Please note: Language courses will be done by distance education (Correspondence or Farnet), will be quite challenging, will require an extensive homework commitment, and must be taken for a full year, ie two semesters in one of the option lines. You will sit in with a senior class for this, except when you are on a Zoom call with your teacher. If you wish to take a language for NCEA the year after next, you will need to take a year 10 course in as preparation. Your own device and headphones or a headset is required.

Not taking a subject in Year 10 will not exclude you from taking it in Year 11 (for NCEA L1); however, by taking a subject in year 10 it will make it easier to achieve in that subject the following year.
