2027 Course Selection

Course selection for 2027 is now open. Before making your subject choices, please consult with your Learning Advisor to ensure they align with your academic goals.

Enrolling Year 8 Students: Incoming Year 8 students will complete their Year 9 course selections during enrollment interviews using the template below. For detailed course descriptions, please refer to the prospectus or the 2027 Course Selection Booklet. Please contact the office if you have not yet had an enrolment interview.

Students enrolling for Year 10 to Year 13: Students enrolling for Years 10 to 13 will need to contact the school office to arrange an appointment with the appropriate Dean for course selection. In preparation for this meeting, students are encouraged to review the Course Selection Booklet.

Current Students: Current students will complete the course selection process during Learning Advisory classes starting in Week 6 of Term 3. Learning Advisory teachers will guide students through the process, and students will present their proposed 2027 learning portfolio at their IDP meetings in Week 9. This collaborative approach ensures that teachers, parents/caregivers, and students work together to choose the best courses for next year.  

Year 10 Students: As you prepare for NCEA Level 1, it's important to understand how the qualification works. Level 1 provides a foundation for further study and leads into Level 2 and 3 NCEA subject choices. Please check with your Learning Advisory teacher on what requirements you will need to be successful next year.

Year 11–12 Students: If you're aiming for University Entrance, be aware of the requirements:

  • Achieve NCEA Level 3.

  • Obtain 14 credits at Level 3 in each of three university approved subjects.

  • Gain 10 literacy credits at Level 2 or above (5 in reading and 5 in writing).

  • Earn 10 numeracy credits at Level 1 or above. 

Selecting a diverse range of subjects can keep your options open and help meet these requirements. For more guidance, refer to resources on choosing NCEA subjects. Our Careers Advisor (Chell Lusk) is also available to help you if you need help.

Remember, thoughtful subject selection is key to achieving your educational and career goals.

IDP meetings will be held at the end of Term 3 (for current students) to confirm the course selections with your parents/whanau.
