School starts at 8.45am in your homeroom with roll call and the daily notices.
The notices are important as they tell you about special events, opportunities, and meetings for activities you can sign up for.
Each day, you will learn Integrated Studies, usually through an inquiry approach. This happens in your Homeroom with your Homeroom teacher, which means you get to know each other really well.
With your Homeroom teacher, you will study:
-
English
-
Mathematics
-
Social Studies
-
Health
Throughout the week, your Homeroom class will also go to specialist rooms for Semi-Specialisation (Semi-spec) subjects taught by specialised teachers, including:
-
Science
-
Physical Education (PE)
-
Te Reo Māori and Aotearoa NZ Histories
-
Technology (Hard Materials, Digital Technology, Food Technology, Textiles)
-
The Arts (Music, Visual Arts, Film, Drama, Philosophy)
You’ll also take part in our Enrichment Programmes, where you can choose from a range of sports, languages, and other areas that interest you or spark your passion. These sessions run on Monday and Friday afternoons.
There are two breaks each day—a shorter interval break and a longer lunch break. Many sports practices and group meetings happen during lunchtime.
At the end of the school day, students return to their homerooms before heading home.
School finishes at 3pm.
While most students go home at the end of the school day some stay after school for practice or travel to another venue for matches.
