English is the study, use and enjoyment of the English language and its literature, communicated orally, visually, and in writing, for a range of purposes and audiences and in a variety of text forms. Learning English encompasses learning the language, learning through the language, and learning about the language. Understanding, using and creating oral, written and visual texts of increasing complexity is at the heart of English teaching and learning. By engaging with text-based activities, students become increasingly skilled and sophisticated speakers and listeners, writers and readers, creators and viewers. English is integral for all further study and every type of employment.

At Year 10 most students are not ready to make a decision which could affect their potential career path. Most career pathways need at least 14 credits from Level 1 Science.
Science at Level 1 is needed for:
A better understanding of the world we live in e.g. surviving a pandemic, climate change. A shortage of skilled professionals in this area in some cases, e.g. Engineering, Science, Finance, Trades and ICT.
Students develop the "foundation" knowledge at school level for success later in life.
Helps students develop critical thinking, problem solving, and analytical skills.
Allows students to keep career future ideas open.
Science offers students a number of opportunities both within the scientific field and outside of science; such as in the field of business, engineering, information technology and healthcare and trades.

Social Sciences help to build an understanding of places, people and cultures and foster a concern for fairness in society. Learning in social sciences aims to help ākonga / students thrive in the diverse communities and environments of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand and the world. As they learn in social sciences, ākonga will make sense of the past, present and be informed about the future. They will also explore social, economic and environmental issues associated with human rights, inequity, migration and sustainability.
Social Studies: Head of Department: Ms Charlotte Bass
Ākonga / students learn about Social Studies in Year 9 and 10 where it is a core part of the curriculum. Social Studies is about exploring places, people and cultures in the past, present and in our possible futures. Ākonga will use social inquiry skills to explore social, economic and environmental issues in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Aotearoa New Zealand, and globally. This will enable them to contribute and participate as informed and respectful citizens in our community and wider society.

Technology is the intervention by design: the use of practical and intellectual resources to develop products and systems (technological outcomes) that expand human possibilities by addressing needs and realising opportunities.
Adaptation and innovation are the heart of the technological practice. Quality outcomes result from thinking and practices that are informed, critical and creative. Technology makes enterprising use of its own particular knowledge and skills, together with those of other disciplines. Graphics and other forms of visual representation offer important exploration for communication.
YEAR 10
The subjects offered will be product design technology (working with wood and metal), electronics technology (using electronics and constructing circuits), textiles technology (designing and making fashion related items), food technology (using food with a focus on nutrition), graphics (using basic design skills) and computing (programming and web development). Each of these courses is designed to extend the students’ technological competence and confidence and provide a useful foundation for the level 1 courses.

The Arts are powerful forms of expression that recognise value and contribute to the unique bi-cultural and multi-cultural character of Aotearoa/New Zealand, enriching the lives of all New Zealanders. In The Arts, students learn to work both independently and collaboratively to construct meanings, produce works and respond to and value the contribution of others through dance, drama, music and visual arts. They learn to use imagination to engage with unexpected outcomes and to explore multiple solutions. The Arts give us the opportunity to express those ideas that can often find no other voice.
