Course Description

Teacher in Charge:

By selecting Year 9 Rotation you are in fact signing up for a bit of a tasting platter!  This is a great option if you want to study a wide variety of options to see what you enjoy.

You will be randomly assigned FOUR of the following five option subjects (one per term):  

* Food and Nutrition - Students learn about what their growing bodies are made from and the nutrients they require in their diet for a healthy teenage body.  Students learn to cook a variety of simple and nutritious meals. 

* Literacy - Building and honing the key skills of reading and writing.

* Numeracy - Building and honing the key skills of number knowledge and application.

* Te Reo Māori/Tikanga Māori - Partake in an introduction to the unique language, knowledge, and traditions of Aotearoa.

* Digital Technologies - This course explores fundamental coding abilities through the medium of Minecraft Education Edition .

(To be clear, the subjects will be randomly assigned and cannot be selected by you - it's a lucky dip!)

Please note that courses will go ahead only if student numbers, staffing, and timetabling allow it.  Where a subject is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient numbers or resources to create an extra class, a ballot system may be applied.  
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 2024, 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.
