Our Curriculum

RJHS provides opportunities to prepare for and experience NCEA Achievement Standards across a variety of subjects and also the Literacy and Numeracy Co-requisite.

Learning Design

Learning is designed to empower students to be connected, collaborative and community minded. This is achieved through collaboration, whānaungatanga, personalised authentic learning experiences, creativity and innovation.

Learning Advisory

Each student will belong to an advisory group - one teacher will be their advisor or personal coach, for the duration of their time at RJHS. Advisors will work alongside students to set learning goals, monitor their progress, help students reflect on their learning and make wise choices. Teachers will establish strong partnerships with parents/caregivers of learners in their designated group.

Ahurea

Students spend 30 minutes each morning (excluding Wednesday) in their Hapū or Iwi engaged in activities that focus on building Hapū, Iwi and School culture through assembly and waiata, and also in a programme designed to build numeracy capacity.

Flight Times

Flight times are an opportunity for Year 9 and10 students to ensure they access a broad and balanced curriculum (have coverage of the eight learning areas) across the year, and also an opportunity for exploring new experiences, spending time on passions and getting support with their learning.

Learning Area Courses

Learning Modules are separated into individual Year Level cohorts.

  • Year 7 - 9 Learning Modules will integrate two Curriculum Learning Areas and be taught by two teachers.
  • Year 10 Learning Modules will have two courses structured this way. All courses will foster deep learning and engagement, with meaningful connections across learning areas.
