Our curriculum has been developed with the intention of providing our girls with the broadest range of academic, cultural and sporting activities, while providing strong pastoral support through the significant changes of early adolescence.
Students experience a balanced curriculum that covers the eight areas of the New Zealand curriculum, while allowing for increasing student choice as they move through Middle School. All students study English, social sciences, mathematics, science, technologies, languages, performing and visual arts, physical education, health, and religious education. Developing an understanding of the world around us, closely linked to the Te Ao Māori concept of Tūrangawaewae (a place to stand), is embedded in many areas of our curriculum.
Information and communication technology also plays an important role in learning, with a range of technology used in and outside of the classroom to gather, analyse, and present information clearly, logically, concisely, and accurately.
By Year 10, students will have experienced a range of compulsory offerings, enabling them to make informed subject choices based on their strengths and passions. They will emerge from Middle School well-informed, with an appreciation for literature and the arts, a good understanding of history, geography, mathematics, and the sciences, and the skills to access and utilise information, ready to embrace life in our Senior School.
