Our courses include those developed specifically for NCEA qualifications. We are desirous that every student is able to achieve to their potential, be it academic, sporting, cultural or otherwise, and the philosophy of our school is to provide a balanced all-round education to achieve this. The difficulty of trying to provide a wide range of course choices is that there are sometimes significant organisational and timetabling issues which may affect some student programmes. However, we have found over the years that by individual counselling, along with family involvement, most students are able to work out purposeful programmes of study.
It is possible to take courses at different levels in one year so that students are experiencing success at the appropriate level in each subject or course.
It is very important that students plan ahead not just into next year but further into the future. Students with a goal for tertiary or university studies need to make sure they are taking courses that will enable them to meet entry requirements. Our Course Guide allows students to track forward and identify the route to their intended or prospective course of study to ensure they have the correct course structure to meet their qualification objectives.
The purpose of this guide is to advertise the full range of courses we would like to offer, so that students, parents and caregivers can discuss them fully, and subsequently make informed and realistic decisions.
To students we say, do not miss out on the vast opportunities our school provides. It is in your interest not to leave school until you have gained the highest educational qualifications possible and you have a confirmed future pathway ahead of you. We are here to work alongside you to plan your programme of study and to guide you in the remarkable pathways that lie ahead.
