Welcome to Te Huinga Wai | Senior Division 2025
Year 13 students will typically have a five subject loading with the sixth line being a 13STY or a Study Period. We are reasonably flexible about how students spend their time, however as independent learners it is strongly advised that it used used for regular revision and catch-up of material being learned and working on internal assessment as appropriate. Cumulatively, this time is a valuable resource for students if is is used consistently over the course of the year.
The reason we mark a roll at this time is that we are keen to make sure our students are out of bed and being productive for the day. It also means we can account for you in the event of an emergency.
If a student has a class Period 3 and is marked Present by the teacher, and then has Study Period 4, the Absence Officer will mark the student as Present for Period 4.
Part of being a successful independent learner is having the maturity and motivation to use this time to your advantage.
