opening up packets.

Waste slashed Within a matter of weeks, rubbish from lunchboxes was dramatically reduced – by mid-September 97 per cent of tamariki were bringing zero waste lunches to school. “In the classroom in the morning, they show us their lunchboxes and we just have a tick chart – it takes five minutes. Then all of the results are collated across the school and we come up with a percentage,” says Heather.

Education Gazette | 26 October 2020

“In terms of zero waste, our caretaker has seen a huge reduction in waste. He told me he would often come in on a Monday morning and pick up handfuls of litter that had caught up in plants, bushes and trees over the weekend. Last week he came in and picked up three pieces. I know myself, every day I would be picking up rubbish trying to set an example to the children. I also have noticed a huge reduction,” says Gary.

Focus provides results The challenge has been truly transformational in terms of zero waste and healthy options, says Gary. “I know a lot of schools have tried healthy eating since I have been involved in education for 35 years, but we have tended to try to do it through the adults and I think this has been successful because we have done this through the children and having them actively involved in creating the menus and the videos and the reinforcement with the prizes. I haven’t seen anything better,” he says. “We were communicating daily. One of the things we learnt from the first challenge is that you have to hit it every single day. What you focus on will provide the results,” adds Heather. Hornby Primary School plans to continue with the zero waste campaign, seek ideas on tips and recipes for healthy lunches and continue community engagement through Facebook.

Community engagement 101 Here are some of the strategies used by Hornby Primary School to engage their community: » Use existing parent network groups to refocus the purpose of the parent support group and provide parents with a forum. » Raise issues or suggestions in a safe, parent-led space. Some thought needs to be given to parent leadership of this group, so they are empowered to coordinate/lead. » Provide a way for teachers to digitally record parent suggestions/ideas and a way for parents to help action them, with updates at the school board meeting.

Design principles for good communication and engagement These principles build on each other, and together form an experience of positive communication and engagement to help support parents and school staff with supporting learning and wellbeing. » Build trusted relationships and community: kai and put out the welcome mat. » Build confidence and capability: offer practical, simple ways a parent can help. » Face time is important: take time to actively listen, read body language and understand. » Know who they are and what’s important to them. » Adapt and relate to your audience: language and approach. » Get to the real issues: with honesty, authenticity and respect. » Be proactive and part of the solution.

“... this has been successful because we have done this through the children ... I haven’t seen anything better.” Gary Roberts

ATTENDANCE & ENGAGEMENT

From a place of care and whanaungatanga Whakatāne schools are working together to address attendance and engagement across their community, with a firm emphasis on putting relationships front and centre.

amia Honatana’s day begins with delivering 17 kai packages to whānau from her kura, to support them in the build-up to the holiday break between terms 3 and 4. “That food is there to support them to look after their children. And I know my families are grateful. They like the idea that the school is there to support them and that we’re mindful of their needs,” says Ramia, deputy principal at Te Kura ō te Pāroa in Whakatāne. “We go into the homes rather than asking the whānau to come to the school. So in some respects we can say the school goes into the home now.” It’s all part of an approach that the Whakatāne Kāhui Ako is taking in an effort to build relationships and boost attendance and engagement across their schools.

The impact of Covid Lead principal of the Kāhui Ako and principal of Apanui School, Simon Akroyd, says the challenges their schools are facing with attendance shouldn’t be understated. “Our data is pretty scary. We’ve got almost 400 children out of 4,500 who have attendance of less than 80 per cent, so they’re missing a day of school a week.” It was a challenge they were already starting to address towards the end of last year, but the Covid-19 lockdown exacerbated the issue further. “When we came back from Covid we realised it really was a big issue,” says Simon.

Education Gazette | 26 October 2020

Urgent Response Fund Simon says the Urgent Response Fund – a fund that is there to help schools address re-engagement in learning and wellbeing following the Covid-19 lockdowns – has been timely in helping them address their attendance challenge. The Kāhui Ako had already started working with the Rotorua Central Kāhui Ako, to adapt the model that they had introduced to lift attendance and engagement across their schools and kura. Rotorua Central’s across school teacher for attendance, Janice Simeon, became a mentor to the Whakatāne Kāhui Ako. “The funding from the Urgent Response Fund allows us to have Janice come to Whakatāne each week and work in with each of our schools around addressing their attendance issues,” he says.

Borrowing expertise In response to the attendance issues they were facing in Rotorua, Janice had introduced a model that centred strongly on building relationships with their parents and whānau. It’s proving to be successful. “Building relationships outside of our school gates works. As teachers we build relationships with our kids and we do it at super speed so that we can teach our kids. That skill in a whānau environment is magic.” She says it has been an absolute pleasure working with the Whakatāne Kāhui Ako, as they already have a strong team culture and sense of manaakitanga – a vital prerequisite for building relationships with their community.

Visit the Education Gazette YouTube channel to hear how the Whakatāne Kāhui Ako is approaching attendance and engagement.

“I’m just grateful for the leadership because they’ve enabled that. The faster we can do that, the faster we can help families, the faster we can engage our children into education.”

Signs of change Whakatāne schools are seeing signs of progress; their mahi is starting to pay off. “Once you have a really strong relationship then I find the pathway is clear. If I have a child who’s away, I know I can ring and the parents will answer the phone because they know who it is,” says Ramia. She gives an example of a child who was reluctant to attend school because of her struggle with asthma and eczema. “So we got the asthma nurse and the eczema nurse to help her. She’s got all her medicines. She’s not feeling shy to be at school anymore. And her māmā said to me this morning, ‘Whaea, I’m so happy about how things are going now. There are no morning dramas before school and my child is really happy to come to school now’. “I think for me, if you work hard on building the relationship, the whānau will open their hearts and doors for you as well,” says Ramia. Vicki Maguire, the across school teacher for attendance for the Kāhui Ako, gives another example. During lockdown, one child experienced some medical issues and is consequently now attending school on a part-time basis, working in conjunction with the Northern Health School. However, even part-time attendance proves difficult at times, and on these occasions, Vicki connects with the student via Zoom. gazette.education.govt.nz

ATTENDANCE & ENGAGEMENT

Apanui School is starting to see the benefits of the approach the Whakatāne Kāhui Ako is taking to address attendance.

“I think for me, if you work hard on building the relationship, the whānau will open their hearts and doors for you as well.” Ramia Honatana “I go through lessons that she can be working on that teachers have already provided through the digital classroom. But what it’s actually done is, the parent is now making contact with me and letting me know, ‘look, she’s not going to be in today’ and the child will always come and touch base with me when she is at school and lets me know how she’s getting on.”

Care and whanaungatanga Deputy principal at Trident High School, Jay Haydon-Howard, says the new model is a shift from a truancy focus to a more relational approach. They have an attendance team who know the school community well and work hard to build those relationships. “A lot of whānau in the past have felt that things are done to them, or for them, or they fall through gaps, whereas now they feel like they’re part of that process. And the more opportunity we have to get out and to work with wider community and the hapū and Iwi, the stronger that relational base becomes.” Jay says that by approaching whānau from a place of care and whanaungatanga rather than a ‘your child hasn’t been at school’ standpoint, they’re now starting to hear from whānau. “We’re at the point where whānau will contact us to say, ‘Hey, I know they’ve not been at school today. This has happened. I just wanted you to know’. And that’s a remarkable step from people who traditionally we wouldn’t have heard from.” Brendan Stevens is a member of the attendance team and agrees the tide is beginning to turn. “There is a lot of ease of communication regarding whānau now. The acceptance to have us knock on the door – ‘yeah, come straight in’. A lot of that is personality based and your approach. Every hapū is different, every child is different,” he says.

Building strong foundations At the other end of the schooling pathway, Kay Simpson, Apanui School’s attendance lead gazette.education.govt.nz

teacher and learning support coordinator is working hard on establishing those relationships as children transition from early childhood to school. Most of her role is meeting four-year-olds who are about to start school and their parents and whānau. “So the importance of that from an attendance and engagement point of view is that you’re building up a relationship that will hopefully be sustainable over time. So if there are other issues – learning issues or behaviour issues or attendance issues, you’ve got a foot in the door,” says Kay.

Simon Akroyd.

Power of collaboration Jay and Brendan agree it is powerful to be approaching relationships, attendance and engagement as a team. “It’s really nice to have a collective approach now, where we’re not just speaking on behalf of Trident High School. We’re saying, our students are Whakatāne students and we’re looking at how we best support them and how we can work together.” Ramia values the opportunities to come together as a team once a fortnight.

Ramia Honatana.

“It gives us a chance to celebrate our successes, share our ideas, and collaboratively encourage each other. Because in some cases it can be a little bit taumaha – we need a little bit of support from each other and I find that we get that when we come together as a rōpū. “We’ve all got different strengths, we’ve all got different experiences, so to learn off each other is really powerful,” she says. “As a lead teacher I have all the support, the professional development and the resources that I need to run this programme effectively for my school. So, I’m loving it. The power of collaboration is probably the best way to describe it.”

SCHOOL PROPERTY Churton Park School.

Managing school property Education Gazette sat down with Kim Shannon, head of the Education Infrastructure Service (EIS) at the Ministry of Education, to talk about the challenges and opportunities that come with managing New Zealand’s school property portfolio.

ith stock valued at $31.6 billion, and capital spend of around $1 billion per year, New Zealand’s state schools and kura comprise the second largest social property portfolio in the country.

It’s a huge and complex portfolio. And it’s ageing – around a third of New Zealand’s 2,100 schools were built between 40 and 50 years ago, resulting in a constant stream of work to ensure schools are well maintained and fit for purpose. Last year alone, the Ministry built six new schools, and delivered projects at 89 schools to improve their condition or increase their capacity. “As well, there are many hundreds of projects schools run themselves thorough the funding they receive to maintain their properties. Investment through 5YA alone is $250m a year,” says Kim.

Challenges and opportunities Following the 1989 education reform Tomorrow’s Schools, it was the responsibility of each school’s board of trustees to maintain the property. As the 2019 Tomorrow’s Schools Review Taskforce report identified, while this has worked well for some schools, others have struggled with the demanding workload and managing issues like poor design, materials and workmanship. On top of the ageing portfolio and widespread weathertightness issues, the Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 caused major damage to schools and a redistribution of demand. “After the earthquakes it became really clear that we needed to have a nationally coordinated, sustainable response to managing school property,” says Kim.  “We needed to make sure that when schools were being built, they weren’t being rebuilt 10-20 years later, and that they were being built to the appropriate standard.” The establishment of the Education Infrastructure Service in 2013 signalled a shift towards a more strategic, portfolio-wide focus, introducing better support for schools to help with their property

planning. A number of programmes were subsequently developed, including the Christchurch Rebuild Programme, the Weathertightness Programme and more recently the Redevelopment Programme.

Proactive approach This work feeds into the Ministry’s newly released property strategy, Te Rautaki Rawa Kura – The School Property Strategy 2030, which outlines a proactive approach to improving school property. It sets a target of every school having quality learning environments. The Ministry is aiming to assess the condition, fitness for purpose, and operational efficiency of every school in the country over the next 10 years. “We have a target of 2030 to complete this work, but it’s going to require some really carefully thought through investment to ensure that we invest the right amount of money in the right place at the right time,” says Kim. “It is one of our objectives from an equity perspective to make sure that every school and kura is in a really good condition but it’s equally important to clarify that ‘really good’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘new and shiny’. “There are many older school buildings around New Zealand that are in excellent condition. So we’re trying to target different parts of the portfolio – small, rural, kura – to drive investment in the places it’s most needed.” Kim gives the example of a programme that is focused on ensuring that small and isolated schools have appropriate acoustics, insulation and heating.

Reference designs The implementation of the new property strategy will stretch across many different areas. It will also build on existing initiatives that are proving to be successful, like the use of reference designs for redevelopment or new build projects. gazette.education.govt.nz

Reference designs are designs that have worked well in other schools, explains Kim. “The designs we have put in place are designs by New Zealand architects who have worked with schools before. It gives schools a great starting point and makes it an easier process for schools to engage with so we can move quickly deliver the investment a school needs.” It’s a process that’s been evolving since the school rebuild programme in Christchurch following the earthquakes. “Over the past few years, we have delivered some great outcomes for schools and we have used this experience to identify designs that can be replicated elsewhere. From that, we have developed a number of reference designs that could be used across New Zealand. “And all the time we are improving our designs based on feedback from the sector.”

Prioritising investment Kim says she understands the desire to get projects completed quickly. “But it is not possible to do it all at once. We are continually prioritising and sequencing the work that needs to be done with our existing stock. And at the same time, we are purchasing land, building new schools and providing roll growth to existing schools that need more capacity.”

Te Wharekura o Nga Purapura o Te Aroha.

Many factors go into these prioritisation decisions, but building condition is a key determinant. “We’re more likely to look at a school that is in poor condition for whatever reason and try to remediate that. If we have a roll growth project and we know that there are buildings in poor condition we will try to  combine those projects together. “If there’s been really poor design, workmanship or materials, we’ll remediate those more rapidly than we would with a school that has some problems but isn’t in urgent need of repair.”

Working with communities Kim says that one of their biggest challenges is communicating with schools to let them know what is happening with their projects, and why. She says improving this process is a prime focus for the team. “While there’s a huge amount being delivered around the country, that doesn’t always mean this gets done as quickly as we would like, and I acknowledge the frustration that can cause.” The Ministry has a delivery team that is responsible for all the procurement and management involved with large and complex projects. Delivery managers are assigned to each project at a school level to help navigate any issues and facilitate the process to ensure schools are kept up to date with their project. “We are always looking at ways we can improve and provide the best possible support to schools, and I am open to new ideas about how we might do things better.”

Supplier relationships important Kim says supplier relationships are also important. “We’re spending $1 billion a year in the New Zealand construction industry so we have strong relationships with our suppliers. We work with architects, engineers, builders. We provide a pipeline of work and we have set up supplier panels for construction suppliers which will ensure the Ministry and schools know what skills are available for them to use in the projects that they’re managing,” she says. “The stewardship role of the Ministry in managing the school property portfolio means we want school property to support teaching and learning, provide benefits to local communities, and realise and sustain its value for all New Zealanders. We want this to be the case for future generations.” gazette.education.govt.nz

Te Rito Maioha’s new immersed field-based primary degree Teacher aides, school leavers, parents and others living locally will soon have a new way to become qualified primary school teachers|kaiako without having to leave their community.

his three-year Bachelor of Teaching | Tohu Paetahi Whakaako (Primary) degree is fieldbased and online delivered by Te Rito Maioha in partnership with schools. It enables student teachers | kaiako to be immersed in a school-based environment thus providing ongoing classroom experiences and confidence from schools that students once graduated are ready to teach. The programme commences in 2021 and enrolments are open now. The programme will provide a pathway to a teaching career for people who can’t access traditional tertiary education, as well as those who, for a variety of reasons, would prefer to study through field-based learning. It offers students from all corners of Aotearoa New Zealand the flexibility to study online to become primary school teachers | kaiako, while staying in their local communities. While students can enrol from anywhere in Aotearoa, a key aim of the bi-cultural, field-based programme is to help address the teaching shortage in rural areas by enabling students to gain a teaching qualification.

Programme development leader Anthony Fisher says, “In a lot of rural areas, there are young people who don’t go on to tertiary education for a number of reasons. These are often financial, in that they are unable to move away from home when the family | whānau is already under financial stress, or they may not want to move away from their support networks.” “For example, in the far north earlier this year, I was talking to a young woman who was a teacher aide. She left school at Year 13, became a teacher aide at that school and wanted to be a teacher | kaiako but did not want to move away from home.”

“We are striving to break down the barriers. Most other programmes look at people coming to central places, whereas this is different. We are working with schools to build in a lot more community support for students.”

“It takes years to build the capacity of typical behaviour within communities; if we keep our young people away from that, then there are no opportunities for them to be immersed in typical behaviour.” Simone Mullan

angiora High School’s mainstream support programme, which currently caters for 23 students with diverse needs, aims to develop connections and break down divisions between neuro-diverse and neuro-typical students. “Part of that vision comes from the fact that Rangiora is a reasonably small community and so we recognise that our students with intellectual disability are likely to remain in this community,” says Simone Mullan, head of the programme for the past four years. “The idea is that when they are adults, those people they went through school with will have businesses and families and will already have engaged with these young people through their teenage years. “So there’s not that division because they have got to know them and recognise and understand their disabilities and what they can do, rather than what they can’t do.”

Modifications have many benefits Originally modifications to the block of classrooms located in the middle of the school were planned to stop a student who was frequently absconding onto the road outside the school.

“When we first looked at planning in 2019, they said, ‘Let’s put a fence here and that will maintain safety for that young person’. I thought we had an opportunity to do much better. It was a combination of the education idea and the building idea to make everything more inclusive,” says Simone. The entrance of the mainstream support suite has been moved to the opposite end of the building to open onto a quadrangle that can be secured with fencing along the school boundary. A covered verandah has been added and the classrooms were reconfigured. “They opened up the side of the school, put in double doors and a big verandah with a very large open area which can feed into the rest of the school but not onto the road. That had a massive impact because it invited the entire school to use that place as a thoroughfare. “The verandah also gives a vantage point to our students because they can see everything which gives them a perspective, but they are safe and comfortable in their space on that verandah,” explains Simone. The school’s business and property manager, David Lowe, says the Ministry of Education’s project managers, architects, engineers and

contractors worked alongside school staff and Learning Support to design and build the modifications, which have exceeded expectations. The five-metre-wide verandah extends the length of the classrooms and features strengthened beams to hang sensory swings and equipment to help students with autism to centre and calm themselves. “We have also included water and sand therapy, which our students use a lot. We’ve brought it out onto the verandah so that they can use it as they need to,” says Simone. “They can spend 15 minutes in an hour-long lesson getting themselves regulated using sensory therapy before they can come in and do some of their lesson. Or if they have been out in mainstream, they can come back to that environment where they can regulate themselves again.”

Structure and flexibility The programme occupies a block that includes three classroom areas, a universal school bathroom and a separate quiet space.

“All of those three classrooms can be opened up to be universal or they can be closed off to create independent spaces, so there are opportunities to mix it up depending on the needs of the students. The design works so that our young people, who like structure and routine, have the same teachers working in each of the three spaces but the students are able to go where they need to.”

Sensory overload “There is a sensory room for our sensory programme, a key competency room and a transition room. It’s all multi-age level depending on where the students fit and sometimes this can change by the day,” says Simone. At one time, there was artwork on the walls, but the Lighthouse Programme’s team of Simone, three teachers and nine learning assistants found that the artwork contributed to sensory overload for many of the students. The refurbished suite now has nothing hanging on the walls, which are covered with Autex, an acoustic wall covering. “The Autex improves the sound because a lot of our students are sound sensitive and the

schooling years learning to manage school routines and systems and can miss out on important socialisation skills.

Making connections

“What happens at high school is that we start to introduce that inclusivity so they have opportunities to observe and learn from their peers and look at mainstream behaviour. It takes years to build the capacity of typical behaviour within communities; if we keep our young people away from that, then there are no opportunities for them to be immersed in typical behaviour.

As well as some mainstream students regularly having lunch on the verandah, Simone says students who now have friends in the mainstream can more easily access them without the need to be supervised. “A couple of different groups of students come in and regularly have lunch on the verandah and our students who know them will mix with them. “They are mainly our more senior students who have been in mainstream classes since Year 9. That gives an understanding of how long inclusion can take because both parties need to manage that inclusion. So, we need our students in that space and we need our mainstream students learning how to understand, manage and see that young person for who they are, not their disability.”

Encouraging inclusion Simone says that young people with intellectual disabilities may begin their early

“Rather than keeping people away and ‘safe’, we are actually including them, observing and providing social coaching. It’s taken four years to develop that integration where it’s normal to see our young people given that opportunity to redirect their learning and behaviour in a positive way so they can make changes over time,” she says.

School commitment to integration Rangiora High School has added a leadership position – school captain of the mainstream support programme: a neuro-typical student who visits on a regular basis.

“The young woman doing it this year has come in as a learner and works alongside those young people who have taken a shine to her. “We also have a number of young men who respond very positively to other teenage young men and some of our First XV boys come and mentor them. We can call one of those big young men in an emergency or to just chat with one of our young men and help them stay calm because they respond so positively.”

Living breathing space “The property modifications and refurbishment are a direct result of observation of the Lighthouse Programme’s students and their needs,” says Simone. “The systems we have in place mean that students who want to explore further in the school have that opportunity and students that need close monitoring can also be monitored carefully. “You walk in and it feels like a living, breathing space. It flows. The verandah has created almost another classroom-type space; it’s connected to the other verandah, which contains the school hall and leads directly into our big Year 9 learning space. It’s just beautiful – it feels great.”

Teacher kōrero Q: What did you think when you first saw the changes made to the classroom block? A: The new design is brilliant for helping our students become more independent as they move to a space that best suits their learning at any one time. Q: What do you like/dislike about the modifications? A: Everything from moveable walls to doorhandles has been adapted to make life a little easier for all. The students with physical disabilities can move more freely and independently from one space to another. The walls are clear of overwhelming visuals in the learning spaces. This helps our students with ADHD and ASD stay calm. Sensory stimulation and tactile activity spaces help engage more students. Sound proofing and audio amplification help those with hearing impediments. Q: How does the new layout help the Lighthouse Programme? A: We have happier students who are far more independent and more motivated to engage in purposeful learning. This makes teaching so enjoyable and rewarding at Rangiora High School.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Upgrade enables collaborative spaces A West Auckland school has brought its 1950s buildings into the 21st century with a little extra help from the School Investment Package.

rahoe Primary School first opened in 1958 and principal Richard Limbrick says the latest upgrade of a six-classroom block into an innovative learning environment (ILE) for the middle school – Ara Pakeke – marks the completion of the school’s most significant building upgrade in its 60-year history. “This latest upgrade will future-proof the school. Our latest 5YA was approved in July 2018, the project started in November 2019 and was finished in late July 2020,” explains Richard.

Extensive renovation Work on the school’s Ara Pakeke block has been extensive. The 700sqm traditionally designed six classroom block has been reconfigured, resulting in two collaborative learning spaces plus two additional breakout spaces. Bathroom facilities have also been upgraded. “The School Investment Package funding has allowed us to fully develop the two breakout spaces one of which has been fitted out as a food technology / wet area, now also home for our breakfast club,” says Richard. He believes the building projects have worked out costeffective on a dollar/square metre basis. “You wouldn’t build a new space of this size for the cost of the renovations. Yet for all intents and purposes it is ‘as new’, with a new roof, recladding, all new double glazing, insulation, rewiring and earthquake proofing,” he says.

“In this cycle of 5YA, we made this our major project so we were able to complete the upgrade of the block. It’s basically been rebuilt from the walls up – reframed, reclad and brought into current code. There wouldn’t have been enough money in the 5YA to complete some aspects of the building. The school investment package couldn’t have come at a better time; for us, it was pennies from heaven,” he says. The building upgrade project began in 2008 when the school frontage was renovated. “We replaced all the joinery down the front face of the building but we also had to install new foundations and incorporate universal design entry aspects in entryways and into classrooms. It probably looked like the block had been given a considerable upgrade but it was only the façade,” explains Richard. The School Investment Package (SIP) was announced by the Government in December 2019, providing most state schools with one-off funding to help them accelerate upgrade works that would otherwise be deferred due to a lack of available funds. “Originally, we were looking at having to scale the project back because the costs were more than our 5YA but we were going to be able to at least complete the outside structure, leaving some of the interior to be finished when we could afford it. The investment package allowed us to complete the project to a higher standard than we would have been able to afford if we hadn’t had it,” he says.

Commitment to collaboration

Sustainable extras

As far back as 1997, a two-classroom block was converted into a three-room ILE for new entrants, so it resembled an early learning centre.

The investment package also allowed the school to spend money on some extra initiatives which included a tank water supply so that the toilets in this block are grey water flush.

“Our focus then was on seamless transitions from early childhood to school,” explains Richard.

“Being approximately 60 percent self-sufficient in water usage has been a school goal for about the last 10 years and so we try to build those aspects into our projects. If we don’t have to spend our own board funds on the build, we can then add those extras which we have identified.”

“We have a commitment to the notion of collaborative practice. If you take the concept of student agency, then it’s not only how we upskill our teachers and develop our programmes to achieve that, but we also have to think about how we facilitate it with our tamariki. There are many elements to collaborative learning and an ILE gives it a physical framework which enables these to be developed,” he says. The rebuild confirms the school’s commitment to working towards a future-focused vision with an emphasis on collaborative endeavor, learner agentic behaviour and student voice. “The upgrade has really marched us on down that road to being a school where ILEs are the norm. In the last three years nearly half the school has been converted including an eight-room equivalent ILE for the senior school. This is big for our community as the majority of our classrooms were built between 1958 and the mid-1960s,” says Richard.

Students and phones: should they have access at school? Should students be able to access their mobile phones during the school day? Education Gazette talks to three schools with different approaches to students’ use of phones.

t’s up to schools to determine their own policies and practices around students’ use of mobile phones and other devices, working with their communities to determine the best paths forward.

Going phone-free Auckland’s Glendowie College decided to go ‘cellphone-free’ from the start of this year. Upon receiving a growing number of requests from parents for restrictions on students’ use of mobile phones at the college, the school took a fresh look at phone use among its students. It noted, from an informal count, that at least 50 per cent of students were on their phones at interval or lunchtime. After doing some further research and consulting with its Board of Trustees, the school opted to go phone-free for all students during the school day, from the start of 2020. “We are doing this because we are concerned about our students’ wellbeing and believe that adolescents need space from their cellphones– not because cellphones are bad,” says principal Gordon Robertson.

Research and engagement He points to research discussed in the book Teen Brain by David Gillespie. “This research matches our experience of cellphones, and their impact on students’ wellbeing and academic engagement in class.” Gordon says that, so far, the school is happy with the way the new policy has progressed. “Coming back from both lockdowns, it took students a few days to get used to not having continual access to their phones. “Student social engagement with each other is greater than last year, with more being active on the field or engaging in activities with other students. “Many students would prefer access to their phones during the day but the vast majority comply with the rules.”

Encouraging sensible use Meanwhile, Albany Senior High School has chosen a different approach, preferring to encourage sensible use by students rather than banning devices. “Basically, I believe we are supporting young adults to self-manage, so they should have their phones but also learn how to ensure they don’t become distractions,” says principal Claire Amos. She clarifies that teachers always have the right to ask students to put them away or look after the phone for them if they can’t selfmanage. “Students have a lifetime of device ownership ahead. I think we need to be realistic that they can be learning tools and that young people can learn to manage them,” she says.

Students help shape policy Rangitoto College took the views of its students into account when forming its policies around students’ cellphone use. The Auckland school used focus groups of students from Year 9 to 13 as part of its review process, as well as looking at effective school practices from both New Zealand and overseas. “We wanted a policy that was flexible enough to allow students to have phones at school, but robust enough to minimise classroom distraction,” says Associate Principal Tony Giles. “We also engaged with current research which suggests that the mere presence of phones reduces cognitive capacity – even in bags or pockets, the proximity of the device has a negative impact, especially if it’s receiving notifications or alerts.” The school’s resulting policy is designed to ensure that the learning of all students is maximised, while minimising any potential for distraction. If students choose to bring a cellphone, it must be switched to ‘silent’ and deposited in the ‘cellphone box’ at the start of each and every class. At the discretion of the teacher, students may be allowed to access

their phones for learning-related activities, such as using the camera, stopwatch or calculator. Tony says students, particularly juniors, adapted very quickly to the new routine of handing in their phone each lesson. “Seniors took a little longer to adapt, but it’s now fully embedded across the school, to the extent it’s just another automatic routine for students. Teachers still however regularly remind students of the ‘why’, actively teaching students the benefits of selfregulation, although students understand all too well the addictive and manipulative nature of social media apps.” Teachers have found the policy to be extremely helpful, adds Tony. “On-task learning time has improved, especially for those identified as priority learners. Students are more engaged with their work, more focussed on what is going on in class, and generally happier with their school experience.”

Community focus Schools are encouraged to work with their students and communities to devise policies and practices around phone use that are right for them and support the wellbeing of their students. Netsafe also provides support to schools about online safety. They have developed a range of guidance for schools around student use of school-owned devices and staff guidelines for the safe use of digital technology.   “Our Netsafe Schools programme lays out a framework to review, check and plan for enhancing online safety in schools, whether that be through incident response services, policy and use agreement templates and advice or professional development for staff, boards of trustees or the wider school community,” says Sean Lyons, director of education and engagement, Netsafe.

Keeping safe online One of the major concerns about young people’s use of phones relates to online bullying. Here are several resources that can help schools address online bullying: » Bullying Free New Zealand Student Voice for ways to empower young people to deal with cyber bullying » Netsafe for ways to stay safe online » Keep It Real Online for advice on managing difficult conversations such as online grooming, pornography, harmful digital content and online bullying. Anyone who experiences harm through digital communications is encouraged to contact Netsafe for advice and support.

EARLY LEARNING

Child’seye view of urban design A two-year project by University of Otago researchers has investigated preschoolers’ experiences of Dunedin and their visions for their city and found that they can be intuitive planners of their urban environments.

wo projects (one finished, one on-going) investigate pre-schoolers’ city use, experiences and understandings to build a foundation for planners and urban professionals to acknowledge pre-schoolers’ needs and rights in creating more liveable cities. In the initial research, which began in 2015, children from three Dunedin kindergartens engaged in a variety of exercises including mapping their ideal city using picture tiles, group discussions with researchers, and neighbourhood walks to demonstrate what they liked and didn’t like about their local area. The mapping exercise showed the children to be caring, considerate planners, not just of their own needs, but also of other city dwellers. Early this year, the second research project began with tamariki from Rainbow Preschool in South Dunedin having an opportunity to explore their neighbourhoods and planning skills. Lead author Dr Christina Ergler from the university’s School of Geography, says the research shows that young children are capable of interpreting city design meaningfully. “Our research shows that preschoolers care for the cities they live in: people and living and non-living things,” says Christina. “What impressed us is that they think very holistically about their city – not just about needs for kids – but actually for the entire population. “They showed they were thinking about the transport system. Housing was really important and thinking about needing different types of housing because family sizes differ from

single families to extended families. They also had heaps of services from hospitals, police stations, fire stations, schools and libraries,” she says.

Exploring the local environment

The way children think holistically about city planning supports their learning in the Mana Whenua/ Belonging strand of Te Whāriki where they become increasingly capable of making connections between people, places and things in their world. They also develop a relationship to Papatūānuku based on whakapapa, respect and aroha.

“Christina had a lot of railroads, planes, shops, all the resources they could put into their city and they did amazing things. One child took a couple of days to build his city. They were able to connect to their world and then replicate that on a floor map, which I thought was quite cool,” explains Lesley.

Child voice important Merewyn Arlidge, senior teacher at Rainbow Preschool, says teachers and parents were interested in being involved in the project, as the research on child voice and the input preschoolers can have in their communities is important.

Tamariki involved in the study enjoyed being explorers connecting to their own, and the wider, world, says colleague Lesley Greenan.

“There’s quite a variety of learning such as using trial and error: ‘how’s my train going to get to the other side of town?’ or ‘where do I want my train to stop?’ They are thinking logically, explaining to others, planning, setting problems, classifying. Using the working theories, they are really thinking about their world.”

“Preschoolers are a big part of our community. Young children are using a lot of the resources like museums and swimming pools, and they go shopping with parents, so it’s really important to hear their ideas. Sometimes they come up with quite refreshing new ideas or reasons for thinking things could be the way they are,” she says.

Kaiako at Rainbow Preschool weren’t surprised at the depth of understanding children showed about their urban environment.

“In early childhood we’re all about listening to child’s voice and helping to develop their working theories about, not only what happens in preschool, but in their wider world. They develop holistic capabilities through individual learning goals, provocations and experiences set up for children to expand their learning.

“In our day-to-day conversations with children, their areas of interest are wide and varied and they are very used to sharing their ideas and what they know about the world. We facilitate to build on that knowledge all of the time.

“We could see that this study was another way of enriching children’s learning and a vehicle to be able to hear their ideas about things.”

“For some of the children, it was a vehicle for them to share knowledge in things they were already interested in and knew,” says Merewyn.

“It was a bit different from what they had done before, but we weren’t surprised that they really did have some good ideas around what they thought was needed,” she says. gazette.education.govt.nz

EARLY LEARNING

Large-scale thinking Christina says the children in the first project that focused on Dunedin showed they had understanding and clear ideas about the connections in cities. After the children had built their cities with picture tiles, they took the researchers on tours of their neighbourhoods. Armed with GoPros, the children showed researchers that they were meaningful makers of place and had deep connections to their local environments through the Mana Whenua/Belonging strand. While on the neighbourhood walks, the children warned researchers about toadstools, prickly bushes, and glass on footpaths, which they were concerned could injure dogs. “They are very aware of dangers and adults’ fears for their wellbeing and that cities can be dangerous places. In this they reflect adult fears rather than seeing these places as dangerous from their own perspectives,” explains study co-author Professor Claire Freeman.

Curriculum connections The children at Rainbow Preschool demonstrated their growing capability in the

Te Whāriki strand of Mana atua/Wellbeing as they talked with the researcher about their awareness of their environment and the ways they could keep themselves and others safe from harm.

“In early childhood we’re all about listening to child’s voice and helping to develop their working theories about not only what happens in preschool, but in their wider world.” Merewyn Arlidge Toolkit for town planners Recipients of a Marsden Fund Grant in 2018, Christina and her team are conducting further research in Dunedin, Christchurch and Wellington to gain a better insight about

what it’s like to be a four-year-old in our cities. “Our ultimate goal is to try to develop a tool set for anyone who makes decisions in cities on how to consult with children. If they don’t have time to consult, our aim is to raise awareness about the needs of young children and their perspectives. “Academically we want to think about their agency and to examine how young children shape their lives themselves. Part of the Marsden grant is that we have money to invite people to workshops where we can share our findings and workshop with them what would be good ways for them to easily incorporate into their decision making or planning projects. “Communities, planners and urban policy makers need to ensure young children can participate and make the most of their local environment in a safe manner,” she says. The research highlights the importance of young children being engaged in making meaningful contributions to their communities and aligns with Te Whāriki as a framework that describes children’s valued learning in early learning settings.

WATER SAFETY

Beach and water safety important Surf Lifesaving New Zealand works with schools and communities to deliver effective beach and water safety education for young people.

Fun and safety go hand-in-hand at Beach Education.

“Because we live by the beach and our kids spend all their time there, it’s so important for them to be able to identify things like rips for themselves.” Stormie Ivamy

Education Gazette | 26 Gazette | 12 October October2020 2020

s an island nation, New Zealand is blessed with approximately 15,000km of beautiful coastline. But our coastline is also the scene of too many fatal drownings. Over the last decade, there has been an average of 32 fatal drownings per year across Aotearoa, a rate that has increased by 37 per cent over the last five years. “The numbers are just continuing to rise,” says Nicole Harris from Surf Lifesaving New Zealand. In her role as Community Education Coordinator for the Eastern region she feels strongly about equipping children with the skills they need to know to stay safe on the beach and in the water. “We just need to make sure that we’re getting into the schools and educating the kids on things that are relatively simple, such as how to spot a rip current and how to practise safe and fun ocean activities.”

Full-day interactive course Surf Lifesaving New Zealand’s Beach Education programme is a full-day interactive course delivered by fully qualified Surf Lifeguards at select beaches across the country. The programme – which includes clubhouse, beach

Thumbs up for a day at the beach!

and water activities – is designed to provide practical water skills to new entrant students to Year 8 students, for groups of between 30 and 100. “Beach Ed tailors its programme to suit the year levels of the students who attend,” says Nicole. “The core topics – such as Rip Currents, Sun Smart, Safety Rules – remain the same,

but the depth of the topic and associated activities vary to suit the age range. For instance, Years 0-2 will be introduced to the first three of 10 safety rules, whereas five rules will be incorporated into the Year 3-4 programme, and Years 5 and up will learn all 10.” Continued on next page >>

We’re taking bookings now for FREE teacher professional development so you can teach your students Water Skills for Life. Water Skills for Life is the national standard for aquatic education for children in Years 1 - 8. If your school has a pool, then our educators are available to deliver onsite teacher workshops and poolside support.

Kids have fun and learn water safety.

WATER SAFETY

The water activities are also adjusted to suit. For example, to learn about submersion, younger students participate in a water activity where waves wash over them in the sand at the water’s edge; older students participate in a water activity that teaches them the skill of dolphin diving (a technique involving submersion under the waves and pushing off the bottom).

Beach-safe techniques Children are taught how to be beach safe, using materials that align with the competencies of Water Skills for Life, the national standard for aquatic education in New Zealand primary schools. The Beach Education programme also aligns with the key competencies of The New Zealand Curriculum of thinking, managing self, relating to others and participating and contributing, and encourages students to think critically. It feeds into the Health and Physical Education curriculum, aligning with other water safety programmes such as Bubbles to Buoyancy and H2O - Here We Go; these Curriculum in Action resources are available on health.tki.org.nz.

Invaluable at Pāpāmoa Primary School For schools like Pāpāmoa Primary School in the Bay of Plenty, the beach education programme is invaluable. “Because we live by the beach and our kids spend all their time there it’s so important for them to be able to identify things like rips for themselves,” says teacher, Stormie Ivamy. “They get taught to signal for help, how to keep themselves safe in the water, and the role of the lifeguard. It’s so good for our kids to have an understanding of the hazards and the people there to help.”

Students learn what surf lifesaving is all about.

Pāpāmoa Primary includes the Beach Ed programme in its Health and Physical Education curriculum every two years, alternating it with a Deep Water Safety programme.

“Because our adult to child ratios around the water are 1:4, we take a lot of parents on the programme, which is fantastic because it really reinforces our message and provides that parent voice and parent support.”

Parents’ involvement

Support from families and the community is important, agrees Nicole.

“Every two years we go through a community consultation process regarding our health programmes, and beach education is an area that supports our philosophy of personal health and physical development and healthy communities and environments,” says Stormie.

“Often a student will come back as a Year 2, and then a Year 3 and Year 4, and they love to tell a story about how they went home and taught their sibling about such and such. And so it really does show this whole idea of ‘train one to save many’.”

Beach Education provides key learning for the students, as well as the parent helpers who attend.
