Principal's Comment

Kia ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College

This weeks assembly continued the theme of sharing our College teaching and learning strategy with students. DOCERE: Diversity, Opportunity, Connections, Engagement, Relations and Enquiry.

This week the focus was on the opportunities available to students and how they can make the best use of them. Having a clear understanding of how to plan their vocational pathway is at the core of this and central to our careers advice. We are trying to move student's thinking from having to "name a particular job" to understanding their "skills, knowledge and personality" so they can find a vocational pathway they will be happy with.

For many students they have no idea about what they want to do. Seeing the opportunities and possibilities helps them on this journey. I would encourage parents to continue this discussion at home.

Thank you to Nadia Kerr who captured the photograph above as part of her practical art course.

May God bless you
Paul Olsen, Principal
