Te Waharoa year 10 will be offered in Term 4 only and provides a Mātauranga Māori focus for learners, representing the beginning of the journey from the ‘gateway’ towards the whare tipuna of the marae. This course is ideal for students with a passion for Māori knowledge and culture.  Students choose their topic area and can complete NCEA 1 standards.  For the first four weeks of Term 4, year 10 students will be in class with the NCEA level students before they leave for externals.
