About
Papanui High School
Location
Our school is located in Papanui, Christchurch, New Zealand.
Background
Papanui High School was established in 1936. It has shared in the growth of North Christchurch and is a central point in that community.
Above all, our School is about learning and teaching. Our focus is on being a professional learning community, providing the best possible teaching and learning in a supportive, challenging, learning environment.
We have a growing roll of more than 1500 students. An enrolment scheme is now in place so that roll growth can be managed. Our Decile 6 rating reflects the balanced nature of our zone: St Albans, Bryndwr, Bishopdale, Harewood, Casebrook, Northcote, Redwood, Regents Park, Northwood, Belfast, Papanui, and Merivale.
The major strengths of our school are:
- A broad curriculum and a wide choice of subjects delivered by innovative, committed staff.
- A determination that the needs of every student in the school will be met through our “Full Service” philosophy.
- A strong commitment to the North Christchurch Community. Our aim is to provide top quality education for all the students in our part of Christchurch.
- A balanced student body covering the full range of academic, socio economic, and ethnic groups.
- First rate modern facilities. The school is undergoing a multi million dollar building development programme and I.C.T.resources are excellent.
The latest ERO review painted a very positive picture of the quality of education at our School.
