SUBJECT CHOICES FOR 2025
Now is the time for you to start thinking about the subjects you would like to study at Pakuranga College in 2025. This guide shows the pathway of subjects in each faculty. You can find a detailed description of each subject on SchoolPoint, using the QR Code below.
WHEN CHOOSING YOUR SUBJECTS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER:
• Subjects that you enjoy
• Subjects that you are good at
• Subjects that you need for your career plans
As well as reading the course descriptions, do some research. Speak to your parents/caregivers, Careers Advisors, teachers, older students, and people employed in the industry you would like to work in. This will help you to make well-informed decisions about your option choices.
You can also use the Useful Information area to learn about NCEA, subject pathways, and other careers information. Using the Career Research tab, you can search for the job or career pathway you are interested in, bookmark this, and find out the courses Pakuranga College offers.
These steps will help you to make well-informed decisions about your option choices. All students will have a one-to-one interview with a Careers Advisor to discuss and confirm their chosen subjects AFTER subject selection is complete. There will be an opportunity to make subject changes during this interview.
REMINDER :
Level 3 students must choose a minimum of four UE (University Entrance) subjects if they intend to study at university.
