We inspire: Wānanga Ako | Specialist Learning
At Rototuna Senior High School we are thought-leaders. We are creative thinkers, critical thinkers and caring thinkers.
Our rangatahi (young people) learn to think critically and creatively as they apply specialist knowledge to new and novel situations. Students choose a combination of specialist subjects and integrated modules. The range of programmes provides them with a depth and breadth of learning experiences that develops understanding of how knowledge is constructed within specialist areas.
As a student at RSHS their thinking will be stretched by their teachers through a variety of approaches that will keep learning engaging. Your young person will have access to the latest technology that will connect their learning seamlessly in and outside of school.
“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
― Albert Einstein
NCEA: Quality not quantity
We provide challenging programmes that gain NCEA qualifications. At RSHS we focus on attaining Level 2 and 3 certificates through quality credits.
We have found this approach can reduce workload and stress for our students.
We believe all assessment experiences should be:
- As naturally occurring as possible;
- A balance of personalisation, rigour and high expectations;
- Designed to fit best practice for each learning area;
- Ensure coverage, progression and pathways to personal and academic success.
