SUMMARY:PPTA Strike
DESCRIPTION:Teachers across NZ are holding an industrial strike day this Wednesday. This means that union members will not be working. Our college will remain open\, but our usual timetable will be suspended due to the unavailability of staff. The expectation is that students catch up on\, or revise work\, at home. \nFamilies who require their children to be onsite will need to let attendance@bdsc.school.nz know so a register can be maintained for safety purposes. Students coming in will be supervised in the library by non-union staff members. They will need to bring their personal learning devices with them to undertake individual and independent learning. \nPlease note our Uniform Shop will be closed on this day.

SUMMARY:Mentor and Tutor Meetings
DESCRIPTION:Year 9\, 10 and 11- Meet the Tutor: opportunity to meet the tutor and discuss common questions that parents may have\, along with sharing information about individual needs. \nStudent-teacher Mentor Meetings: For students who need additional academic mentoring\, and have been allocated a mentor\, parents will be invited to meet with the mentor and student in Term One. This purpose is to ensure that expectations are clear\, goals are shared and pathways (courses and careers) are discussed. Students will spend time with their mentor preparing for this meeting. Meeting face-to-face will help reinforce the home-College partnership we may need throughout the year to address any concerns. \n\nFor more information\, please refer to the Parent-Guardian Handbook.

SUMMARY:2023 Year 11 Programme Information Evening
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”25876″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Cabinet announced in February 2020 a significant review and reform of the NCEA qualification. The process of strengthening NCEA was to improve well-being\, equity\, coherence\, pathway and credibility for students and teachers. The NCEA change package will be implemented over the course of five years\, starting in 2023. At BDSC we have been working closely with our staff to anticipate and prepare for the NCEA change package\, and in response have developed a new Year 11 programme for 2023. \nTo learn more about what the Year 11 programme looks like and what it will mean for your child\, we invite the parents of current Years 9 and 10 students to an information evening on Thursday 4 August at 7pm in the Performing Arts Centre. \nIn preparation for these changes and our information evening\, here is some helpful information:\n· Year 11 Programme changes https://www.bdsc.school.nz/wp-content/uploads/Year-11-Programme-Changes-2023.pdf \n· FAQs https://www.bdsc.school.nz/wp-content/uploads/2023-Year-11-Programme-FAQs.pdf. \nShould you have any further questions or queries ahead of the information evening\, please note them in this form so we can answer them on the evening https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=1ZIs2WpndE-5_gL3rlfbJc64W5BweRNDpiWwxA2Jtq9UQ0RKV09RNFpTU0dEWFlEVkJPTTZZWlg2Qi4u. \nIn the interest of health and safety\, we ask that all attendees wear a face mask and if feeling unwell\, please stay home.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
