INFORMATION ABOUT YEAR 10 COURSES IN 2021
All students will study a course of English, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education
and Social Studies.
All students study three other subjects of their choice.
All students complete some Health Education and Future Planning programmes
during the year.
GENERAL GUIDANCE ON COURSE SELECTION
Choose subjects you enjoy, and in which you are prepared to work hard.
Keep a balance of subjects.
If you have a particular career in mind check with Mrs Beagley, the careers advisor,
whether there are compulsory subjects and that you are choosing the most
appropriate course.
Plan your course selection through Years 11, 12 and 13 making sure you choose
pre-requisite subjects in Year 10. (Use the overall plan on page 8 of the booklet).
If you wish to study Japanese, Māori or Music at higher levels, you must study
them at Year 10.
All other subjects can be studied at higher levels without studying them in Year
10 – although it makes things easier if you do.
Read this booklet carefully, taking note of
