Greetings to all learners, all families and our community. Welcome to the woven learning mat of Manawatu College. Here you will find the support for all learners to build for a strong resilient future. Welcome to the college of Manaakitanga. Come and attain success. To you, our leaders of tomorrow, come bring your personal best!

Manawatu ¯ College welcomes the opportunity to be involved in the education of your son  or daughter. This prospectus is designed to inform you about the College and what it has to offer. How does this happen? Students succeed together because Manawatu¯ College works in partnership with wha¯nau and the community to provide students with the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills, self esteem and attitudes needed to adapt to an increasingly changing world. We view learning as being enjoyable, challenging and meaningful so that our students are inspired to become highly motivated and active participants in the learning process. This is expressed in our motto:  “Haere i tou kaha – Personal Best”. Students are supported as we embed a culture of success by actively encouraging and celebrating academic, leadership, cultural and sporting achievement. 1

Restorative processes address behavioural issues in a way designed to “put things right” and strengthen relationships. This allows students to learn and develop the skills required for personal and collective development. Students are cared for within our MANA programme where a key value we hold as vital is that of respect. The MANA programme is alive in every classroom, every relationship, every communication and in our environment. Our focus is on the changing and varying needs of every student. We celebrate our diversity, seeing it as strength and as a powerful tool for educating the whole person and growing good citizens who celebrate life, accept differences and develop into active, independent and caring New Zealanders.

Our Juniors are enjoying school They enjoy learning and achieving, interacting with other students and with staff and taking advantage of the new opportunities and facilities the College has to offer. The students can speak for themselves: I love PE and all the sporting opportunities that Manawatu¯ College offers. Inter-House sports is great! Music and Drama are also really cool because you get to learn lots and have fun while you’re learning. It is easy to make friends here.

Manawatu¯ College is a great environment, full of friendly students and welcoming teachers. We already knew the school and some of the teachers before we started in Year 9 because of Orientation Day and also coming here for Technology in Years 7 & 8.

Ethan Hughes

Tempestt Pitcher & Hannah Pickworth Manawatu¯ College has a warm and welcoming environment. The students and teachers are all very friendly. The College lets you be who you are and will help you through any education improvements needed. Another good thing about this College is that the classes are small and you get a lot of one-on-one time with the teachers and also develop good friendships with class mates. Our teachers also help us set and review our goals and push to achieve them. Miniah Summerall

I really enjoy it here at Manawatu¯ College. It is fun! It is a very friendly school and I am learning lots. It provides all the sports that I like, and also a cool kapa haka group.

We have found Manawatu¯ College to be a great environment to be in, full of friendly staff and welcoming students. We have made new friends and we are enjoying college life and all the opportunities it offers.

Trevor Chambers

The teachers here really want you to succeed and get you to reach your goals. Dahlene Borthwich & Kendall Bambery

Some thoughts from Seniors I have been at Manawatu¯ College since the beginning of Year 9, and I am really enjoying my time here. A major reason for why Manawatu¯ College is such a good school is the strong relationship between the students and staff. My teachers help us achieve well and develop to be the young person I want to be. They make sure we can excel and do our best in academic, cultural and sporting fields.

I am proud to be part of Manawatu¯ College and I look forward to representing it as well as I can in my final two years. Since starting Manawatu¯ College in Year 9 I have seen massive changes and improvements which have benefited me. My experiences at Manawatu¯ College have all been positive, both academically and sporting. The teachers are great and they all strive to make sure we can achieve to our full potential.

The College continues to grow and improve in many ways. It offers many opportunities and I personally believe it is a great environment to be educated in. I am proud to be part of Manawatu¯ College.

Manawatu¯ College has been amazing ever since I started in Year 9. This school has the best environment I’ve experienced for learning. The bond between the students and teachers makes it easier to learn as it’s like another friend pushing you to succeed. Manawatu¯ College provides a wide range of opportunities so there will always be a subject that catches your interest for the future. Everyone is helping you to reach to your full potential. Mallory Olsen Manawatu¯ College provides many amazing opportunities, enabling us as students to grow, gain more skills and be better people, set up for our adult lives.

The love, support and encouragement that Manawatu¯ College has shown us since year 9 is something we will forever cherish. We have watched not only ourselves, but our peers grow to become smart, confident and driven students who have learned to be proud of who we are and what we accomplish.

Some of the opportunities we have taken advantage of have pushed us well out of our comfort zone, like being part of the Spirit of NZ Team Challenge voyage.

The relationships that we have made here between our peers and teachers have only made our role as Head Students all the more incredible. The friendly, welcoming nature of our school and teachers, helps the students learn and excel in their studies and passions. Our teachers go the extra mile to ensure we believe that we CAN achieve all our dreams and aspirations no matter how big or small. They help us bring our dreams to life or set us up to do so in the future.

McKenzie Laursen & Connor Thwaites Manawatu¯ College, being such a small school, is great for building close friendships and finding your place amongst others. Everyone knows everyone and the smaller classes make it easier for teachers to connect with their students, making you feel a part of a team.

Although we are small, our school is unique and it only enhances our close ties with one another and extends the variety of opportunities our students are offered. The opportunities for us as not only Head Students, but everyday people to be able to connect with our peers and community more than what you would at a larger school, is one of the key features of Manawatu¯ College that we do not take for granted.

Meghan Davenport

We can’t be more thankful for the lessons and opportunities that our college has taught and given us. We are proud to be a part of Manawatu¯ College. Callum Thwaites & Emma Tufuga

Parents are pleased with the College Manawatu¯ College is a school with strong links to the community which helps foster relationships with community groups, future employers and others. Their MAC programme promotes the importance of good learning and study practices from day one that both reward and encourage students through the duration of their time at the College. The available subject choices are varied and they support programmes both internally and externally that promote and extend students both academically, in sporting and life skills. We believe all our children have benefited greatly from the professional and supportive staff at the College, giving them greater opportunities as they start their lives beyond college. Paul and Alison Davenport

We think that Manawatu¯ College offers a great range of academic subjects and sporting and cultural activities. Ever since our daughter started in 2013, She has reached every goal possible with amazing guidance and support from her teachers. We have never looked back at the decision we have made for our kids to attend Manawatu¯ College. It has been by far the best decision we have made. Alexcia Knowles Whaitiri & Basica Whaitiri

MANA makes a difference ‘The MANA positive guidance programme underpins school practices. The programme is focused on building student engagement with learning and school. Restorative practices are emphasised. MANA has contributed to a positive school tone where relationships are more respectful, school pride is promoted and students benefit from an improved learning environment.”

MANA is about Respect. Respect for others, Respect for our environment and Respect for ourselves. Manaakitanga: Support and caring for each other as we grow and learn Aspire:

Set goals, take action and strive for personal excellence

Ngai Tatou:

Accept and support everyone as part of the team

Achievement: Take pride in our success

Manaakitanga - “We will work with our community to enhance student-centred partnerships to enable all students to reach their full potential” The Year Level Deans have oversight of the administration associated with their level e.g.: new enrolments, subject changes, exam entries.

A caring and supportive school Manawatu¯ College has a proud reputation as an effectively functioning school community. In part, this is because there is a considerable emphasis placed on establishing positive relationships between students and staff.

The Deputy Principal has overall responsibility for pastoral care and discipline in the College. The College has a Counselor, who helps students and their families by: • offering specialised counseling services and advice when needed • helping them find their own good solutions to problems • finding ways to help them do their best

Behaviour guidelines are clearly established and consistently enforced so that students have a clear understanding of our expectations. I n this way we establish a safe and positive learning environment for all students. The foundation of the Pastoral Care System is the Mentor Group. The Groups are vertically-structured, with a small number of students from each year level in each Mentor Group. This vertical structure enables pupils to build supporting relationships with students of different ages. Students will stay in the same Mentor Group, generally with the same Mentor Teacher, right through their time at Manawatu¯ College. Siblings are placed in the same group, unless they ask not to be. The Mentor Groups meet for a short time most days. An important role of the Mentor Teachers is to mentor their students, with an emphasis on setting and regularly reviewing their academic, career and extracurricular goals.

Life to the Max provides a full-time Youth Worker whose primary role is to transition those students who need assistance into life beyond school. A part-time School Nurse is available in our new Hauora Centre to see any student, and a doctor is in attendance once a fortnight. Careers Advisers provide vocational support for students comprising organised programmes and visits, speakers, and individual assistance provided by mentors.

“A mentoring system provides good support, monitoring and encouragement for students.” Page 6, 2014 ERO Report

Peer Support Leaders are assigned to all Year 9 students when they first start at College. The leaders are trained Year 11 and Year 12 students who meet with their Year 9s to help in their transition to College.

The Mentor Groups are organised into Houses – Allen, Field, Morris and Robertson. The House Deans and Assistant House Deans have oversight of the pastoral care of the students in their Houses. They monitor academic achievement, behaviour, attendance and all-round progress.

A Learning Support Centre provides support for those who need • remedial assistance • to study by distance learning • to do ‘catch-up’ work

Aspire - “All students are engaged in their learning and achieving educational success” To increase the motivation of our juniors to achieve their full potential the College has established:

MAC – the Manawatu ¯ College Junior Certificate of Educational Achievement What does MAC do? • it trains students in good work and attendance habits, and rewards students for consistent effort. • it sets out a basic level of effort and achievement t hat a student must reach. • it encourages students to set goals and monitor their achievement. • it prepares students for NCEA in the senior school. Our seniors have been doing far better in NCEA since MAC was introduced. What is required? Students in Year 9 and Year 10 need to obtain at least 60% of the possible credits in order to graduate to their next year level. Those who fail to meet these requirements will need to attend catch-up school on Saturdays and holidays. MAC credits are awarded in two categories: (i) Effort – students need to complete work and key assignments in each subject to the best of their ability. (ii) Academic Performance – the key assignments and tests need to be completed to a standard which is satisfactory or better in terms of national assessment standards. MAC recognizes able students by having the extra levels of “Merit” and “Excellence” in the category of academic performance. We chose these two categories to make it fair. It means that a student with limited ability can still gain over 60% of the available credits and graduate to the next year level by attending regularly and working to the best of their ability.

What does the student gain? A Manawatu¯ College Junior Certificate of Educational Achievement will be awarded at the end-of-year Junior Prizegiving to all Year 9 and Year 10 students who meet these standards. Each certificate will detail the percentage of credits gained. Those students who gain at least 15 academic credits at merit and excellence will have their certificate appropriately endorsed. Since its introduction, Year 9 students have on average gained 82% of the available credits, with the Year 10 students averaging 80%. Approximately 10 juniors graduate with 100% each year. 7

What do students think of MAC? I think MAC is a really good system because everyone has a chance to achieve. They don’t have to be the best – they just have to try their hardest. MAC has pushed me to achieve to a high standard. Payton-Storm Ratana I think MAC has made a huge impact on me this year. It makes me go that extra mile and always keeps me on track. Gene-Paul Greig

I like the MAC system because it keeps us on task, working hard for the whole year and challenges us to do our best. It also is getting me ready for NCEA. Brock Dykstra I think MAC is a great way of making us achieve at our best. It also prepares us well for NCEA in the senior school. Ashdyn Thwaites

I think that MAC has provided me with inspiration and determination to do well and achieve my goals. It has also provided great opportunities for teacher to parent interaction so that the adults around me can support and help me achieve my MAC goals. Vettori Whaitiri MAC had a huge impact on my two years as a junior. It made me work hard and achieve to the highest standard possible. It was great preparation for NCEA. Domonic Blight One of the things that I think is good at Manawatu¯ College is the MAC system. I like MAC because it makes me work hard to try and get 100% in it. The more effort I put in, the better I feel when I achieve to the best of my ability. It is also a good goal-setting experience. Shelby Wells

I think MAC is helping me a lot. It’s a good system because it is helping Year 9 and 10’s to achieve the highest we can. It is making me study and work harder to earn as many credits as possible and reach my goal. Jaden Skipper

Achievement - “Our students will gain academic success as literate, numerate and inquiry learners” Our Seniors are achieving well too! Our Participation NCEA pass rates, averaged over the last two years, are as follows: • 80% of Year 11s gained Level 1 • 81% of Year 12s gained Level 2 • 81% of Year 13s gained Level 3 For year 11, our average Level 1 Literacy pass rate for the last two years is 93%, and our Level 1 Numeracy pass rate is 92%.

Small class sizes Another special feature of Manawatu¯ College that many comment upon is the small class sizes – right through the school. Over the last six years junior classes have averaged 18 and senior NCEA classes have averaged 12 in size.

“Class sizes are small and positive interactions between teachers and students evident. Students appreciate the inclusive culture, family atmosphere and positive relationships in the college.” Page 3, 2014 ERO Report 11

Facilities The developments in teaching and learning have been matched with the required facilities and resources. This has occurred as planning has ensured that positive changes to allow students to achieve their ‘personal best’. At present there are more than one digital device per student. New classroom environments have been developed to allow for more student centred learning.

The facilities include: • warm, attractive, carpeted classrooms • modern and well-equipped Technology rooms • a well-stocked Library with CD-ROM network and Internet access • five networked Computer Suites with Internet access • the Hauora Centre, staffed by a part-time nurse • a Music suite • a well-resourced Learning Support Centre • a modern gymnasium • a weight training/circuit room • a swimming pool • a Career Development Centre • an all-weather cricket wicket & practice nets • video conferencing 12

Ngai Tatou - “All members of staff are reflective practitioners who are committed to a shared understanding of effective pedagogy in relation to students’ needs” Cultural and sporting activities In addition to our emphasis on having students fulfil their academic potential, Manawatu¯ College encourages all students to participate and succeed in some of a wide range of sporting and cultural activities.

The whole school events that currently generate House Points are: • Swimming and athletic sports • Cross-country • The summer and winter sports competitions • The waiata and haka competitions • Academic awards

15

Strong links with our community Manawatu ¯ College is proud of the strong relationship it enjoys with its community: • Working to promote the effective use of Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom. • Programmes of learning help our students gain a deeper understanding of our local community. • Significant involvement in the three ANZAC Day ceremonies. • Winners of the College speech competitions deliver their speeches to community groups. • PE students regularly referee primary school sports tournaments. • Students develop useful skills on work experience out in the community through the Gateway programme. • Members of our community provide coaching and other support when needed for groups such as Kapa Haka and sports teams. • There is extensive use of school facilities by a variety of community groups, including the local primary schools. • The College works in partnership with the Foxton Rotary Club to put all Year 12 students through the Rotary Youth Driving Awareness Programme each year, and to send students on RYPEN and RYLA programmes. • Each year Manawatu¯ College has teams of students and staff members participating in the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, raising up to $3,000 each year through sponsorship. • Hosting the Pa¯ Harakeke Matariki Symposium

16

Leadership Development Programme Manawatu¯ College has put in place a comprehensive Leadership Development Programme for Year 10 to 13 students. The programme is designed to develop or enhance the skills needed to become effective leaders and serve various groups in which our students find themselves. The Programme is open to all students. Those interested in joining the programme will need to go through an application and selection process. Applicants will need to make a commitment of time and energy over the course of the year to be fully involved in an ongoing training programme (including camps) and to use their skills and abilities to serve in whatever capacity they are required. Leadership programmes are designed to encourage self-reflection and personal development.

The Year 10 Junior Leaders Programme The Junior Leaders run lunchtime activities and are also involved in other service opportunities such as helping on Orientation Day and guiding groups of visitors on our Open Evening.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award Programme

Student Representative on the Board of Trustees

All students have the opportunity to take part in this programme, which involves physical challenges, voluntary community service, learning a new skill and playing sport.

This position is filled by election every September. All students, apart from exchange students, are eligible for nomination.

Normally the Bronze Award is done in Year 10, the Silver in Year 11 and Gold in Years 12 & 13. 2016 saw Manawatu¯ College gain its first Gold Award. Kyle Williams-Simeon was presented his Award by The Governor General at Government House.

Year 11 & 12 Peer Support Leaders Peer Support, with its focus on Year 9 students and helping them settle into College, is the responsibility of Year 11 & 12 student leaders. The training and practical experience Peer Support Leaders gain throughout their year develops their caring, listening, supporting and guiding skills. Peer Support Leaders foster the values of MANA for new students.

Being part of the Leadership Development Programme at Manawatu¯ College has helped me develop the important skills needed to work better with other people – the adults in my life as well as other teenagers. I have had many opportunities to do things I wouldn’t normally get to do, such as going on the Spirit of Adventure Team Challenge for five days with nine other Junior Leaders. I also have completed my Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Awards. At the start of my Year 13 year I went on a three week Outward Bound course, which was generously sponsored by Rotary. Kyle Williams-Simeon

Senior Students Leaders There are also many other leadership opportunities for senior students: • House Leaders & Captains • Student Council Leaders • International Captain • Arts Captain • Academic Captain • Sports Captain • Head Student 18

Most years we appoint two to many of the positions and/or appoint deputies. Seniors need to apply and go through a selection process for these positions. The office holders play a significant role in the life of the College. They are mentored in their roles by senior staff members.

Education outside of the Classroom The purpose of the College’s Outdoor Education Programme is to provide the opportunity for students to enhance their social and leadership skills and their appreciation of new environments. Curriculum field trips are an important part of the College calendar, along with urban overnight trips such as the Amazing Maths Race in Wellington. Outdoor activities are also an essential part of Leadership programmes, Senior Physical Education and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award programme. Manawatu¯ College is also fortunate to have its own Outdoor Education Centre, located at Raurimu – 7km north of National Park township. The recently renovated facility has a maximum capacity of about 40. It is available for the use of other schools and community groups. Bookings can be made through the College Office.

International Students Each year the College enrols up to 15 International Students – a mixture of fee-paying students, those on exchange programmes. Their presence enriches the College. A Dean of International Students has responsibility for our overseas students. “We have really loved our time at Manawatu¯ College and really don’t want to go home! The school has a family-feel to it, and the students and staff have been very welcoming and encouraging of us from when we first arrived. We have enjoyed all the different subjects and activities such as Stage Challenge and new sports such as netball and rugby that we have been able to do at Manawatu¯ College”.
