Year 9 and 10 optional courses

Alongside core classes, choose courses based on your interests, abilities and work habits. Identify courses that:

•  you can succeed in (with a reasonable amount of effort);

•  will enable you to go on to future education and/or training;

•  you will find interesting or is a necessary step towards your future vocation.

To find information on what you will learn, please click on the links below. 

Note: Year 9 students need to choose at least one of the following courses - Dance, Drama, Japanese, Music, Te Ao Haka, Te Reo Māori or Visual Arts.

If there is a course/option that we do not offer at Ōtaki College, online learning courses are possible (through Te Kura and Video Conferencing). See Mrs Gillian Gordon for enrollment information.

Best wishes for this important set of decisions
