Seizing Future Opportunities

The vision we have for our SEHC ākonga is one who will be innovative, connected, compassionate and engaged. They will seize the opportunities offered to them by new knowledge, skills and technologies to secure a sustainable social, cultural, economic and environmental future for Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Values & Ethical Decisions

Through their learning experiences, ākonga will be able to express their own values and aspirations, and explore with empathy, the values of others. They will critically analyse these values to be able to make ethical decisions about how and why their contribution to society is important, while maintaining their cultural connections to whānau, whenua and wairua.

There are many pathways beyond school
We aim to support students in their journey through school to achieve an NCEA Qualification as well as developing the skills and competencies for work, training and tertiary pathways.

Planning on Leaving School?

Traditional & Digital Learning​

At SEHC we believe in using technology positively to enhance and enable learning. Our blended approach to teaching and learning, using both traditional teaching methods and modern e-learning techniques, combine to support all our ākonga with their learning programmes.

Embracing Technology
We use Google Apps for Education (GAFE) for collaboration between ākonga and kaiako as well as many other types of software across different learning areas.

Beyond the Classroom
We also support ākonga to join and create communities of learners that extend beyond the classroom and assist in the creation of supportive learning environments by offering resources that take account of individual, cultural, or developmental differences.

Bring Your Own Device
All students are encouraged to take part in our BYOD programme to integrate their learning both inside and outside of school and to take advantage of the information and collaborative opportunities the world wide web and access to technology provides.

Types of Digital Devices
Their device might be a laptop, a Chromebook or a tablet – any Internet-capable device with a keyboard that can assist learning. A mobile phone is not an appropriate device to be used as a learning tool in these contexts.

Accessing Digital Devices
Whānau who are on a benefit may be able to gain assistance from WINZ to purchase a device. We also have devices that can be booked out for school use on a daily basis.

Pouhāpai As Advocate & Champion

A ‘pillar of strength’, the Pouhāpai is entrusted with nurturing and illuminating the way forward for our ākonga. A mentor, advocate and champion for our students, the Pouhāpai is the central link between the school, whānau and student.

Pouhāpai will communicate with home at regular intervals during the year and is the first point of contact between school and whānau.

The Pouhāpai will help with pathways planning, tracking and monitoring academic progress, communicating with whānau and encouraging their students to strive towards their Far Horizons.
