Advice for Students Entering Year 10

Year 10 Course Requirements

In Year 10 students continue to study English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Physical Education/Health through their chosen core programme of Integrated Subjects Programme (aka Innovation), Sport in Education or Single Subject Programme (aka mainstream).

In addition, they are required to have two full year OR one full year and two half year option subjects OR four half year options.

These option subject choices must be thought about carefully because they lay the foundation for subject pathways at Year 11.  

Consideration should be given as to how a Year 10 subject continues forward to a NCEA pathway in the senior school.

Students and parents should read the subject descriptions carefully for possible Year 10 option subjects and how they lead into the senior school, by reviewing the Howick College Pathway Map:  https://howick.schoolpoint.co.nz/site/howick-college-pathway-map
