Congratulations on a smooth and settled start to the learning year.
BROADGREEN STORY
Belonging to Broadgreen is to know our ‘story’ that is what we stand for and who we are, our identity. Four
significant features at our school entrance symbolise our ‘story’ as follows;
VOICE BOX:
This sculpture is at the front of the school to ensure students are the forefront of our care and considerations. It
has sculptured faces of ex-students, the lid of the box is permanently removed to let the ‘voices out’
symbolising the school’s role in developing student voice through learning and leadership.
3 COLUMNS:
These columns are the colours of the houses representing our local history, virtues and contributing schools.
These acknowledge students’ previous learning and experiences they bring to Broadgreen. The 3 columns
represent the 3 opportunity’s presented at Broadgreen ie to self-improve, develop an existing talent/skill further
and to challenge oneself through trying something new – stepping out of our comfort zone.
MAORI CARVING:
This well crafted feature acknowledges the uniqueness of New Zealand that is our Maori heritage and the
importance of Maori students and their contributions to Broadgreen.
STAR:
The star’s at the foot of our flagpole symbolise the Sothern Cross constellation. They also represent the
‘Broadgreen Way’ ie
Safe
Together
Achieving
Respectful
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AT BROADGREEN
Intermediate education is often viewed as a transitional time for students as they move from primary to
secondary education. The two-year time frame is short and students develop quickly, physically and socially.
Often intermediate is viewed by many parents and students as a time of increasing independence and therefore
less direct parental involvement with the school. Below is a list of possible opportunities that I encourage you
to consider as ways of participating in the ‘life’ of Broadgreen Intermediate School. Your service and
contributions are appreciated.
