With the rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence into society and schools, we have a clear sense of responsibility, to provide insights and resources that support our families navigating the new techscape.
To lead responsibly, Selwyn House School was the first school in New Zealand to participate in the Association of School Business Administrators (ASBA) AI course. Our Principal Julie Calder and Director of Operational Services Tamara Moriarty completed this 10 week programme, which guided our school through developing a robust AI framework, risk analysis, governance policy, and future roadmap.
To support our staff in this pivotal moment, we have delivered continuous professional learning through Teacher Only Days, Lunch and Learn sessions, and external expert facilitators. We have welcomed parents and caregivers to learn more about our approach to AI across year levels at our Selwyn After Six evenings. Throughout the year, these exclusive School community events have provided a perfect space to share insights and extend our learning.
We appreciate our families, who are future-focused and highly motivated to learn alongside their daughters. We also acknowledge the dedication of our kaiako. Their positivity and proactive approach during this period of rapid evolution is why they are so highly regarded within and beyond our community.
