Subject Choice Guidelines

Subject Guidelines 2024

Course selection will open for Years 10-12 at 3.30 pm on Tuesday 20 August.  Subject selections will close for Years 10-12 at 5.00pm on Sunday 8 September.

Selection into courses is NOT first in first served.  You are not guaranteed a place in a course just because you submit your selections before the due date.

Please make your subject selection carefully and in consultation with whaanau and your teachers as you will not be able to change your subject selections once they close, except in very exceptional circumstances.

If you have any issues with making your subject selections, please email Mrs Reid [email protected] before submitting your selections.
