Our Learning Pathway Programmes are crafted to ignite curiosity and stimulate critical thinking, equipping young men for the challenges of tomorrow.
In Years 9 and 10 students, in collaboration with staff and whānau, select a course that reflects their interests, aspirations and next steps in learning. They can select up to four different learning packages from each curriculum area. This ensures our students experience a robust and balanced curriculum whilst having the ability to engage in learning that captures their imagination and curiosity.
Using this information, students are placed in ‘Common Classes’. Common classes bring together students with shared interests and abilities, enabling us to provide a targeted and bespoke learning programme for each student.

In Years 12 and 13, we understand the significance of preparing students for their future endeavours. That’s why we provide a robust learning environment that prioritises flexibility and choice, empowering students to shape their educational journey according to their passions, strengths, and ambitions.
