Principals Trip to Christchurch

 The ever changing face of  learning environment pedagogy and the redevelopment of the Tamaki area has led to the Manaiakalani cluster principals making a trip down to Christchurch in order to see  how schools have rebuilt after the devastating Christchurch earthquakes. We were able to see some amazing building with sound pedagogy and research invested into making these learning environments sustainable and meet the needs of the school community.

The schools we visited were Rawhiti School, Marshland school and Rolleston College.

Some key ideas I liked:

School cultural narrative

Assembly areas within a hub

library areas within a hub

A seperate whare for kapahaka and a meeting room

Dedicated are for headphones

coloured boxes for reading books

Climbing rocks

Hobbit hill and slide

Bike trail
