Our Year 9 parents are invited to attend an information evening on Thursday 27 February at 6:30pm - 8:00pm in the school hall.

This year we introduce a Whāre (House) structure which will see all students placed in one of four whāre where they will be supported by a Kaiarataki (Head of House) who will work alongside the Kaitiaki (Dean of House) and a group of whānau teachers.

With the introduction of our new vertical whanau groups (years 9-13), it is important for a partnership to be formed between the Whanau Teacher and Parents/Caregivers to assist our students to achieve to their full potential.

FRIDAY 6th MARCH, 4.30 - 8.00 PM AT RICCARTON HIGH SCHOOL in the Hall.

Coming to school and arriving at school on time are the first steps in succeeding.

The first of our regular fortnightly reports will be emailed home at the end of week 3, Friday 19 February. Students at all levels will receive a grade for each subject, which is not based on academic performance, but on a student’s attitude and application to their studies.

At Riccarton High School, we firmly believe the best approach is blended learning, where the primary focus is on the learning rather than the tools used to deliver it.

All Year 9s go to the lodge in the second term.

At the end of term 2, our Year 9 students and the students from the Kohanga Ako will visit Rāpaki marae, and have the opportunity to experience a pōwhiri in the whare nui.

It is fun and rewarding to improve in things, whether they be sports or musical instruments.

The Riccarton High School Library is very different from any other in New Zealand. We have partnered with Christchurch City Libraries to offer a joint-use library for our school and the community of Upper Riccarton to share together.

Introducing the 2020 Executive Committee...

The purpose of the PTA is to create a close association between parents and the school.

The PTA sells second-hand uniforms on behalf of families.

Usually, your child's whanau teacher is the first contact for most matters as they see your child regularly.

The school has a clear set of evacuation procedures to follow in the event of an emergency e.g. fire or earthquake. These are practised at least once a term.

The first invoice will be emailed to every family in the school community shortly.

We specifically ask that parents do not use the Main South Road driveway and the library carpark as a drop-off or pick-up point, or drive onto the school grounds through the main gate (entered from Vicki Street).
