background:

The Kelston Visioning Project aims to provide outstanding education for the Kelston Community through seamless educational pathways and strong school collaboration. The schools involved are Kelston Girls’ College, Kelston Boys’ High School, Kelston Intermediate School, St. Leonard’s Road School, and Ko Taku Reo.

A major component of this is establishing the Kelston Learning Campus: Ngā Ara Mātauranga o Kerehana. This would be a shared site for the secondary schools and possibly the intermediate. This project was designed to achieve the following:

• Have an innovative, modern, and responsive learning facility for Kelston located in Kelston.
• Reduce travel costs and time for those living in Kelston requiring options and facilities not currently available in Kelston.
• Provide greater economic efficiency through shared resources while preserving a blend of co-educational and single-sex education strategies.
• Introduce a new education configuration that facilitates schools and local communities working together.
• Increase collaboration for school-wide implementation of learning strategies for the modern learning environment.
• Unite schools and the community through the values of courage, community, collaboration, and creativity.
