Hybrid Learning enables students to learn beyond the four wall of the classroom and school timetable.

Hagley College’s mission is, ‘lifelong learning that is accessible to all.’ One of the key aspects of lifelong learning is to provide opportunities for students to make connections that learning does not only occur within the classroom or school timetable. Providing opportunities for Future Focused learning is one of the key Kāhui Ako Achievement Challenges and in 2021 two Year 13 classes (Impact Project and History) will be taught in a ‘hybrid’ format. In hybrid learning classes, students will have opportunities to learn in the community from local experts, use community resources which do not exist at school, and learn from locations other than at school. The two teachers of the courses have been developing their knowledge of hybrid learning via professional learning and development and have recently visited schools which currently teach courses in a hybrid learning format. Teachers of the course will also receive mentoring via local education leadership group Grow Waitaha.
