CURRICULUM

At Pakuranga College, we offer New Zealand’s National Certificates in Educational Achievement (NCEA) Levels 1-3. These are high school qualifications that are recognised around the world.

NCEA offers excellent flexibility and students are able to study at multiple levels to accommodate their abilities.

When you arrive, we will help you to choose from a wide range of subjects to create a learning program that suits your interests and goals. The availability of some subjects depends on the time of year and the number of students in each class. However, you will see that we have a wide range of options. We also offer a comprehensive ESOL program at all levels.

Our popular Outdoor Education programme includes sailing, kayaking, orienteering, mountain biking and scuba diving.

Pakuranga College is a leader in the use of digital technology and students should bring their own digital device, such as a laptop or ipad for use in class.
