Yr 11 Course Selection

Before you select:

• Read through all the choices.

• Be aware, if necessary, of what subjects you may need for a particular pathway you are interested in. 

When ready:

• Go to your KAMAR Portal --> Course Selection --> Read and follow the instructions at the top of the page. 

You will:

• Select TWO modules (semester courses that combine two learning areas), one each for Semester 1 & 2 and two Alternates for each semester (4 alternates in total). 

• Select  THREE Explore courses (full year, single subject courses) and three Alternates. (Even if you are applying for a specialist subject/s).

• Select ONE Puna Wānanga.

Note: If you have NOT achieved your CAA Literacy and Numeracy you will be automatically enrolled in the EXNUM and EXLIT EXPLORE courses to enable you to meet this requirement.  For the time being, choose courses based on the assumption that you will have passed the CAAs by 2026.

For some Year 11 students who are already achieving at higher levels, there's an option to enrol in Level 2 SPECIALIST classes. There are clear criteria for eligibility and a separate form to apply if you feel your learner is eligible. Note: the procedure is to initially select EXPLORE courses during the selection process and then use the separate form to apply for the SPECIALIST courses.
