We provide a comprehensive guidance service to meet the various personal, academic and career issues that may concern students and their families.

Orientation, tour, Director 24/7 on-call support for pastoral matters, Deans and Senior Managers for academics.

All students are assigned to a form class and their Form Teacher is the first point of reference. This teacher has special responsibility for the welfare and progress of the students in his/her class.

Deans are assigned to each year level. They allocate students to form lasses, confirm courses of study, counsel students and manage discipline processes.

Our Guidance Counsellors may be contacted directly by students, parents or caregivers on any matter – academic, career or personal. All Guidance Counsellors are bound by a code of confidentiality.

Students at any level may gain careers directions from the Careers Adviser.

There is a Registered Nurse available daily and a doctor available weekly.

The Peer Support programme is based on the principle that people absorb information, values and guidance from trusted others. Year 13 students are trained to act as group leaders to small groups of Year 9 students.

There is no formal entry exam but the student's English ability is assessed on arrival for placement level. An on-line interview may be requested. The minimum level of English language required is Level 4 of the NZ English curriculum.

Our Academic Enrichment Programme - Te Hiringa - is flourishing. Students are selected in Year 9 based on skills, attitude, maturity and the ability to demonstrate the best work habits. A healthy combination of competition and collaboration also leads to higher levels of achievement.

Our expectations are sky high – from dress standards to academic achievement to the quality of facilities and school grounds.

Our Sports programme makes use of the excellent facilities we enjoy on-campus, including an international quality artificial hockey turf, AstroTurf tennis courts, basketball courts, an indoor gym and swimming pool on-site.
There are opportunities available at varying levels in a wide range of sports. Students also have the opportunity to develop coaching pathways.

Within the school environment, we have:

- Purpose-designed learning facilities for all subject areas.

- Powerful, school wide WIFI capabilities

- Well-equipped laboratories for General Science, Physics, Chemistry and Biology

- Excellent library with online computer services and direct access to the resources of Waitakere Central Library

- The latest technologies to support 21st Century learning

- Swimming pool and full gymnasium

- Extensive grounds for outdoor sports, including an international quality Hockey turf, and all-weather netball and tennis courts

We believe that learning engagement, personal pride, and community awareness are significantly enhanced through the quality of our campus facilities.
