Curriculum Handbook 2024 by ManaCollege

Helping your child to choose the right course can be pretty daunting. You don't want to close off their options, but you want also want them to follow their passions.

Consider the following questions as you talk with them about their possible courses, and remember you can always talk with your child's learning adviser or the career adviser here at school, or take a look at https://www.careers.govt.nz/and individual tertiary websites.

Questions to consider:
What is your child's possible career pathway?
What are they interested in? What are they good at?
What are the entrance requirements for the courses s/he may want to do when they leave school? How can we find this out?
Are there other courses that better support their pathway?
What might they need for the future?

by Course booklet

Want to try something different, but still want to stay at school? Trades Academy lets you enjoy both worlds. Your week will be made up of three days at school, and two days at Trades Academy studying one of the courses outlined below. All credits work towards you achieving NCEA Level 2, with the benefit of learning industry related skills and knowledge. During 2022 most students who did a two-day Trades Academy also had the option of a special three day course at school involving Literacy, Financial Capabilities, Customer Service and Business. This is currently being reviewed for 2023. You can study courses at the WelTec (Petone) or Whitireia (Porirua) campus’, including a new campus in Wellington. Transport will be arranged for students to get to Petone and Wellington. If you are interested in one of these courses, you must fill out an additional application form.
