1.      Introduction

Marlborough High School opened in 1900 as a co-educational school. In 1919 the school changed its
name to Marlborough College. The school roll rose from 342 in 1946 to 1205 in 1962. When the
government decided to build a second secondary school in Blenheim the community voted for single
sex education. The school was renamed Marlborough Boys’ College in 1963 when Marlborough Girls’
College was opened on another site.

The school serves Blenheim and the surrounding Marlborough area and draws students from
contributing schools that range from decile 2 to 10.

Marlborough is a region of great geographical diversity, and rich history. Covering an area that
includes the internationally renowned beauty of the Marlborough Sounds, to the rugged Pacific
coastline in the east, and able to boast New Zealand's largest farm, Marlborough is full of variety.

Human exploitation of the regional resources began with Maori who hunted moa, and harvested
flax, and eels from the area that is now Blenheim. Further south, kumara gardens were planted
along the coast. European activities began with sealing and whaling, but later logging, gold mining,
and pastoral farming became important local industries as the region developed. Pastoral farming
remained a mainstay of the economy up until recently with viticulture now dominating land use.

Today Marlborough is one of the southern hemisphere's most important wine growing regions.
Pastoral farming still continues, albeit on a much reduced scale. With the wine industry, an
increasing focus on tourism has also developed, and the natural beauty of the Marlborough Sounds
along with other parts of the region provide an ideal environment for eco-tourism.

The regional population remains low and concentrated in a few towns. At the 2013 census the
permanent regional population stood at 43,416 up from 42,549 in 2006 and from 39,555 in 2001. By
far the largest proportion of the population lives in Blenheim, with a population of 29,292. Other
towns include Picton (serviced by Queen Charlotte College), Havelock, Seddon, Ward, Renwick and
Wairau Valley. The permanent population is expanded considerably by seasonal workers employed
in the region's vineyards.

Incomes in Marlborough are lower than the national average. Median income of people in
Marlborough is $27,900 compared to $28,500 nationally. Work tends to be focused around primary
production with viticulture and forestry providing a great deal of employment. Tourism and
aquaculture are growth sectors in employment.

Marlborough Boys’ College is a school that has undergone major change since 2009.
Since the start of 2010 the school has:
     Repaid a $1.3m loan to the MOE.
     Appointed a new principal, a new deputy principal, 2 new assistant principals, 4 new head of
        faculties and a new deaning team.
     Been supported greatly by the community in general and the PTA, Old Boys’ Association and
        the recently created Marlborough College Charitable Foundation in particular.

                                                                                            Page 1 of 43

   Continued to have outstanding sporting and arts successes.
       Raised academic achievement considerably despite a changing demographic profile
        highlighted by the school dropping from decile 7 to decile 6 in 2014.

Marlborough Boys’ College acknowledges its obligation and is committed to:
1. Fulfilling all the requirements set out in the National Education Goals
2. Administering the School according to the National Administration Guidelines
3. Delivering the curriculum to all students in a balanced programme as outlined in the National
   Curriculum Statements.
4. Developing, for the school, policies and practices that reflect New Zealand's cultural diversity
   and the unique position of the Māori culture.

Marlborough Boys’ College and Cultural Diversity

When developing policies and practices for the school every endeavour is made to reflect cultural
diversity and the unique position of the Maori culture.

Recognising New Zealand’s cultural diversity
Marlborough Boys’ College has policies, programmes and procedures in place to reflect the cultural
diversity of New Zealand and the unique position of Maori.
All cultures within the school are valued, accepted and celebrated through active encouragement of
an inclusive school culture and values. Staff members ensure that students from all cultures are
treated with respect and dignity, and actively work towards maximising the potential of each
student irrespective of cultural backgrounds.

The Unique Position of the Maori Culture
 At Marlborough Boys’ College we endeavour to be proactive in fostering cultural understanding
    consistent with the Treaty of Waitangi – to honour the concepts of protection, participation and
    partnership.
 Students who choose to can study Te Reo Maori in full year programmes.
 In 2016 all year 9 students will study Te Reo/Tikanga as part of their compulsory curriculum.
 All staff and students will be exposed to opportunities to experience Tikanga Maori (Maori
    protocol and culture). Steps taken to incorporate Tikanga Maori into the culture of the school
    and the school’s curriculum include:
        o Tikanga Maori being part of MBC culture – “what we do around here.” For example,
            powhiri for new students and staff at the start of the year, blessing of new buildings,
            signage in Maori and displays of Maori art work.
        o Haka as part of school prize giving and beginning of sporting events.
        o Presence of school personnel at Maori events. For example, tangi, kapa haka festivals
            and manu korero competitions.
        o Staff are encouraged to implement culturally appropriate classroom programmes and
            incorporate dimensions of tikanga into daily programmes. For example, greetings,
            commands, language related to everyday objects, days, months and numbers.
        o Professional development for staff to develop greater understanding of Te Reo and
            Tikanga Maori.
        o Opportunity for staff to join a staff kapa haka group.

Steps taken to discover the views and concerns of the school’s Maori community
 In both 2012 and 2013 a Maori parent was co-opted as a Board of Trustees member.

   Communication with Maori occurs in various ways:
       o Report evenings
       o Whānau/student/teacher Conference Days

                                                                                           Page 2 of 43
Marlborough Boys' College Charter 2016 2018 2018
o   Whanau hui
        o   Newsletters
        o   Maori parents co-opted onto Maori Action Group (MAG)
        o   Iwi representatives co-opted onto MAG
        o   School events involving students
        o   Maintaining open door practice encouraging families to approach the school
        o   Fundraising meetings for Maori events.

    Consultation occurs through whanau hui and formal and informal meetings with representatives
     of local iwi – contact with local iwi increased in 2015.

2.      Mission Statement
Inspiring and educating the young men of Marlborough to fulfil their potential.

3.      Values Statement
Young Men of Marlborough strive to be:
   Respectful
   Responsible
   Involved
   Proud
   The best that they can be.

4.      Vision Statement
To create for the young men of Marlborough an inspirational learning environment in which high
expectations exist in all endeavours.

5.      Strategic/Charter Goals
a) To provide a safe and positive learning environment with a focus on the promotion of school
   values especially pride and respect.
b) To raise expectations and academic achievement for all with a focus on priority learners
   including Maori, Pasifika and students with special education needs.
c) To increase participation and raise achievement in the Arts, Sport and Leadership.
d) To consolidate a culture of continuous improvement through self-review across all aspects of
   activity.
e) To effectively manage the school’s assets.
f) To have positive relationships with our community for the mutual benefit of all.
g) To plan for a seamless transfer to a new site in 2021 with inspirational learning environments
   complementing state of art facilities that recognise both our long history and bicultural and
   multicultural facets of our school.

                              Review of Charter and Consultation
The Board of Trustees undertook extensive consultation in 2011 and 2012 that resulted in the
existing Mission Statement, Values, Vision Statement and Strategic/Charter Goals. Revisions have
been made to the Strategic/Charter goals since then. Consultation by the Board in 2014 and 2015
has resulted in a concentration on specific focus areas (academic, arts, sport, and
leadership/service). Goal b) has been modified to focus purely on academic achievement and goal c)
is new. Goal C has triggered higher strategic planning expectations and financial support to
identified planned projects in defined areas from both the board, groups established to support the
school and community groups. Significant consultation has taken place since 2013 on the nature and
siting of secondary education in Marlborough. Goal f) is new and reflects the outcomes of
deliberations on the school’s future siting and character.

                                                                                         Page 3 of 43

   *Small numbers – not too much should be read into these figures.

   Supporting higher ability students to achieve to their potential has been a focus of annual plans since 2011 and
   our more academic students have been achieving at a significantly higher level than they were in the past.

2009 and 2013 the school averaged 2 or less Scholarships. The last 2 years has seen an increase to 11 in 2014 with
4 being Outstanding Scholarships and 8 in 2015 with 1 being an Outstanding Scholarship.

                                                                                                       Page 7 of 43
Marlborough Boys' College Charter 2016 2018 2018
The critical factor to maintaining the momentum of increased academic achievement is the
supporting of “at risk” groups including:

        a) Students with specific learning needs – we have 127 students (up from 97 in 2014) with
           identified moderate to severe learning needs who need extra support to achieve to their
           potential.
           This concern is compounded for 2016 by a dramatic increase in the number of Year 9
           entrants who scored in the lower stanines in nationally moderated entrance testing. In
           reasoning the % of 2016 year 9 students scoring in the lowest 3 stanines was 46% up from
           36% for the 2015 cohort. Students can score from stanine 1 (bottom 10%) to Stanine 9 (top
           10%). The 2016 entrance results were:

These results are consistent with the pattern shown in the MidYIS results which are standardised tests
taken by students across the country. 2015 figures showed that 41% of our 2015 Year 9 intake scored in
the lowest D band for their overall MidYIS result. Nationally 25% of students are in this band. We have
16% higher in this band than the national average.

                                                                                            Page 8 of 43
b) Students out of school due to stand-down and suspension have reduced learning
   opportunities. Stand down and suspension figures dropped dramatically in 2015 due to new
   programmes in place that will be consolidated in 2016.

c) While the number of Māori being stood-down or suspended dropped from 39 in 2014 to 14
   in 2015 Maori remain over represented in stand-down and suspension figures and the gap
   in academic results while closing remains – see table top page 7.

d) Pasifika and other groups for whom English is a second language.
   We have increasing Pasifika numbers.
            2014               2015              2016               2017

     Pasifika migrant families are arriving in Marlborough under new quota arrangements to
     work in the wine industry. They offer wonderful diversity to our school and community.
     However, many students arrive with English as a second language and need support to
     achieve.

e) Students due to poverty or other home circumstances who arrive at school in an
   unteachable state and who need extra support to achieve to their potential.

f)   Year 13 students studying level 3 who fail to achieve the necessary balance between
     academic school and work/social/sporting/cultural pursuits. We are pleased that students
     are staying at school longer. The average retention rates in the senior school has risen. Over
     the last 5 years the average % of students moving from year 11 to year 12 has been 88%.
     The average for the preceding 5-year period was 78%. Over the last 5 years the average % of
     students moving from year 12 to year 13 has been 83%. The average for the preceding 5-
     year period was 75%. Our challenge is to meet the needs of those staying to year 13 but
     studying a combined level 2 and 3 programme which makes achieving level 3 difficult.

                                                                                       Page 9 of 43

2016 Initiatives to cope with these challenges and help consolidate the momentum of
increased academic achievement.

Initiative 1 – Supporting students to live by the values of MBC and to be the best they can be – to be
in the maximum teachable state.
PB4L Tier 1
           • Programme to support school values and expectations to be consistently accepted by
                90%+ students.
PB4L Tier 2
           • Maintain an Inclusion Centre in the school for the 5%+ students who are at times in a non-
                teachable space.
Our PTA are supporting this initiative in 2016.

Initiative 2 – Support students identified as having specific learning issues.
Supporting students with:
          Specific learning needs.
          Identified learning gaps
          Low literacy levels including migrants for whom English is a second language.
Successful applications have been made to the Jack Checkley Trust, the Rata Foundation and the MBC
Board of Trustees in support of these initiatives.

Initiative 3 – Upskill the teachers
Focus on Classroom Practice (sharpening our tools) – we are getting MOE funded Professional
Development through the Blenheim Community of Schools to support best teaching practices with
writing as a major focus related to:
      Literacy
      Māori
      Pasifika
      GATE
      Well-being
Our school budget will pay for Professional Development to upskill staff in their subject areas and to
meet compliance expectations such as First Aid certificates.
Additional support is being provided by the Board of Trustees to enable staff and students to make best
use of e learning in the classrooms as more and more students arrive in Year 9 having had BYOD
experience.

Initiative 4 – Continue to focus on new learning opportunities for students, especially those with work
aspirations.
                                                                                             Page 10 of 43
In 2016 we will be planning with MGC for a NZ School of Wine and a Services Academy to start in 2017.
 We are seeking community funding to establish a Microsoft Academy in 2016.

 Initiative 5 – Continue to focus on the raised expectations that our more academic students will be
 supported to achieve to their potential.
 The Marlborough College Foundation is supporting programmes to consolidate our improved
 scholarship and excellence/merit pass rates.

 Initiative 6 – Have targeted plans to support Māori and Pasifika Achievement.
 We have funding from the Rata Foundation for 2016 that will support Māori and Pasifika achievement
 programmes. The MOE through Kia Eke Panuku funding is also supporting Maori achievement
 programmes.

 Initiative 7 – Focusing on changing the year 13 focus
 An action plan is to be created.

2016 Strategic Challenges

 B. The desire to enhance Leadership and Service programmes at MBC

    Leadership and associated service are an integral part of our intent on developing all-round balanced
    young men that the Marlborough community can be proud of. Leaders need to be nurtured and
    supported starting at year 9. Our leadership action plan provides the opportunity for this to happen.
    2016 goals are to:
      Increase the number of boys applying for prefect roles and engaged in leadership and service
        opportunities.
      Provide leadership opportunities and development through organised programmes at all levels.
      Provide greater mentoring opportunities through Old Boys’ Association initiatives.

                          See 2016 Leadership Action Plan page 31.
                                                                                             Page 11 of 43

2016 Strategic Challenges

 C. The desire to enhance Arts programmes at MBC

Students at Marlborough Boys’ College are offered wonderful opportunities in musical and the
performing arts. Our musical tutors are very experienced and the standard of musical performance is
very strong. Senior and junior musical productions, the Big Sing and Southern Jam have continued to
showcase the talents of our students as have performances of our Maori and Pasifika performing arts
groups.

In 2015 thanks to a very generous grant from the Redwood Trust and a grant from Creative New Zealand
performance music, our choirs and our Maori kapa haka and Pacifica performance groups all benefitted
from greater funding than they have in recent years.

2016 will be a year of transition for the Arts with a new Arts Co-ordinator. The Board of Trustees are
providing support of the arts in 2016 as we transition through this period.

The 2016 goal is to have increased opportunities in the Arts through providing financial support to
create a position of Arts Co-ordinator and support musicians, choirs, drama and Maori and Pasifika
performance groups.

                            See 2016 Arts Action Plan page 32-33.

                                                                                              Page 13 of 43
2016 Strategic Challenges
D. The desire to enhance Sporting Programmes at MBC

Marlborough Boys’ College has a proud tradition of sporting excellence and involvement of students in a
large array of sporting activities. The school in 2015 supported sport and its participants for the first
time in many years by subsidising teacher relief and supporting individual Sports based on the level of
competition they were participating in. A successful application to the Redwood Trust will enable
ongoing support in this area in 2016. Other community trusts will support individual codes.

In 2016 the Old Boys’ Association and the Board of Trustees have agreed to continue subsidising the
maintenance of the swimming pool and front field and the Kiwisport programme that allows up to 150
students each lunch hour at College Park to undertake physical activity in a supervised environment.

The 2016 goal is to enhance the support of Sport by subsidising teacher relief and supporting individual

6.   Targets
Achievement in the senior school – overall.

The 2016 NCEA goal is to have results above the 2011-2015 average and higher than the average for boys in
comparable decile rating schools.

This will require improved grades than those achieved at 2015 which in line with fluctuations that have occurred
in recent years declined at all levels from 2014.

Scholarship success has slowly increased in recent years from 0 in 2011, to 2 in 2012 and 3 in 2013. In 2014
scholarship programmes funded by the Marlborough College Charitable Foundation were introduced with
dramatic success. In 2014, 11 scholarships were achieved with 4 being outstanding scholarships. In 2015, 8
scholarships were achieved with 1 being an outstanding scholarship. The 2016 target is to consolidate the recent
increases.

Targets for priority learner groups
 Priority learner group 1. Maori
Maori Achievement
Achievement rates for Maori since 2011 especially in level 1 and 2 have been significantly higher than the
2006 – 10 average. At level 1 the average % of Maori passing rose from a 42% average 2006-2010 to a 66%
average 2011-2015. The gap between the Maori and total population achievement has closed at all levels. The
Year 11 gap closed from 22% 2006-2010 to 13% 2011-2015. The Level gap closed from 11% to 7% in level 2 and
from 13% to 11% in level 3.

                 Year 11 -                     Year 12 -                Year 13 -

    2011-15

As with the total population Maori figures have fluctuated in recent years and like the total population Maori
scores were lower in 2015 than in 2014. The 2015 result for Maori were very disappointing at level 1 and 3 being
significantly lower than the 2011-15 averages.

                 Year 11 -                     Year 12 -                Year 13 -

The long-term aspirational goal is to have Māori students achieve at levels comparable with their year-level
peers. The 2016 goal is to Maori achieve at all levels above the 2011-15 averages.

The school has been involved in the Kia Eke Panuku programme in 2014 – 2015. The focus of this is on having
staff provide culturally responsive and relational pedagogy in their lessons. Rongohia e hau is a mechanism that
is used to show where on a continuum one off lessons display culturally responsive pedagogy. Between 2014
and 2015 the number of observations that scored at levels 4 or 5 (highly responsive) increased from 19% to
31%. The goal for 2016 is to increase this figure to 35%.

Maori truancy in 2015 declined but remained higher than the whole population.

Diploma

The Diploma system is used in the junior school to encourage personal self-management and positive attitudes
to learning. It is also a measure of student engagement. Students are assessed by staff each term on defined
criteria and can achieve a Gold, Silver or Bronze Diploma. 2015 results were as follows:

 Year 9      Gold         Silver      Bronze      Not Graduate         Withhold
 Maori        29%           36%         25%            7%                 4%

In 2015 the target of having Maori achieve to the same level as the total population was not met as 65% of year
9 Maori achieved a gold or silver compared to 78% for the whole population. In year 10, 52% of Maori got gold
or silver compared to the 66% of the total population.

 Year 10       Gold        Silver      Bronze     Not Graduate         Withhold
 Maori         27%          27%         24%           11%                11%

The goal for 2016 is to have Maori results at the same level as the whole population.

Stand downs, suspensions and exclusions
In 2014 Maori were over represented in stand downs, suspensions and exclusions. In 2014 Maori made up 19%
of the school’s population but provided 43% of stand downs, 76% of suspensions and 100% of exclusions. The
school-wide 2015 goal was for stand downs and suspensions to decline by 50% (achieved) and for Maori to be
less than 30% of all stand downs and suspensions (not achieved). In 2015, while the number of Māori being
stood-down or suspended dropped from 39 in 2014 to 14, Maori remained over represented. In 2015 Maori
made up 20% of the school’s population but provided 44% of stand downs, 53% of suspensions and 67% of
exclusions.

The school-wide 2016 goal is for stand downs and suspensions to be reduced and for Maori to be less than 30%
of all stand downs and suspensions.

While the long term aspirational goal is to have Pasifika students achieve at levels comparable with their year-
level peers in NCEA the small number of Pasifika students in the senior school makes the validity of trends and
targets questionable. Against the school trend Pasifika achievement at level 1 and 2 improved in 2015.

                                                                                                      Page 17 of 43

At year 9 the target of having Pasifika achieve to the same level as the total population was not met as 60% of
year 9 Pasifika achieved a gold or silver compared to 78% for the whole population.

 Year 10       Gold        Silver    Bronze        Not Graduate        Withhold

At year 10 the target was met as 100% of year 10 Pasifika achieved a gold or silver compared to 68% for the
whole population.
The goal for 2016 is to have Pasifika results at the same level as the whole population.

Stand-downs and Suspensions
The goal for 2016 is to repeat the 2015 trend and have no Pasifika students stood-down, suspended or
excluded.

Priority learner group 3. Special Needs
The goal is to have all students meet individualised goals in I.E.P.’s.

Priority learner group 4. Students capable of NCEA endorsements and scholarship
The 2016 targets are to:
     Be higher than the average for boys in comparable decile rating schools in endorsements.
     Have 15% or more of students achieve excellence endorsements.
     Have 30% or more of students achieve merit endorsements.
     Consolidate the recent increases in scholarship passes.

Priority learner group 5. Students who with support and monitoring are more likely to achieve NCEA level 2
The goal is to have 70% of students identified “at risk” by their level 1 results achieve NCEA level 2.

                                                                                                       Page 18 of 43
Priority learner group 6. Students for whom learning or literacy problems can potentially cause
disengagement
At year 9 students perceived as having difficulty transitioning to high school because of learning or literacy
issues, will be identified. Seventy percent of the identified group will have average attendance and diploma
scores equivalent to the general school population.

Priority learner group 7. Students who present at school in a non-teachable state
Sixty percent of the Year 9 students perceived as having difficulty transitioning to high school because of
behaviour or health/anxiety issues will have average attendance and diploma scores equivalent to the general
school population.
