Careers, Information Evenings & Subject Selection 2023

---

We are entering the season where Year 10-13 students need to consider their current subject options, what they want to study in 2023, what they might want to do as a career, but ultimately, who do they want to be as a person.

When considering the option subjects that they choose at the College we often encourage the students to consider subjects that;

• challenge them academically 

• challenge their current skill set,

• develop their creativity, and 

• pique their interest.

We sit down with every student in years 10-13 and ask them about potential career options. We always coach them through their subject choices, ensuring that they have the widest possibilities to get into the courses that they want to study in subsequent years.

Some dates that you need to be aware of:

• 18 August: Year 10 Sampler Day (periods 3-6)

The NCEA Information night is for 'new to NCEA' parents.  To help them understand what the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) is and how it works.  The Year 11 extension 'Deep Learning' programme will also be explained at this event.
