GCSN website launch


Last week, I attended the official launch of the GCSN website at Burnside High School. I am a member of the technical and curriculum advisory groups and I sit on the principal's steering group and so it was great to be at the event along with the Minister for Education, Anne Tolley.

The website will now form the hub of activity for schools involved in the Greater Christchurch School's Network, providing information on services and learning opportunities for staff and students among other things. In addition there are news feeds and the opportunity to subscribe to newsletters and RSS updates from the site.

This is the culmination of a great deal of work by many people over the last five years. We are all very proud that Canterbury is leading the nation in this area. We have more schools signed up to the network than any other region in the country and we are now starting to make use of this high speed connection between our schools and the internet. Fendalton has been connected for a couple of months and we are currently looking at ways in which we can link up with other schools to take advantage of the possibilities now open to us. High definition video conferencing is something that we are very keen to explore as we seek to offer our children the very best learning experiences that we can. Exciting times.

    There is nοthing better than being able to knockout уour
    opponent quickly due to a sudden, sharρ blow
    to thе heаd. Be аwaгe that some schοols onlу offer a "junior" blаcκ belt to studеnts under
    a ceгtaіn age (typically either 16 οr 18), аnԁ that іf уоur
    сhild wants to retain blаck
    belt status beyond thаt, he maу neeԁ to rе-test
