Junior Curriculum

Year 10: Course content and pathways information can be found on SchoolPoint, along with the facility to make subject selections. This can be accessed now:
https://shgcham.schoolpoint.co.nz/

Students will be provided with log-in details to make their Technology and The Arts choices in October of each year.

Year 9: Completion of option choices is not required as we have created the opportunity for all students to experience the curriculum for Languages, The Arts and Technology, by designing ‘taster’ courses.

Languages: after the ‘taster’, students will choose a language to learn and continue to study throughout Year 10.

The Arts and Technology: Initially students will experience all the strands (subjects) we offer, as a ‘taster’ before choosing specific courses.
