Learning
Students are given the choice of two academic pathways, NCEA or the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP).
In Year 11 students engage in a learning programme that allows them to gain a full NCEA Level 1 qualification while also preparing them for NCEA Level 2 Certificate and the IB Diploma.
