Course Choices for 2025

The aim of this site is to help students plan and select their courses of study for the next year and beyond.  It contains information about the courses available at Year 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.  It is an introductory guide only.  Each student needs a programme of study that meets her needs and consultation and advice about different subjects and courses available should be sought.  Some subjects have academic pathways whilst others are designed to meet the varying needs of individual students.  Not all subjects progress to NCEA Level 3 and University Entrance.

Members of staff, whom parents and students should discuss subjects and course with, include subject teachers, Head of Departments, Deans and the Careers Advisor.

If you cannot find the information you need on this website regarding courses please contact the Head of Department as below:
