This course is designed as a supported learning course for those students who have not yet obtained Numeracy Co-requisite in Year 10.

This course does not lead directly to any Year 12 Mathematics and Statistics courses, however, students can go on to take Level 1 Mathematics, and having the Numeracy Co-Requisite enables them to go on to earn NCEA Qualifications at levels 1, 2, or 3. Plus having the Numeracy Co-Requisite will open up other courses to the student that require it as a pre-requisite for entry.

Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2025, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
