- Students should know what they want to do when they leave school, before applying.
While choosing subjects for the year, students may have identified an area of interest that is not available to them in the traditional timetable, and therefore have opted into STAR.
You will be timetabled for four hours per week in which you may be expected to attend class in Te Whare Awhina and work through your workbook in the area of interest you have chosen.
You will need to fill out an application form to do STAR, and placement of students in STAR is not guaranteed. Throughout the year, failure to meet the requirements set out may lead to students being removed from STAR and placed back in mainstream classes.
If you are interested in STAR please see Mr Buchanan or Mrs Holland
