| Artists as Entrepreneurs | The Arts |
This is not an NCEA course, it is an alternate pathway for senior students who are motivated and want to become practicing artists. Your outcomes from this course will support you to align with your own personal ideas and process for making art. The Artists as Entrepreneurs course does not exclude you from doing an NCEA art course offered in another timetabled colour block. |

| Practical level 5 Maths | Mathematics & Statistics |
Maths with Matt - what could be better? This course will cover the Level 5 Maths curriculum with a more practical/ context-based approach. We will NOT be doing any NCEA internal assessments, but you should finish the year prepared for NCEA level 1 NEXT year. We will cover a smaller quantity of content, at a slower pace than Alisha and Duncan's level 5 classes. |

Over the years We've seen a number of year 10 students accelerate themselves into a full time NCEA program. Often because they were in need of a new challenge and didn't want to repeat a level 5 program. |
