Value replaces Values
e: [email protected]
an article called ‘The Teacher’s Soul and
Performativity’. Not exactly bed-time reading but a statement in
the article caught my eye. ‘Value replaces Values’.
have just finished reading
In the article the author contends that the philosophy driving the
current education sector is one that places a higher importance
on ‘value’, the performance/academic results of a school, than on
‘values’, the character/creativity of the pupil. The author (S Ball)
writes that the consequence of a performance-based education
system is where ‘persons are valued for their productivity alone.
Their value as a person is eradicated. Performance has no room for
caring’. To a large degree I agree with the author. If the only and
greatest goal for a school is to be the ‘top academic’ school in the
country then there is real temptation for a school to focus only on
academic success rather than the character of the child. This is a
deficient and potentially dangerous education.
The danger for a school of focussing solely on academic results is
three-fold:
1. It sends a message to pupils that their value or worth to the
school is tied up in their academic ability and what they
contribute to the academic reputation of the school.
2. It can lead a school down a path of either ‘massaging’ results to
look good, or providing courses to pupils that offer ‘easy to get’
credits without a concern for the appropriateness of that course
for the pupil.
3. It can cause ‘teachers to teach to the test’ (that was a nice
alliteration!) and leave out aspects of the Curriculum that
challenge and stir up a child’s heart to serve or love others.
At Middleton Grange School we strive for both ‘Value and Values’ –
the mind and the heart. This is how we are created and a Christian
school must attend to both, to the whole child. I often think of Luke
2:52 to show that a Christian School should find favour with both
‘man and God’. A Christian School should not merely attend to the
values, the heart of the child. Our pupils are to grow in knowledge
and wisdom, they are to be equipped with the knowledge and skills
to ‘critique and engage contemporary society’ (Mission statement)
just as much as they are to grow in Godly character and their
relationship with Christ.
A balanced Christian Education is one where ‘Value (academic)
and Values (heart)’ sit side by side, not jostling each other for
supremacy, but in unison working together.
Yours in Christ

Poverty Simulation Engagement
Talking about poverty is one thing but experiencing it for your self is REAL LEARNING! The Year 9 Social
Studies classes all participated in a simulation in “family groups” living in a slum. In order to get money
to live the family had to produce sets of ten paper bags made from newsprint and flour glue then try
to sell them to the shopkeepers. It was pretty frantic to do and made you feel quite desperate because
you knew your family wouldn’t eat if you couldn’t make enough in a day.
Pupils’ responses:
“Life in the slums is difficult. Everybody has to work hard. If even one person is slacking, even for a minute,
we won’t make enough money to pay for rent and food. Our family struggled health-wise because no one
went to the free health clinic and we didn’t have enough money for a toilet so when they were sick they
couldn’t make bags. We did grow stronger as a family/team through this experience. “
“My life in the slums wasn’t too bad, as we just make bags to live. We have to pay the loan shark for our
space in the slums or we get thrown “under the bridge” and have to work harder to get out from the loan
shark’s clutches.”
“This activity pretending to live in a slum was really fun, but in real life I think it would be really hard because
you have to live in the worst conditions imaginable and you have to steal just to survive or sell what you
have (like your organs, your clothes or even your children into prostitution or as slaves) just to survive every
day.”
“Intense, hard and stressful!”
This activity feeds back into the classroom as classes continue to study the topic of Injustice and
Justice in the world. Teachers are sure this experience will help the pupils be challenged and determine
to get involved in service activities that will help others’ lives be better.
An Unwasted Day
In Term Three, Year 7 have been
‘cleaning up their act’! We’ve
been investigating waste management, thinking about how
we can make wise decisions
about reducing, re-using and
recycling our waste. Part of our
studies included a trip to the
Materials Recovery Facility in
Parkhouse Rd.
We saw how the materials
We saw the Eco Drop, where
people bring items in for recycling, and we visited the Eco
Shop in Blenheim Rd, where
people can buy items to re-use.
We were encouraged to reduce
the amount of rubbish going
to landfill by making good
choices.
from our yellow bins were
sorted at the Eco Sort and
separated for recycling. We
learned that many products,
such as bags and polar fleeces,
are made from recycled plastic.
Did you know that 32 plastic
milk bottles were used to make
one green recycling crate? Also,
did you know that recycling 12
newspapers can save one tree?
“I learnt about the sorting
process. Also, I thought there
were 3 Rs, but there are actually 5! I would love to learn

Year 3 & 4 started with a theme of
‘weird and wacky’ and used recycled
materials to create their weird and

On the second day we had the opportunity to sit in on Parliament’s question time, after which we agreed that we were far more

Overall, my time at the conference was challenging but most

(SCHOGM) is an annual event held in Wellington and run by mainly
post-graduate students. I was honoured to represent Middleton
Grange as the Foreign Minister of Samoa at said event, working
alongside a pupil from New Plymouth.
Over two packed days, we were welcomed with a special
message from the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, and
presented with a wide range of issues and problems that are
now facing the Commonwealth. These areas covered Citizenship,
Migrants and Refugees, Youth Development and Climate Change
alongside a variety of individual issues that certain countries held
to be important.
Samoa had an active voice in all these issues.
Climate Change is a particular worry for the lowlying island, whose natural resources and livelihood
are threatened by rising waters. I had the privilege of

over the holidays, the Primary Library ran
a “Bundle Up With a Book” activity. The

books they had read. If they returned their
sheets to the library, they got a small prize. Konnichiwa

Senior Boys’ Basketball South Island
Champions
The Senior Boys’ Basketball team were dominant at the
South Island Secondary Schools’ Basketball Championships, winning their 8 games by an average of 35.6 points
a game on their way to the school’s first South Island
Secondary Schools’ Basketball Championship.
The final was played against a hungry Burnside High
School team who came out firing, leading at half time
46-40. But our boys stayed calm, winning the second half
50-30 to grind out a 90-76 victory and take home the silverware.
The team now has 25 wins and 0 losses in competition play for the season and have qualified as
the #1 seed for the National Championships which will take place in Palmerston North during the first
week of the school holidays.
Y 9 & 10 Basketball
Our Year 9 and 10 Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball teams competed in
the South Island Junior Secondary Schools’ Tournament in Nelson.
Both teams performed particularly well, placing 6th in their respective competitions. Many of the other teams were impressed with
our boys’ aggressive defence and their skill - with a little more
height they would have been strong contenders for the top
four. The girls’ team was led by Sofia Kennedy (Y10) and Megan
Ellis (Y10) who were both among the best female players at the
tournament.
Girls’ Football Agonizingly Close at Gary Sowden
Trophy
The 1st XI Football Girls came agonizingly close to winning the Gary Sowden
Trophy Championship in Ashburton during tournament week, losing the final
1-0 to Otago Girls’ High after hitting the cross-bar twice and conceding a penalty goal late in the game. The girls represented the school in an exceptional
manner, and should be proud of their hard earned 2nd place. Caitlin Steele had
a spectacular tournament, scoring an incredible 10 goals.
Boys’ Football
The Middleton Grange Raiders were based in Christchurch during Tournament
Week. Reaching the quarter finals, they dispatched Shirley Boys 3-1 in comprehensive fashion to reach the top four. Unfortunately they were unable to push
on to win the tournament, with Pakuranga College just edging them out 1-0
in the Semi Finals. Overall the team can be proud of their efforts and lived out
their motto: Head, Heart, Believe. Special mentions go to our fantastic keeper
Max Collingwood (Y10), named as MVP for the tournament and Munashe
Saruchera who scored the most goals. The team also want to acknowledge the
hard work of coach Isaac Stanton who has given so much to the team over the
last 3 years.

• The Year 7A Girls’ Netball Team won a tough semi-finals game and went on to play in
the U12 Grade final. This was another tough game; they fought well and came 2nd.
• Middleton Grange took 1st place at the Canterbury Y7-8 Hip Hop Championships.
This is the first year we have entered.
• The Year 7 & 8 A Boys’ Basketball were undefeated in the weekly competitions and
competed in the South Island Championships, coming 2nd by a whisker. The boys
were also voted by the other teams as the most fair team – a fantastic credit to their
character and their representation of Middleton Grange!
• The Intermediate Boys’ Basketball completed an undefeated season, winning their
basketball grade.
• Satori Dobbie (Y11) and Mitchell Campbell (Y11) will represent Middleton Grange at
the Secondary School Swimming Championships in Hamilton. • In the first undefeated season since 2000, the senior A Boys’ Basketball recently
won the Thompson Trophy, defeating Cashmere High School 80-68 in the Final.
The Thompson Trophy is the most important trophy in Christchurch High School
Basketball.
• 1st XI Girls’ Football - The Girls’ 1st XI beat Cashmere High 1st XI 3-1 in the final of the
Premier 2 School Sport Canterbury Grade.
• The 2nd XI Boys’ Football formed initially as a social team. Realising how good they
were, they rose to the challenge and won their final 1 - 0 against Oxford Area School
1st XI making them the 2nd XI grade champions.
Also a great effort from two teams who narrowly lost their finals:

Although we did not win any titles this year, we were the only school to place in the top
three in all four grades. Our young Senior Open A boys (all but one Year 11 players) battled
hard before finally succumbing in the final to an older, more experienced Dunstan High
School team. Our Junior Girls, all first year players, also lost to Dunstan in their final, but
fought very hard, being on level terms at half time. We are keenly anticipating rematches
with arch-rivals Dunstan next year!
Big congratulations to those selected for tournament teams, Girls: Rachel Bedggood,
Bleuette Hille; Boys: Matt Carter, Tom Malcolm and Renzo Childs. Also, those selected
for the Mainland Under 18 teams: Rachel,
Bleuette, Matt, Tom, Renzo, Mahalia Dyck,
Kayleigh Gouman, Emma Malcolm and Brad
Taylor.
Big thanks to our coaches and all the parents who came and supported. We had 30
players but a total party of 75. It was great to
have so much support for what has become
one of the big events of the Middleton year.

Social Media & Body Image
‘So God created mankind in his own
image, in the image of God he created
them; male and female he created them.’
Genesis 1:27
The following article from Common Sense Media suggests some great suggestions to support teenagers as they
navigate social media.
How do teens’ experiences on social media
influence their body image? Today’s teens
not only have the ability to share their
thoughts, their photos, and their videos,
they also have 24-hour-a-day access to
feedback from others. On social media,
teens also have access to an unending
stream of other people’s pictures and
posts — and let’s not forget, often the most
carefully selected and flattering snapshots
of their peers. Developmentally, it’s no
surprise that teens are lured by the appeal
of peer feedback and the opportunity for
social approval. But social media create
unique challenges for parenting, particularly related to body image.
Ask your teens how they decide
which photos of themselves to
share.
A perfectly curated online identity looks
effortless. But in reality, people are intentional about what they share, and quite a
bit of thought and effort goes into portraying a certain image. Invite your teens to
think about a difficult day or day they felt
unattractive — did they share it online?
Why or why not? Can they recall a time
when a friend shared a less-than-perfect
photo? Consider opening up about your
own process about what you post or don’t
post. What motivates all of us to share, or
not to share, certain snapshots of our lives
online?
Encourage your teens to view
photos and comments online with a
critical eye.
There are two major ways social media
can impact body image for teens.
First, because teens see so many flattering pictures of others online, they may
start to believe that everyone else always
looks beautiful and perfect.
Cantamath
Middleton Grange received many Highly
Josh
Commended and Excellence Awards this
year, along with one of only four Cantamath
Outstanding Awards. Josh Tasker’s (Y9) very
clever and original idea earned him this welldeserved award for the 2nd year in a row! His
blocks have been arranged to spell ‘CANTA’
when viewed from one angle and ‘MATH’
when viewed from another.
10
The second way is through the feedback
that teens individually receive about their
photos. They may begin to believe what
people say about them, or even develop insecurity when no one comments. Counter
the perception that everyone else is always
camera-ready by explaining how photos
don’t tell the whole story, may have been
digitally altered, or simply may be taken
out of context. Help your teens deal with
online comments by asking questions
about both the photos that they view and
the feedback that they receive.
Praise your teen for things other
than his or her looks.
It may seem obvious, but you need to
help balance the feedback teens receive
online. It can be intoxicating to receive likes
and positive reinforcement in response
to a flattering picture. Try to focus your
feedback on other aspects of your teen’s
identity — skills, hobbies, and interests.
Encourage them to curate a positive digital
footprint online by presenting an identity
that is balanced and highlights their whole
character.
Congratulations!
