Students are strongly advised to consider subject choices and to plan future course pathways carefully. Students should consult learning coaches, subject teachers, their Dean and the careers adviser before making their final decisions. Students are advised to follow a broad based general course of study for as long as possible. Online options forms are below.

Advice on all courses is available from the respective Curriculum Leaders (CL). This Pathways and Programme Guide gives details of those courses.

Our belief is that our students should have every opportunity to study in virtually every learning area available.

We are able to offer a number of opportunities to students to complete courses that we are not able to offer in our school. These may be courses for mainstream school subjects that are not available for the student here, special interest courses, specialist or advanced courses and vocational courses.

We will consider supporting students in courses offered by outside providers if a learning need is identified and if the course offers further qualifications for our students. Often, these courses enable our students to further some of their vocational and learning pathways.

Distance Learning

The two main distance learning providers are the Te Kura and the Volcanics Online Learning Community. Please consult their websites for a list of possible courses.

Te Kura (formally The Correspondence School) http://www.tekura.school.nz/subjects-and-courses/

Students should consult their Dean and/or Mr Smith (DP - Senior Years) in Term 4 if they are interested in completing a Distance Learning course. Enrolments will need to be completed early in the year to ensure a place.

Prerequisites: Students need to have demonstrated independent learning and self monitoring skills. Some courses may have specific entry requirements and costs.

Students wishing to take a distance learning language course must have relevant experience in that language to sign up for the course of study.
