Curriculum Overview
Hawera High School offers a comprehensive range of
subjects to meet the needs and aspirations of its pupils and community.
Subject choices allow for academic challenge, vocational opportunity,
cultural strength, social and physical development.
A broad base of subjects at Year 9, the majority of
which are compulsory, ensures students have the knowledge and experience
to make sound subject choices as they progress through the levels.
Hawera High School aims for all students to reach
their greatest possible potential. Skills recovery in literacy and
numeracy is offered at Year 9 to those students who need assistance
at this level. A number of extension programmes are in place for
more able students.
At Year 9, except for a choice of language study,
the whole course is compulsory. The compulsory element reduces as
students move through the year levels when at year 13, as they work
towards their future goals, there are no compulsory subjects.
Courses in Year 11, 12, and 13 are multi-level. A
student at Year 12 or 13 may study any of the levels below provided
they meet the subject entry requirements.
A comprehensive programme of subject advice and guidance
is in place to help students make sensible and realistic subject
choices. Parents are encouraged to be involved and must approve
proposed courses.
