Welcome

Welcome to Chilton Saint James School. You should be proud that your child is enrolled in one of the New Zealand’s leading Independent Schools. We are proud of our students, our staff, our environment and our Old Girls. Like you, we want your child to flourish at School academically, socially, as a performing artist, as a sportsperson and as a citizen who understands the joy of providing service to Chilton and the wider community. It is our belief that the best education combines academic with creative expression. Chilton girls are encouraged to dream big, have a sense of adventure and be inspired to achieve their personal best. Today’s students must be equipped for the future, in particular very well prepared to continue with academic programmes beyond school. Chilton students are prepared in a seamless programme that begins from Preschool throughout Primary School and then onto Secondary School, all based on one campus. Many new students join the School across all year levels where we ensure they are well cared for in the transition to a new environment where making friends remains as a top priority. We know that students who are happy and engaged in all aspects of the School’s programme are more likely to thrive academically. Our focus is on the all-round development of our students. We have an open-door policy in communication with parents and caregivers and we encourage you to contact the School if you have any concerns, but also remember to contact us if you want us to celebrate the successes of your child in activities outside of School. Chilton Saint James School is a Christian school affiliated with the Anglican Church. Learning takes place within a framework of the Christian values of love, compassion, honesty, integrity, moral courage, and respect for others and self. These values underpin the expectations of both student and staff behaviour. Chilton Saint James School welcomes students from all faiths and aims to teach respect for one another's religious traditions.

Our Crest

The Chilton crest is made up of three elements: a red cross on a white field (the St George’s Cross) signifies the

Church of England the scallop shell worn as a badge by 12th century pilgrims in token

of having visited the shrine of Saint James at Santiago de Compostela. Saint James the Elder is the Patron Saint of Pilgrims, and the scallop shell is worn to this day by pilgrims on the Camino in Spain.

the Martyr’s Sword – St James was put to death by the sword.

Our Vision

Our campus is our haven, where our girls have the chance to be active in mind, body and spirit. Our teachers are our catalysts, ready to instigate and nurture ideas into flame.

Our girls are our bright sparks, infused with the curiosity and creativity of the world around them, poised and ready for challenge and change.

A Chilton girl is an original thinker, a confident talker and a natural character. She is a girl with an active mind and body: poised ready for challenge and change.

For the creative, the curious and the courageous

The Anglican Focus at Chilton Saint James School

Chilton Saint James School is Anglican in outlook and practice. The Bishop of Wellington nominates one member to be his representative on the Board of Trustees. The School enjoys a close relationship with our parish church, St James’ Church, and the clergy of St James’ serve as the School Chaplain. Our current chaplains are Reverend Peter Benge and Reverend Jean Malcolm. Chaplain’s Assemblies are held regularly and a range of services take place throughout the year, both at School and at St James’ Church. These include Ash Wednesday and Easter Services, St James’ Day and Harvest Festival. The Secondary Commencement Service and School Carol Service are held at the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul. St James’ Church administers the Suzanne Duncan Scholarship Trust, which provides a number of scholarships to students who attend Chilton Saint James School and who are parishioners of St James’ Church.

Communication Channels

At Chilton Saint James School we recognise that each student’s development is different and we have created structures that allow us to respond accordingly. Pastoral care is the responsibility of every member of staff and is built into staff-student relationships at all levels of the School. We recognise that the School works in partnership with parents. The parent-School partnership is a shared responsibility that creates an appropriately individualised environment for the development of each student’s independence and personal confidence. The School values the co-operation of parents and welcomes the opportunity to discuss with them issues of concern about their child’s development. The process for doing this is outlined below. Academic Concerns Preschool ‒ Year 6 Always contact the classroom teacher in the first instance. If you need further assistance, contact the Deputy Principal Junior School, Mrs Anne Rightford, during School hours via Reception or by email [email protected] Years 7 – 13 Always contact the subject teacher in the first instance. If you need further assistance, contact the Head of Department. For further assistance contact the Curriculum Manager, Mr Martin Butts, during School hours via Reception or by email [email protected] Bulletin The Weekly Bulletin is a vital communication channel and it is published via email each Thursday. The Bulletin is also posted on the School website www.chilton.school.nz Change in Caregiver Arrangements From time to time, parents arrange alternative care for their child due to work or holiday commitments. Please notify the School of these arrangements so that we hold the names and contact details of the temporary caregivers for this period of time. Community Calendar All upcoming events are published in the Chilton Community Calendar which is available on the Chilton website www.chilton.school.nz Any changes that need to be made to the Community Calendar are notified in the Weekly Bulletin. In the online calendar, assessment dates for the following Term will be loaded in the final week of each Term. Contacting Staff Phone Reception to be connected to the staff member you wish to speak to. All staff have voicemail and email and will reply within 24 hours, except across the weekend or public/school holidays. The convention for email addresses is: the staff member’s first initial followed by their surname, eg [email protected]

14

Parent Portal Accessible via the homepage of our website www.chilton.school.nz the Chilton Parent Portal allows parents to

monitor your child’s absences view your daughter’s timetable book Parent Teacher Meetings view secondary academic results view school reports (Years 1 – 13).

Parents are allocated a 6 digit login code and password on enrolment. Please keep this information in a safe place. If you have forgotten your login please contact Fiona Pattison [email protected] Parent / Teacher Interviews Dates are notified on the Community Calendar and in the Weekly Bulletin. Parents are welcome to exchange short messages with the teacher when they bring their child to School in the morning and afternoon. However, this is not a good time to have an involved discussion about your child’s progress. If you wish to discuss matters concerning your child which require more time, it is better to set up an appointment. This can be done by leaving a phone or email message for the teacher concerned. Preschool Preschool Parent/Teacher interviews are held in Terms One, Two and Three and there are also student-led conferences (3 ‒ 5 year olds only) in Term Four, although parents are welcome to contact Preschool teachers at any time. Years 1 – 6 Interviews are held four times a year. Term One is around student welfare, Term Two is a Progress Interview, Term Three is student led and the last Parent Teacher Interview is held early in Term Four. Bookings are made online through the Parent Portal. Years 7 – 13 Parents are able to attend formal Parent Teacher Interviews in Term One and again in the middle of the year. If you are unable to attend on the advertised date, please contact staff through the communication channels outlined in this Handbook. Bookings are made online through the Parent Portal. School Reports Preschool Preschool formal reports are mailed to parents at the end of Term Four. Years 1 – 6 Primary School formal reports are mailed to parents at the end of Term Two and Term Four. Student books are sent home regularly. Years 7 – 9 Written reports are sent on three occasions during the year for students in Years 7 ‒ 9. These can also be viewed on the Parent Portal from the day of posting. Years 10 ‒ 13 students receive four reports in a year. As with the Years 7 ‒ 9 reports, these can be viewed on the Parent Portal from the day of posting. Year 13 students receive a testimonial, rather than a report, in Term Four.

15

Student Diary Preschool All students have a notebook in which reading (for 3 – 5 year old children only) and short notes are entered. Parents are asked to check and sign the notebook. Both parents and teachers use this two-way form of communication. Years 1 – 3 All students will have a printed school diary in 2015. Parents are asked to check and sign the diary. Both parents and teachers use this two-way form of communication. Years 4 – 13 There will be no printed school diary in 2015. Students will be expected use their most appropriate technology to enable them to organise assessments, homework and the materials and equipment required. Assistance will be provided to students on how best to use their electronic diaries. Chilton Website The Chilton Saint James School website, www.chilton.school.nz has quick links on the homepage to the Weekly Bulletin and key Term dates. There is also a Parent section including more detailed School information, such as operating hours, Uniform Shop, Transport and After School care. A search function ensures that key information is readily accessible.

Pastoral Care

The ability to cope, to understand and bounce back from life's challenging and difficult experiences underpins all programmes related to the overall care and education of Chilton students. The Pastoral Care programme at Chilton focuses on nurturing resilience, guiding students to reflect on behaviour, understanding consequences, building relationships and making connections. Resilient students show social competence: they have a positive self-identity, self-discipline, a sense of purpose and belief in a bright future with the ability to make sound decisions and set goals. Chilton Saint James School believes that young people are more likely to develop resiliency in an environment where there are caring relationships, a sense of compassion and understanding, where there are high expectation messages, firm guidance, structure and challenge and where there are opportunities for meaningful participation and contribution. To achieve this positive environment our students are given the opportunity to hold valued responsibilities, to make decisions, and to relate to adults who believe in their capability and capacity. The pastoral care system at Chilton Saint James works on a number of levels. Students, parents and staff have access to various staff responsible for the guidance and welfare of students. Preschool ‒ Year 6 Classroom teachers have a special opportunity to develop rapport with their pupils and many students look first to them for guidance and support. Parents are asked to contact their child’s classroom teacher in the first instance if they have a concern or wish to pass on information concerning their child’s welfare. Classroom teachers can be contacted through Reception. The Deputy Principal Junior School, Mrs Anne Rightford, has responsibility for the pastoral care provided to all Preschool – Year 6 students and can be consulted with concerns during School hours via Reception or by email [email protected]

You may email any medical certificates you have to Reception on [email protected] at any time. Appointments Preschool If a student needs to leave Preschool during the day for an appointment, parents are asked to sign the student out of Preschool and a Preschool staff member informs Reception. Years 1 – 6 Parents or caregivers are asked to make appointments outside of School time. If this is not possible and a student needs to leave School during the day, the classroom teacher requires a written explanation. A written note to the teacher or emailing the staff member 24 hours prior to the appointment is a requirement. Years 7 – 13 Every student must follow the correct procedures when they leave School during the School day.

An appointment card or a note written by a parent or caregiver must be presented for her form teacher to sign, granting permission to leave. This notification must then be presented to staff at Reception if requested.

The student must leave via Reception after recording the time leaving and the name of the teacher giving permission on a sign-out slip from the student counter at Reception. The student must then sign in at Reception on her return.

Only Year 13 students may leave school during lunchtime or during study spells without presenting the written permission that is expected at other times. They must, however, sign in and out at Reception.

Lower Hutt Police have banned School student presence in the Westfield Shopping Mall during School hours.

Class attendance is monitored regularly. If a student is absent and she has failed to follow the correct sign-out procedure, her parents will be notified. Unexplained absences during the school day may result in disciplinary action.

Current addresses, email and telephone numbers, including work contacts are essential in case of illness or other emergencies. Collection of Students during the school day by Babysitters and Alternative Caregivers A number of our School students are cared for by alternative caregivers. From time to time these caregivers need to come to School Reception to collect their charges during the day. In the interests of safety, Reception will contact parents for permission where the person is unknown to the School or not listed on our database. In order to make this process less vexing, we would like to have your permission and contact details of these caregivers on our computer system. Please advise Reception with these details or email to [email protected] Leave of Absence It is important for students’ development that they participate fully in the life of the School. Term dates are published in the previous year and are accessible from the School’s website. The School does not encourage applications for extensions of holidays or non-medical absences. Any request for special leave must be made in writing to the Principal, Mrs Jude Fawcett email [email protected] at least two weeks before the event.

In 2015 students will be allocated a $30 credit towards printing and photocopying expenses. Printing / photocopying will be charged out as follows: Black and White 8¢ per A4 page Colour 30¢ per A4 page Students will be able to purchase additional print / photocopy credit if they use up their initial allocation of credit. This will be available from the student counter at School Reception. Preschool Specific Procedures There are a few additional Preschool-specific procedures. All other Preschool-specific procedures are kept on file in Preschool for parent perusal (on the shelf next to large board as you enter Preschool). All Preschool students need to bring a named school bag (we can no longer accommodate bags on wheels) with a healthy snack and drink in a named lunch box for morning and afternoon children as well as lunch for all day children.

To qualify parents must sign the ECE attestation which is kept on file in Chilton Preschool. Initial Stages of Settling In Parents are welcome to stay with their child during the initial stages of settling into Preschool. We discourage parents from joining their child on a daily basis for mat time, as this often leads to children having difficulty with parting from their parents at a later stage. Parents are welcome to join us for a session as a parent helper. Special Requirements for 2 – 3 year old children Please ensure that you bring the following to Preschool on the first day of each term. A cubby hole will be allocated for the safekeeping of these items.

The teacher will do this if appropriate. If paint has dried, soak the garment overnight in cold, soapy water then wash in lukewarm water using household soap. Do not use hot water, laundry detergent or spray or stain removers as they set the colour.

23

Transition to Year 0 / Year 1 at Chilton After Preschool, Chilton Saint James School is an independent girls’ only School for Years 1 – 13. Parents with questions or concerns about their daughter’s transition to Chilton Saint James Junior School are welcome to meet with the Deputy Principal Junior School, Mrs Anne Rightford. As part of their transition to School programme, all Preschool girls will have approximately seven to eight school visits in the Primary School on designated days from 8.30am – 12.30pm. Prior to every girl entering the Primary School, a meeting will be arranged for parents to meet with Mrs Rightford to discuss the Primary School curriculum, pastoral care system and learning programme. Excursions / Incursions Preschool Trips for the 4 – 5 year old children are arranged by Preschool staff as enrichment to the work being covered in the classroom. All trips have the approval of the Deputy Principal Junior School. Parents are asked to sign a permission slip granting permission for their child to participate in excursions during the School day. The details of: teacher/child ratio, cost and transport will be communicated to parents by letter. Years 1 ‒ 13 Trips are arranged by classroom/subject teachers as enrichment to the work being covered in the classroom or as an assessment activity. Parents have given permission by signing the Confirmation of Details Form that they are allowing their child to participate in School-sanctioned excursions and incursions during the School day. The details of cost and transport are advertised in the Weekly Bulletin. A letter to parents is not sent separately, except in the case of overnight activities. Incidentals Account From time to time, students have the opportunity to go on trips or purchase non-core items through the School. To avoid potential problems associated with students carrying amounts of money to School, each student on joining the School is required to make a deposit of $100.00. At the end of each Term, the amount spent on incidental items and events is charged to parents on the next term’s fees to restore the Incidentals account to a balance of $100.00. Information Technology Acceptance of an offer of place at Chilton Saint James consitutes an agreement to adhere to the School’s IT Code of Conduct. Breaking these terms may result in a ban from sending or receiving emails until the mailbox size is reduced, from accessing the internet for the rest of the month or from access to all computer use for a period of time. Training sessions covering appropriate internet use are offered regularly. Completion of a training session will normally be required before internet access will be considered. Students are not permitted to access Facebook or other social networking sites, via the School’s network. IT staff maintain an internet users’ database to keep track of eligible student users and to record what research has been done using the internet. Internet usage is closely monitored during the day. Internet and computer user privileges may be cancelled or other action taken, when inappropriate use is made of the School’s IT facilities.

24

Lost Property All property, including socks, should be clearly named. This results in lost items being more easily reunited with their owners. Primary School lost property is placed in a central position by the Resource Room in Little Chilton and Preschool lost property is placed in the front entrance to Preschool. It is displayed at regular intervals for identification and collection by students. Secondary School lost property is placed in the student foyer by Reception. Any items that are named are returned to the student. At the end of each Term, unclaimed items are disposed of after first being placed on display outside the student welfare office for two days. Parking, Collection and Drop-Off The School car park and driveways are not available to parents between 7.45am and 4.30pm. Our primary concern is the safety of our students on the road. Parking on yellow lines, in drop-off zones or double parking is illegal. Parents who break the law in this way jeopardise the safety of their own child and others. The bus stops are strictly no parking areas. Fines have been issued to parents who have stopped in these zones even for a very short period to allow children to alight from cars. Please abide by the road markings especially around the crossing and the School bus stops The speed limit past the School is 20kmph (when buses are present) and 40kmph when the School Zone yellow lights are flashing. However drivers should slow down whenever students are arriving or leaving the School. Double parking on Waterloo Road causes a traffic hazard and puts everyone at risk. Please refrain from doing this. Parents are asked to use the pedestrian crossing if they need to cross from one side of the street to the other. This sets a good example to our students. Please show consideration to the residents of Chilton Grove. The Lower Hutt Police regularly patrol the area and issue infringement notices for illegally parked vehicles. Students who are not cycling, walking or catching a bus should be collected promptly at the end of the day. Junior School students are not permitted to wait unsupervised for pick-up. To ease congestion at the main gates on Waterloo Road, it is helpful if parents arrange a collection point at a little distance from the School. Reception Operating hours at Reception are Monday to Friday from 8.00am until 4.30pm. The main phone line is 566 4089.

25

Secondary School Discipline The School is aware that teenage years may be challenging. In order to guide students into making wise choices a multilevel discipline system operates. Students may become part of the system due to misdemeanours that may include (but not exclusively):

Uniform infringements Truancy Failure to meet expectations of teachers in respect to; homework, equipment and classroom

behaviour Infringements of the Code of Behaviour or School Regulations related to the use of

technology and participation in sports or arts activities. The Discipline Process Lunchtime detention: Friday from 12.50pm – 1.20pm. Two in one Term constitutes a School detention. School detention: Friday 7.45am – 8.15am. Once a student has completed two School detentions, during the year, or they have committed a serious breach of the School Codes of Behaviour, she may be given a Deputy Principal’s detention. Deputy Principal’s detention: held for one hour after school at an agreed time. Stand down: in school or out of school, may be for up to four days. Principal’s detention: held for three hours at the discretion of the Principal. Suspension and Exclusion/Expulsion are for the most serious breaches of the School Codes of Behaviour. Student ID Cards All Years 7 – 13 students are issued with a Chilton photo ID card at the beginning of each year. $8 will be charged to student Incidental accounts. Student Leaving Procedures All personal belongings must be removed from lockers and classrooms. All sports gear, including uniforms must be returned. All text books and library books must be returned to complete procedures. Student Messages Parents are requested to make arrangements with their children before coming to School and indicate any special arrangements to their Classroom / Form teacher. If you need to pass an urgent message to your child during the day, please telephone Reception and staff will ensure that your child receives the message. Parents may text their daughters but please ensure that this is not during class time. Testimonials The Principal will provide a School Testimonial to Year 13 students leaving School after completing their Secondary education.

26

Transport to and from School The Waterloo Interchange is ten minutes’ walk from the School. Students are able to travel by train to and from Upper Hutt. Those students who live in Wellington and the inner city suburbs can also travel by commuter train and walk to and from School. Students who live in Wainuiomata use a public bus which stops by the School on Waterloo Road. Students who live in Eastbourne and the Bays are able to access a public bus service, operated by Classic Coaches Bus Company. This service operates to and from the bus stop outside School. Students are collected from public bus stops en route from Eastbourne to School. Students who live in the Whitby, Paremata, Plimmerton, Papakowhai and Pauatahanui districts use a bus service, operated by Runciman Motors, for both Chilton and Hutt International Boys’ School pupils. These buses collect students from the nearest public bus stop to their home and provide a service ‘to the door’ for each School every morning and in reverse in the afternoon. Runciman Motors provide a bus service for Chilton students only, from Upper Hutt and Silverstream, thus providing students in these districts with the choice to travel by bus or train. Runciman collect students from public bus stops and bring them to School. Students are collected from the bus stop outside School at the end of the day, stopping at public bus stops on their return. Other buses stop at the Westfield Shopping Mall, which is located in central Lower Hutt, ten minutes’ walk from the School. Bus services are not privately contracted by the School. If you require more specific details of the transport services to your home area or you wish to purchase a bus pass, please contact the relevant bus company listed below: Runciman Motors 528 5279 Valley Flyer 569 2933 Classic Coaches 564 5015

All students are expected to behave with dignity on all buses. Inappropriate behaviour will be severely dealt with and parents will be asked to arrange alternative transport. After School Bus Queues A rostered member of the teaching staff supervises afternoon bus queues. All Primary School bus students meet outside Little Chilton and the staff member on duty escorts the students to outside Chilton Hall where they wait before being put onto their bus. Secondary School bus students line up near Chilton Hall with the Primary School students. Withdrawal of Student Enrolment Procedures Parents are required to give one Term’s notice in writing to the Principal when a student is leaving the School. Other than in exceptional cases, at the discretion of the Principal, a penalty of half a Term’s Fees in lieu of notice applies when a Term’s notice is not given.

27

Health Management Procedures

For Preschool ‒ Year 6 students the teacher on duty or classroom teacher will make an initial assessment of injury or illness. In the case of serious injury, a staff member with first aid qualifications will come to the playground or classroom. Secondary School students who are suffering injury or feeling unwell should present themselves at the student counter at Reception where they will be assessed by staff who are trained in First Aid. Staff will ensure that appropriate medical attention is provided. Under no circumstances are students allowed to make contact with other people to arrange collection. There is an area for students requiring a short rest or waiting to receive further treatment. If necessary, parents or caregivers named on the emergency files will be contacted and requested to collect the student. Please keep emergency contact details current by ringing Reception at any time with updated information. If it is necessary to take a student to hospital, a staff member will accompany the student and parents will be informed immediately. A staff member will stay with the student until a family member arrives to take over. Medical Conditions Any student who has a known medical condition or illness, eg. diabetes, epilepsy or severe allergies, should have a record of this at Reception and on the student’s personal records. This should contain details of:

the usual medical treatment needed by the student at School or on School activities the medical treatment and action needed if the student’s condition deteriorates the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the emergency contacts and the student’s

doctor. Severe illness ‒ the School should be notified as soon as possible. Medication If a student requires medication whilst at School, parents/guardians should supply medication in a container that indicates the name of the student, the name of the medication, the time it is to be given and the dosage. This medication is to be stored at Reception for Secondary School students and with the classroom teacher for Junior School students. The exception is asthma-relief medication and Epipens. Students are expected to carry their own asthma relief medication and Epipens at all times. Analgesics are available at Reception and a record of student intake is maintained. For Junior School students, analgesics are not administered unless parental permission has been given. Administration of medication is not generally the responsibility of teaching staff. Preschool Details of medication for Preschool students must be entered and signed by parents in the medical log held by Preschool staff. For conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy or severe asthma the School must store supplies of the appropriate medication in case of a Civil Defence emergency.

28

Preschool Child Health Exclusion of children with infectious conditions from Preschool is sometimes necessary where there is potential for further spread of infection. We wish to keep children and adults safe from infection by clearly detailing below under what circumstances a child should be excluded.

No child with diarrhoea should attend School. They should have at least one normal bowel motion before returning to School.

Child has any of the following conditions: fever, persistent crying, difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, or other signs of possible severe illness.

Vomiting two or more times in the previous 24 hours, unless the vomiting is known to be caused by a non-communicable condition and the child is not in danger of dehydration.

Rash with fever or behaviour change, until a doctor has determined that the illness is not a communicable disease.

Illness which prevents the child from participating comfortably in programme activities. Illness which results in a greater care need than we can reasonably provide without

compromising the health and safety of the other children. Conjunctivitis – until either the infection clears or two days after examined by a doctor and

treated. Impetigo, until 24 hours after treatment has started, and until 24 hours after fever stops. Head lice or thread worm, until treated. Scabies, until after treatment has been completed. Chicken pox, until at least six days after onset of rash, and all the lesions have dried and

crusted. Whooping cough, until five days of appropriate antibiotic therapy (the total course of the

usual treatment is 14 days). Mumps, until nine days after glands started swelling. Tuberculosis, until the child’s physician or the Public Health Service advised that the child

is non-infectious. Public Health Service exclusion guidelines will be followed for any conditions not listed above. For some vaccine preventable diseases, there is requirement to exclude unimmunised children who have had contact with a case of the disease. This applies to Measles, Diphtheria and Whooping Cough, and would be arranged on the advice of the Medical Officer of Health.

A child prescribed antibiotics for any illness should not return until at least 24 hours after treatment has started.

We reserve the right to request a medical certificate from a health professional before allowing a child to return from illness.

Head lice are to be treated before the child returns to School.

29

Emergency Procedures

All areas of the School have clear written evacuation procedures in event of a fire. The School has a comprehensive and sensitive fire alarm system, linked directly to the Fire Service.

The accepted classroom practice in the event of an earthquake is to drop, take cover and hold in a turtle position, under classroom furniture.

In the event of a containment emergency, indicated when 3 rings of the School bell are rung repeatedly, all students must enter classrooms and remain there. Students and staff may not leave the room until the all-clear is given by the Executive Team, the Fire Service or Lower Hutt Police.

In the event of a flooding emergency, all classes must move upstairs as quickly as possible.

Any School closure due to an emergency will be confirmed on general radio broadcasts and, if possible, on the School answer phone and the School website.

Evacuation Procedures

The fire evacuation signal is the continued ringing of the School fire alarm. In the event of an earthquake, the decision to evacuate a building will be made by a teacher on site or a member of the Executive Team.

Staff and girls leave classrooms or School areas closing all doors and windows and go by the most direct route to designated assembly areas, where a roll is taken. If students arrive at School and the emergency bell is ringing, they must wait outside the School gates.

Regular evacuation practices are held, sometimes with the Fire Service in attendance.

Civil Defence Procedures / Communication with Parents in an Emergency The School is very well prepared for the event of a Civil Defence Emergency and has a comprehensive Civil Defence plan set out in a manual for staff use. Each year, a group of Secondary School students is trained as an Emergency Response team in light rescue, First Aid and evacuation skills. Enough food, water and other equipment is stored on site to enable the School to care for staff and students on site, if this should prove necessary. The food supply is regularly updated.

All members of staff are aware of their responsibility to stay on-site to care for all students until they can be collected by a caregiver. Parents can be assured that their children will be looked after. To avoid panic and confusion in an emergency, it is important that parents are aware of this, and work with the School.

The School must hold up-to-date information concerning contact numbers of parents, together with the names and contact details of other caregivers who are authorised to take charge if a parent cannot be contacted. It is essential for your child’s safety that you notify us of any changes to contact details during the year.

In the event of an emergency, the School is in contact with the Lower Hutt Police and Civil Defence authorities and follows their instructions.

Students will not be allowed to contact parents or other caregivers. Parents and other caregivers are requested to communicate with Reception only, and not with individual students.

No student will be allowed to leave the School grounds unless signed out in person by a parent or an adult designated as an emergency contact on the School database, or authorised by the parent in a phone call to Reception. Arrangements must not be made to meet students at a designated place outside the School grounds, nor should students be instructed to make their own way home.

30

Homework and Independent Study

It is an expectation that all students complete set homework, independent study and regular revision each day. This may include exercises to be completed before the next class, work to be done over a period of time or the review of previously learnt work. Completing homework regularly helps establish sound work habits that provide the foundation for successful study in senior years. Homework should be recorded each day. A homework timetable may be provided for Years 7 – 9 students. Students in more senior years should take responsibility for developing a study timetable which balances homework and study commitments with recreational, sporting, cultural, social activities and activities in which service is provided to others. Deans are available to assist students with this task. If a student is unable to meet the timeline in any subject, after having focused on the essence of the homework, a note signed by a parent should be written in the School Diary (Years 1 –Year 3) or email sent to the class teacher (Year 4 – Year 13). Students who complete set work quickly should use the remaining time for reading more broadly about topics of interest or undertaking further review. This should involve activities such as active recall and writing revision notes and summaries. Years 1 – 2 Reading and set activities up to 15 minutes Years 3 – 4 Daily reading and set activities of approximately 15 minutes Years 5 – 6 Daily reading and 30 minutes of written activities Year 7 1 hour per School day, excluding Fridays Year 8 1 hour per School day Year 9 8 – 10 hours per week Year 10 10 – 14 hours per week Level 1 2 hours per subject per week Level 2 2 hours per subject per week Level 3 3 hours per subject per week In addition to the above times, every student is encouraged to engage in reading or being read to each day, from her earliest years at School. Cases in which homework deadlines have not been met will, in the first instance, be dealt with by the subject teacher. If a student or her parents have concerns regarding homework, they should contact the subject teacher in the first instance. Further information may be obtained from the Head of Department. Helping your child at home All parents want their children to achieve at School and are prepared to assist at home. Below are several suggestions to make your assistance productive.

Always be supportive of the School in the presence of your child. If you have any concerns, please come to School and discuss them with us.

Make sure that your expectations of your child are realistic in the light of the level of work which can be expected at your child’s age and stage.

Remember that children develop and mature at different rates. Remember that we can often understand things that we hear before we can understand

what we are reading. It is important to acknowledge and reward effort and the process of learning.

31

House System

Students are allocated to a House when they first arrive at School and remain in this House for their time at Chilton. Each House comprises a vertical cross section of students from Years 1 to 13. Students entering the School who have a family affiliation with a particular House are assigned to that House. All staff members belong to a House and House badges (available from Reception at $5 each) may be worn as part of the official School Uniform. Inter-House Music, Swimming and Athletics are the main House events each year. However, a myriad of other activities provide opportunities to earn House points during the year. Together, these culminate in the presentation of the Goodwin Rosebowl to the winning House. The Houses are named after four people who in the School’s early years gave their time and energy to build a School for present and future generations of children.

Benbow Symbol: Silver Cup with a laurel wreath wrapped around on a green background. Originally the Green Team, then York, it changed its name in 1957 to Benbow. Miss Benbow was Chilton’s first Head of Music and taught here for 30 years. She composed much of the music used at Chilton, most notably the School Hymn.

Hansell Symbol: Angelic wings imposed on a blue background. Hansell House was known as Blue Team then Gloucester but was renamed Hansell in 1957. This House was named after Archdeacon Hansell who was the Vicar of St James’ Church during the setting up and development of Chilton Saint James School. He was instrumental in establishing the School’s spiritual dimension.

Lewis Symbol: Scallop shell worn by 12th Century pilgrims to the shrine of St James on a yellow background. Originally the Orange Team then Winchester House, Lewis was the fourth house created as the School grew. It is named after Miss Lewis, a long serving matron of the boarding house. The colour was later changed to yellow.

Stowe Symbol: Crossed swords on a red background. Originally Red Team then Leicester House, it became Stowe House in 1957. Miss Sylvia Stowe was one of the founders of Chilton Saint James School and helped to raise the money needed to purchase the School site.

32

Student Service

The Christian values of respect and compassion are the basis of the School’s service programme. There are three programmes that operate throughout the Year; the Year Group Term by Term activities, the School Council and the Service Captain Initiatives. All year groups are involved in service on a voluntary basis. Year groups sometimes combine to lead a service project of their choice, over the four terms. The Year group initiatives are student driven with a committee deciding on the service to support and the activity that would best enable all students in a year group to volunteer to play their part. Activities may include collecting for SPCA, Ronald McDonald House or the Cancer Society; reading and playing games with younger students; planting daffodils in preparation to support cancer awareness week; or visits to give gifts or entertain, at old age homes or at centres for people in our community that receive professional support. The School Council often takes on a one-off Service Initiative in response to Local, National or International events or from organisations seeking support. This may include disaster relief efforts, Red Cross, World Vision or the Cancer and Heart Foundation requests for fundraising. The Council Service Captain supports the year group activities. She plays a leading role in any School Council School-wide Service action whilst capturing service hours with the help of her committee to ensure that the database truly reflects student input. Students are recognised for their level of contribution with Service Merit and Distinction certificates as well as Colours Awards and cups awarded at the end of the year.

33

Student Leadership

The goal of the School Leadership Programme is to develop a diverse range of empowered young women with an in depth understanding of leadership. The programme creates individuals with an appreciation of what leadership means to them and what kind of leader they are or would like to be. Ultimately, when they leave the School they understand how to lead and how to contribute as part of a team. They are equipped with the skills and the tools to make their impact on the world. Primary School – Student Leadership Opportunities Primary School Form Captains Primary School Form Captains are selected by teachers from Years 1 – 6 throughout the year based on their class Form Captain Essential Agreements. Form Captain Essential Agreements are created in the first few weeks of the school year by year level students and their teacher and these agreements describe the leadership values and classroom responsibilities that each class expects of their Form Captains. Years 1 – 6 Form Captains rotate on a bi-weekly basis so that each child has the chance to develop an understanding of leadership skills. It is expected that Primary School Form Captains take on increasing responsibility and leadership roles as they advance through the Primary School in preparation for House Captain and Deputy House Captain leadership roles they may wish to apply for in Year 6. Form Captain badges are presented to elected students at Primary School Formal Assemblies by the Deputy Principal, Mrs Rightford and classroom teachers. Primary School House Captains and Deputies Four Year 6 House Captains and Deputies are elected by peers from Years 3 ‒ 6 and Primary School Teachers. They are invested with their badges at a full School assembly at the beginning of the year and are expected to wear them on their blazers. Amongst their responsibilities they are expected to: set an example, lead and take an active part in the organisation of Primary School House events such as Athletics, Swimming Sports, House Music and Inter-House Netball. In addition, they are expected to assist at official functions. An essential agreement is written early in Term One. Road Patrol Applications are made early in the new year and fifteen Years 5 and 6 girls are trained to undertake this full year commitment for one day per week. There is a teacher on duty each day with the girls. Year 6 Big Sisters Two Year 6 girls are selected as room monitors for Preschool to Year 4 on a Term by Term rotation. An essential agreement is written each Term outlining expectations. With the support of a teacher on duty, Big Sister duties include caring for the appointed class on wet days and inside lunchtimes. Chaplain’s Assembly Hosts Years 5 and 6 students can apply to join the Chaplain’s Team for the year. They prepare the readings supplied by the School Chaplain, light the candles, ring the service bell, and run the service PowerPoint presentation at Chaplain’s Assembly. Emergency Management Team There is an opportunity for up to six Year 6 girls to apply for the Primary School Emergency Management Team. These girls are selected after they apply in writing, outlining their interest in emergency management. They meet weekly with the Secondary Emergency Management team. Student Assemblies Primary classes take turns to host student assemblies throughout the year. As part of this process students are given a range of opportunities to develop both their leadership and presentation skills.

34

Secondary School – Student Leadership Opportunities Years 7 ‒ 10 participate in a programme where they explore the concept that everyone has leadership skills. They learn to recognise, value and employ leadership skills relevant to their age group. Opportunities to attend locally run leadership programmes are a feature of the programme. The Years 11 ‒13 leadership programme is designed as a series of steps resulting in the preparation of students for their final year at Chilton. The Year 11 programme begins with an introduction to leadership from within. Students consider what leadership means to them and what makes a good leader. From these discussions the students begin to focus on their role as a leader and consider the kind of leader they would like to be and the strengths that they have. Year 12 students build on their exploration in Year 11 by striving to meet the challenges set during their week at the Outdoor Pursuits Centre. The second phase of the programme is a skill-based programme which addresses the specific skills required moving into Year 13. These skill-based modules include Event Management and Time Management. Late in Term Three, Year 12 students are invited to submit written applications for a position on School Council. In Year 13 there are unique challenges faced by not only the School Council but the entire year group. The purpose of the leadership programme at this stage is to prepare these students for these challenges. The year begins with a full day leadership focusing on the acceleration of leadership awareness and developing a personal philosophy for leadership. This theme is readdressed later in the first Term and provides the backdrop for all programmes supporting Year 13 to unveil their leadership potential. Each member of the Year 13 cohort identifies a Council committee that they will support. They are actively involved in contributing ideas, helping out and supporting the Captain. All Year 13 students are members of their House committees. The School Council The School Council is a respected and integral part of the leadership role in Year 13. The Head Girl and Deputy Head Girl are announced at Prizegiving. The School Council manages School-wide activities related to their areas of responsibility and promotes and raises funds to implement a School-wide project of their choice. Throughout the year Council Captains work as a team to promote school culture, uphold the values of the School and support the Head Girl. Council Captains work alongside their peers and a staff mentor to deliver a variety of opportunities to the whole school. Staff mentors have a particular expertise or interest in the portfolio and are identified by the Council Captains as an adult who can provide knowledge and support. Mentors and Council members meet regularly, both formally and informally. Mentors provide organisational support and pastoral support if required. The School Council comprises:

Head Girl Deputy Head Girl Academic Captain Arts Captain Primary School Captain Junior Secondary School Captain Secretary/Treasurer Service Captain Sports Captain Worship Captain Benbow House Captain Hansell House Captain Lewis House Captain Stowe House Captain

Primary School – International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme Chilton offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB) throughout the Junior School from Preschool to Year 6. The IB offers a high quality education that encourages students to ask challenging questions, to reflect critically, to develop research skills, and to learn how to learn. It offers a curriculum that represents the best global educational pedagogy. The PYP focuses on the complete growth of the developing child – incorporating social, physical, emotional and cultural growth in addition to academic development. It has been developed through research and best practice from a range of educational systems around the world. It provides a relevant, engaging, challenging and significant educational frame. Mrs Michelle Hughes is the IB Curriculum Coordinator. Primary Curriculum Years 1 – 6 Our Curriculum is concept driven, enabling our students to become reflective thinkers and inquirers. By making connections between existing knowledge and new learning, our students explore content that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant. The inclusion of iPads in Years 1 – 3, and bring your own device Your Own Device (BYOD) from Year 4 ensures that digital technologies are integrated across the curriculum. Inquiry Inquiry begins with exploring a big idea and ends with enduring understandings. Students begin to ask questions enthusiastically, and then transition in to inquiring in to issues, problems or ideas. Inquiry involves asking questions, gathering and analysing information, generating solutions, making decisions, justifying conclusions and taking action. Our Literacy Programme provides our students with opportunities to become increasingly skilled and sophisticated speakers and listeners, readers and writers, and presenters and viewers. Through engaging with increasingly complex texts in a variety of forms, our students learn to think critically, question, reflect and make judgements. In Numeracy our students explore patterns and relationships by using symbols, graphs and diagrams. By estimating, calculating and solving problems our students learn to investigate, interpret, explain and make sense of the world. Students have class teachers who teach the core areas of Literacy, Numeracy and Inquiry and specialist teachers who deliver the French, Dance, Physical Education and Music. We recognise that learning with specialist teachers ensures our girls are introduced to each discipline by practitioners, who have a real passion for and expertise in their subject areas. French All students in Years 1 – 6 learn French. Lessons are held twice a week in

Years 1 – 3 and three times a week in Years 4 ‒ 6 with a specialist French teacher.

Dance All 3 – 5 year old pre-schoolers and students from Years 1 – 6 learn Dance with a specialist dance teacher. For example, Years 1 – 2 have timetabled Ballet lessons each week.

Music Years 1 – 6 students have Music once a week with a specialist Music teacher. The instrumental component of the programme begins in Year 3 with specialist tutors in small groups. Students learn glockenspiel, recorder, ukulele, violin and for selected students extension violin and cello. Year 6 students also have taster lessons in flute and clarinet.

Physical Education

All students are involved in a graded skills-development programme to cater for muscular co-ordination, flexibility and movement. These are the basis of skills required for major sports. The lessons are taken by a specialist Physical Education teacher. All students are expected to participate in all classes. A note is required if a student is unable to participate at any time.

Secondary Curriculum Pathways Years 7 – 10 A broad programme at Years 7 and 8 see students study two languages (French and Chinese) with half year programmes in Dance, Visual Arts, Materials Technology, Food Technology, Digital Technology and Music. In Years 9 and 10 the timetable broadens and students have the first opportunity to select elective subjects. These are timetabled alongside the core curriculum and provide students with the opportunity to study subjects that are of particular interest or are new to them. In Year 10 NCEA assessments are included in many subjects. This allows students to become familiar with the NCEA procedures. Year 7 and Year 8 Year 9 Year 10

Chilton’s vertical approach to timetabling at senior level (includes Years 10, 11, 12 and 13). This means that girls are able to move fluidly through NCEA – accelerating in an area of strength if they wish, concentrating on an area of interest without sacrificing breadth. Year 10 students also have the option for accelerated learning by taking NCEA Level 1 in subjects where their talents lie. Students at Years 11 and 12 study six subjects. Year 13 students generally study five subjects from the following choices across NCEA Levels 1 – 3 in addition to Health, Physical Education and Religious Studies Students in Year 13 study a full course for NZ University Entrance and NCEA Level 3. Capable students are encouraged to enter the NZ Scholarship examinations and university study. In Year 13, one spell of a student’s timetable (as determined by the Senior School Deputy Principal Curriculum) may be replaced by Dance, Music or Sports Academy for selected students.

National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)

Assessment Expectations Students are expected to:

hand in individual work (unless it is stated otherwise) produce authentic work. (This means that the information gathered from any reference

sources needs to be interpreted. If it is appropriate to directly quote any reference material, the source of the work needs to be acknowledged)

complete all digital work in the subject-specific Google Drive folder shared with the teacher and make that work accessible to the teacher at all times. (Sharing assessment work with another student, or accessing another student’s assessment work is considered a breach of assessment conditions and will result in a Not Achieved grade being awarded.)

hand in work on time as outlined in the Community Calendar be aware that problems with computers or other technology are not accepted as a reason for

not meeting timelines. If a student fails to hand in work for a given standard, a Not Achieved grade will be awarded. Re-assessment Policy Background: Students receive an Excellence endorsement for a course if they gain, within one school year, 14 credits at Excellence level. Students gaining 14 credits, within one school year, at Merit (or Merit and Excellence) will gain a Merit endorsement. To ensure students are capable of performing well in both modes of assessment, at least three of the 14 credits must be gained from internally assessed standards, and a further three credits must be gained from externally assessed standards. (Exception: Levels 2 and Level 3 Physical Education and Level 3 Visual Arts are exempt from the requirement to gain 3 credits from externally assessed standards.) Chilton Policy: In each subject students should have two opportunities to gain internally assessed credits at merit or excellence levels, unless there is only one internally assessed standard in a subject, and this standard involves significant out of class research/data collection. Hence:

In a course in which there are two or more internally assessed Achievement Standards worth at least three credits, there will be no re-assessment opportunities.

In courses in which there is only one internally assessed Achievement Standard and this does not include significant out of class research/data collection, then one re-assessment opportunity will be available to all students in the course, provided the student has registered interest for this and shown evidence of further learning (attended tutorials, shown evidence of extra study, etc). The timing of the re-assessment will be at the discretion of the HOD. Please note that reassessment opportunity requires a student to do a completely new assessment.

First assessment opportunities only will be considered when Chilton awards are being determined.

54

Principal’s Approved Leave An application for Principal’s Approved Leave must be made as early as possible in the term

for which the leave is being requested. The request should state the reason why the leave is being requested and list any NCEA assessments, and their nature, that may be affected. The Principal will determine whether the leave will be approved, or not, and whether any alternative assessment provisions can be approved. Approved alternative assessment arrangements could include:

o handing in an out of class assessment prior to the stated submission date o sitting an in-class assessment early, but no earlier than one calendar week prior

to the actual assessment If no alternative assessment provisions for a standard are granted, a student will be awarded

a Not Achieved grade for any missed assessment. Alternative arrangements cannot normally be approved for assessments involving group work. Secondary parents requesting leave for their daughter for extended holidays cannot expect teaching staff to provide catch-up work on their return to school. Compassionate Consideration Procedures for In-class Assessment

The assessment should be sat by the student, if possible. If a student is absent only on the day of the assessment, she will sit the assessment in the

next spell, providing a written note is received from the parent/caregiver at this time. If note is not received, a Not Achieved grade will be awarded. Should this occur on more than three occasions during the year, a Medical Certificate will need to be received, in lieu of a parental note.

If a student is away on the day of the assessment and no more than three additional spells either before the assessment date, or after it, the student will sit the assessment if they provide a Medical Certificate or other appropriate documentation that covers the assessment date. Failure to provide this appropriate documentation will result in a Not Achieved grade being awarded. Unexplained absence will result in a Not Achieved grade being awarded.

Compassionate Procedures for Long Term Out-of-class Assessments

There is no extension to the hand-in date available. If a student is absent on the due date for the assessment, it must be received by the subject teacher by 11.00am that day if the submission time is prior to 11.00 am, or by the submission time it this is after 11.00 am. Assessment material may be submitted electronically.

For absences in the calendar week prior to final submission date, students should submit the assessment material that was signed off at the most recent pre-submission milestone date. Appeal of an Awarded Grade A student who has a concern regarding the grade awarded for an internally assessed standard should discuss her concern, in the first instance, with her subject teacher. Should this not resolve the matter, the concern should be passed in writing onto the Head of Department. This should be done in writing with the reasons for the concern clearly outlined. In the event that agreement is not reached by these processes, the matter will be dealt with by the Curriculum Manager. His decision will be final. Breach of Assessment Conduct A Not Achieved grade will be awarded for any Achievement or unit Standard in the event that a student breaches assessment expectations.

Music and Performing Arts Philosophy Music and Performing Arts enjoy a high profile at Chilton Saint James School, with high levels of participation in choirs, instrumental groups and performances at all year levels. All students are encouraged to participate in Music and Performing Arts activities. Education in Music and Performing Arts develops cultural knowledge, confidence and presentation skills. In addition, it supports the qualities of reliability, enthusiasm, leadership, initiative and team awareness in every student. A knowledge-base in Music and Performing Arts is an essential ingredient in a broad holistic education, enriching lives beyond the years of school, and opening doors to a wide range of careers. Extra-curricular Music and Performing Arts Programmes complement, but do not replace or duplicate, Music, Dance or Drama curriculum elective subjects. Music and Performing Arts Registration Music Information and Itinerant Tutor Demonstration Evening, Thursday 29 January, 6.30pm, Chilton Theatre. This evening offers parents and students an opportunity to meet music staff and itinerant tutors who will demonstrate a range of musical instruments.

Music and Performing Arts Code of Conduct Every student who participates in the Music and Performing Arts programme must comply with the Music/Performing Arts Code of Conduct, which appears under the Code of Conduct section of the Parent Handbook. Partnership between Home and School The tradition at Chilton of excellent attendance has enabled our performance groups to succeed at the highest level in Inter-School Music and Performing Arts competitions and festivals. We value and appreciate the on-going support we receive from parents in this regard. Students at Senior Secondary School level are encouraged to consider their Music and Performing Arts choices alongside academic requirements, sporting commitments and any leadership responsibilities. For some, this is a time to make choices in order to maintain an appropriate balance. Music and Performing Arts Calendar Events are scheduled throughout the year. A summary of significant dates for each activity is emailed as well as appearing on the Community Calendar. Choirs and instrumental groups also perform at School events and services at Easter and Christmas. Parents must ensure that their daughter is available for these performances. Parents and students should consult the Community Calendar and Weekly Bulletin so they are fully aware of upcoming performing events.

Performance Uniform Unless otherwise stated, the Performance Uniform is the formal School Uniform. Rehearsal Schedule A co-ordinated weekly timetable of practices for groups is published in this section. The rehearsal schedule for each group is set to minimise clashes with other activities at each year level. School Trips / Events Parents are required to read the Weekly Bulletin as this will advertise any School trips / events and related charges incurred. Trip / event costs will be charged to students’ Incidentals account and payment must be made before the event or trip occurs.

Itinerant Tutor Programme

The Chilton Itinerant Tutor programme is a well-established educational opportunity. A full range of musical instrument tuition, singing tuition and speech and drama is available through our Itinerant Tutor Programme. In 2015, tuition will be offered in bass guitar, cello, clarinet, double bass, drums, flute, French horn, guitar, oboe, piano, recorder, saxophone, speech and drama, theory, trombone, trumpet, violin and singing. Our caring, experienced and well qualified Tutors offer superb individual tuition to students wishing to enhance their musical skills. This tuition is a wonderful enrichment opportunity. The academic benefits of learning a musical instrument are well documented, and the stimulation of one-to-one teaching is beneficial to students. Younger students or beginners may, where deemed appropriate, learn in pairs. Meet the Itinerant Tutor and Demonstration Evening. As mentioned above, on Thursday 29 January at 6.30pm in the Chilton Theatre, there is an opportunity to meet and speak with our Music Staff and Itinerant Music Tutors. There will be a demonstration of musical instruments as well as an opportunity to find answers to any queries. Enrolment Forms will be available at the evening and completed Registration Forms may also be handed in. Enrolment Application forms are available at School Reception and on the Chilton website. Completed application forms need to be emailed to [email protected] or handed in to School Reception. For your convenience, a list of Tutors and instruments offered is included on the Music and Performing Arts Registration form together with the fees for all activities. Enrolment Forms should be returned to Reception by Friday 30 January or submitted at the information evening. However, where there are vacancies, a student may enrol for tuition in the Itinerant Tutor Programme during the course of the year, at the start of a new Term. Itinerant Lesson Conditions Students are expected to participate in a suitable School music group, such as a choir, orchestra, band or other ensemble as a condition of enrolment in the Itinerant Tutor Programme. Tutors will advise students when they have reached a minimum playing standard for each particular group. Participating in a group is enormously beneficial to progress and for overall enjoyment. Lesson Times and Timetables At Primary level, Years 1 – 6, a suitable set time is established in consultation with the classroom

teacher and Deputy Principal – Junior School, Mrs Anne Rightford. At Secondary level, Years 7 – 12, a rotating timetable operates in consultation with HOD Music

and Curriculum Manager. At Year 13 level a suitable set time such as a study spell, before or after School, lunch time or

other convenient time may be organised. Lessons are normally 30 minutes long. Secondary students Years 10 – 13 may leave class for a maximum of one NCEA class per week. Any other Tutor lessons must be scheduled before or after school, or lunchtime, by arrangement with the Tutor. Lunchtimes are prioritised for students in Years 11 – 13 by arrangement. Timetables are published on School noticeboards, and students are given their own copy. If illness, a school trip, an NCEA assessment or test, or other special school activity clashes with a lesson time, the lesson that week can usually be rescheduled through consultation between parents, students and the Tutor. It is vital that both students and parents look on the Community Calendar and Weekly Bulletin each week to see if there are any disruptions to the normal School week that might affect scheduled lessons.

83

It is the responsibility of students or parents to notify the Tutor directly by phone or email if a lesson is going to be missed for any reason, including illness. Practice A regular schedule of practice is necessary to maximise the benefits of tuition. Students and parents should set and adhere to times for practice, which should ideally be daily. Grade Examinations and Competition Opportunities The opportunity to sit a Grade Examination (eg Royal Schools, Trinity or NZMEB) is always available. Examinations are a great motivator and stimulus to practice and achievement. Parents should discuss this with the Tutor, who will make the appropriate arrangements when they deem their student a suitable candidate. For some students, this is not an appropriate option, and students can progress very satisfactorily without sitting examinations. Regional Competitions, especially the Hutt Valley Performing Arts Competitions held at the beginning of the July holidays, are recommended as wonderful performance opportunities. Parents are welcome to discuss these opportunities with the Tutor who will assist in preparation. Recitals Our Itinerant Tutors offer their students the opportunity to perform in informal Tutor Recitals once or twice a year. These recitals help build musical performance skills as well as confidence in a supportive and friendly environment. Recitals are held in School House and they provide excellent first step performance opportunities. Details of these Recitals are given by Tutors each Term.

Reports Itinerant Tutor Reports are issued to parents twice a year. Parents should contact their daughter’s Tutor directly and / or the Head of Music, Mrs Ella Hanify, if they have any concerns.

Extra-curricular Sports

This section is designed to give you detailed information with regard to Sport from Year 3 in the Primary School through to Year 13 in the Secondary School. Students are required to register for all of their extra-curricular Sports activities. Registration forms are provided at the back of this Handbook. Information outlined in this section enables students and parents to understand the time and financial commitments involved in pursuing their Sports choices. Sports Personnel Staff contacts for all extra-curricular Sport at the School are:

Mrs Nadine Stembridge, HOD Sport – overall responsibility for Sport, with particular responsibility for Sport involving students in Years 7 – 13.

Mrs Anna Robertson, Primary School Sports Co-ordinator – responsibility for Primary School Sport (Years 3 – 6) and for secondary Touch, Tennis Coaching, Hockey, Orienteering and Waterpolo.

Nadine Stembridge DDI 570 4039 [email protected] Anna Robertson 566 4089 Ext 7910 [email protected] Sports Philosophy The Sports Department’s philosophy for participation in sport at the various ages is as follows: Primary School (Years 3 – 6) Students at Primary School level are encouraged to participate in a variety of sporting activities; the emphasis is on developing skills and on positive reinforcement by parents and coaches. The majority of the Primary School teams are of mixed ability. All students, regardless of their ability, are given an opportunity to participate in practices and game time. Extension of more able students is given in inter-school fixtures where teams will be selected on the basis of their ability. Junior Secondary School (Years 7 – 10) Students at Junior Secondary level are encouraged to participate in a wide variety of sports. Teams are ability selected and a commitment to both practices and games is expected. Families are asked to carefully consider all other commitments within the School and activities outside School when planning for the year. Senior Secondary School (Years 11 – 13) Students at Senior Secondary level are encouraged to consider their sporting choices alongside their Academic and Arts commitments, representative commitments and leadership responsibilities. For some, this is the time to make some choices! Members of top School teams are required to commit to more than one practice per week plus matches. There is an expectation that members of top teams are available to travel to tournament except where extenuating circumstances prevail. Sports Registration Sports Registration Forms are enclosed at the back of this Handbook – please complete the form relevant to your daughter. All Registration Forms and intentions of interest for Coaches and Managers should be completed and returned by Friday 30 January. Students register for both Summer and Winter sport at the beginning of the year however confirmation of Winter sports will be requested before Winter entries are made.

Decisions on after-School cancellations due to weather are not usually made until close to the end of lunchtime. Secondary School Competitions Students and parents in Years 9 – 13 playing in College Sport Wellington competitions can check draws, results tables and cancellations on the College Sport website www.collegesport.org.nz Weekly Bulletin The Weekly Bulletin is produced every Thursday. It includes details of upcoming events and notification of student achievements.

Summer sports are charged at the beginning of Term Two and at the end of Term Four. Winter sports are charged in Term Three.

Sports Code of Conduct Every student who participates in the Sports programme must comply with the Sports Code of Conduct, which appears under the Code of Conduct section of the Parent Handbook. Coaches, Managers and Umpires Participation in sport at Chilton involves in excess of 75% of our students. It is our policy that all teams have a coach and a manager. We could not run our programme without the assistance of parent and student volunteers, whose help we value. If you are able to assist in one of these roles, please return the coaches’ registration of interest form with your daughter’s Sports Registration Form. Coaches’ Education We support and encourage coaches’ education and various opportunities will arise during the course of the year for on-going education. Student Coaches Senior students are encouraged to coach a Junior team if they have an interest in this area. Coaching is acceptable as a Young New Zealanders’ Challenge service requirement. It is a requirement of student coaches that they regularly attend their student coaches’ support sessions and many will have a mentor to help them throughout the year.
