TE MĀTĀHAENGA - TE WHIRINGA O NGĀ ARA WHAKAMAU

Selecting subjects and hubs for Years 11-13

Ko Te Mātāhaenga he kaupapa hei whakamarama i ngā kaupapa ako me ngā aromatawai Tohu Mātauranga mo te Kura Pakeke. Kei ia marau motuhake, kei ia whatumanawa, he whakamahukitanga i ngā āhuatanga ako, i ngā huarahi ako, i ngā rapunga ara, i ngā aromatawai hoki. Kei a koutou ngā tauira me tō koutou whānau te tikanga, ko tēhea ara e whai atu koe. Mā mātou ngā kaiako koe e arataki, e poipoi, e whakaako, kia eke koe ki te taumata o angitu. Ko te pūtake o tō tātou Marau ā-Kura, he pitomata tō ia tamaiti kia eke ki angitu, ā, me tautoko te kura i ōna whāinga ako. Heoi anō, he aronga motuhake tō Te Wharekura o Mauao ki ngā kāreti nui o te Moana. Kua waihanga ngā kaiako he hōtaka ako e tuitui ana i ngā marau e maha ki roto i ngā kaupapa whatumanawa. Mā te tauira e whiriwhiri i ngā kaupapa whatumanawa e ngākaunui ana ia, mā mātou e whakamahere tōna wātaka kia whakatutukihia aua whāinga.

Pānuitia te pukapuka, mātakitaki ki ngā kiriata poto, kātahi ka whakauru mai i ō whiringa mō te tau e whai ake nei. 

Te Mātāhaenga explains the teaching programme and NCEA assessments for the senior school. There is information for each specialist subject and passion learning hub, that explain how the learning is delivered, the related tertiary education and career pathways and assessments. It’s up to you as a student, with your whānau’s support, to select the path that you want to follow. The job for us as kaiako is to guide, nurture, and teach you so you can achieve success. The basis of our school’s curriculum is that every child has potential to achieve success and we support their learning goals. Furthermore, Te Wharekura o Mauao has a distinctly different approach to other Colleges in Tauranga. Our teachers have built a teaching programme that weaves together a number of curriculum areas into passion learning projects. Each student selects the passion learning area that they are most interested in, and we as staff plan their programme to achieve their goals. 

Read the handbook outling subject and hub choices, watch the short videos, and then fill in the selection form.
