Newlands College Curriculum

The college curriculum is structured in such a way that every student should be able to follow courses that enable them to achieve academic success. In the senior school this means the provision not only of a traditional academic programme but also the provision of a range of courses which are skills and/or vocationally based. Furthermore, the curriculum structure is designed to allow students to pursue areas of strength, mixing traditional and non-traditional subjects into their individual programmes. Newlands College offers an extensive, balanced and challenging academic programme to all students. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive education so that students leaving Newlands College are able to be lifelong learners who are well prepared to take their place in New Zealand society.

Academic Programme 
There is a large choice of courses and options to cater for individual student needs from Years 9-13. Extension and enrichment programmes help students to excel. Newlands College has a very high level of academic success. Many international students have gained scholarships and most gain entrance into university courses of their choice. High standards of discipline and good conduct are required. High quality teaching, close individual care, attention and opportunities for personal development, help pupils to enjoy their time at our school. This enables students to grow in confidence and to achieve high standards in all aspects of their work.

Co-curricular Programme 
Drama, music and sport are all popular co-curricular activities. The arts faculty provide a number of groups. There are also opportunities to perform in dramatic productions. Choirs, orchestra and individual instrumental tuition are available for students.
