Students Entering Year 10

The online Course Selection process is currently closed.  Please email your choices directly to: Lead Timetable Coordinator Vicki Young

Students in Year 10 study a mixture of core subjects and option subjects.  

Core Subjects:

The core subjects that all students take are Science, Mathematics, English, and Physical Education & Health.  You do not have to select these as part of this online process.

Option subjects. Students choose both: 

● two half-year courses from Part A, the Social Science curriculum (plus a backup choice), AND

● six half-year courses from Part B, General Options from the wider curriculum areas (plus a backup choice)

Can't get enough of a particular subject?

You can make some options courses into full-year courses by choosing both the first half year (semester) and the second half year of the course.  For example, you can take Te Reo Māori for the whole year by selecting both Y10TERE1 in Semester 1 and Y10TERE2 in Semester 2.  It is important to note that all second-semester courses are a continuation of what is learned in the first semester, not a repetition of the same course.

Other examples:

Music Y10MUSP1 ⇒ Y10MUSP2 

Dance Y10DANC1 ⇒ Y10DANC2 

Drama Y10DRAM1 ⇒ Y10DRAM2 

Requesting Exemptions for entry into courses

Example scenarios:

>> If you choose only the continuation course (Semester 2 course), without the introductory Semester 1 course, you must request an exemption from the teacher in charge to do so. 

>> If you choose a language that you have not studied in Year 9, you must also request an exemption from the teacher in charge before choosing that language. 

Luckily, you do not have to run around doing this.  Requesting an exemption is part of this online system.  

Please note that a Requested Exemption is not classed as a 'Course Selection' or 'Backup Selection'. You must still select the required number of courses and backups according to your year level. When Requesting an Exemption, please note which subject you would like it to replace. If your Requested Exemption is approved, it will replace this subject in your Course Selections at our end of the system.
