English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education and Health form the core of the Year 9 programme as full or half-year courses. 

You then have to choose five of the following subjects from Arts and Technology:

Art, Drama, Music, Design & Graphics, Digital Technology, Food Technology, and Woodwork. 

These subjects are taught as one-term elective courses.

Te Reo Māori is offered as an optional  course that replaces Social Studies, Career Development and Introductory Māori .

English for Speakers of Other Languages is offered as a full-year optional course replacing some of their options.
