Term 3 is a busy one for students, whether it’s selecting school subjects for next year, applying for tertiary courses or looking into employment opportunities.

Course Selection Evening

UPDATE: we will make a decision regarding this event when we know what Covid Alert Level we will be in.

This is taking place on Thursday 9th September from 5 - 7pm. We encourage all Year 10-12 students to bring their whanau along and find out more information about the different subject options available at school, as well as talk to a number of tertiary and industry providers who will be present.

There are some useful resources on our Careers Website which may help you choose your subjects for next year too: https://timarugirls.careerwise.school/subject-selection/

Tertiary Scholarships

There are still some scholarships open and I do encourage Year 13 students to apply for these if they fit the criteria. Keep an eye on the following spreadsheet as we are regularly updating it when new scholarships come in: Scholarships

Tertiary Hall of Residence Applications

These are now open and I would advise students to submit their applications by the end of August if possible. Information can be found online including lots of photos and video clips, which are very helpful if you haven’t been able to physically visit the Halls.
