Students in Year 7 and 8 become accustomed to being taught by different teachers for some subjects. The technology programme covers the areas:-
· Foods
· Hard Materials
· Soft Materials
· Information and Communication
The students are taught these subject areas and some others by specialist teachers in specialist classrooms. Introductory modules are provided by specialist staff in Te Reo Maori at Years 7 and 8 and French at Year 8.
Because the philosophies of the College are shared across all levels and many activities in the life of the College involve students across all levels, the movement from Year 7 and 8 into Year 9 is seen as a natural progression rather than as a new start.
