The education renewal programme is not only about rebuilding and renewing property, it is also about supporting schools and communities to raise the student achievement levels of students...When the renewal process is complete modern learning environments will be common throughout greater Christchurch.
What does this mean for students and teachers?
When the transformation process is complete:
- ChCh students will be learning in modern, flexible and digitally connected classrooms
- teachers will have up-to date facilities and teaching tools at their disposal
- schools will be working together in clusters providing students with flexible, personalised learning options.
The investment in infrastructure will support new ways of teaching and learning based around learning communities, small groups of schools providing flexible and personalised learning for students in their local area.

So,what does this mean for Shirley Primary School?
We are one of 58 schools due for a moderate upgrade to the value of $5 million.
The BoT and staff are working with the Ministry of Education and their appointed architect to begin planning what this will like. We are very keen to provide students and the community with the opportunity to input their ideas and vision for the future too.
