This allows students, parents or caregivers time to ask any questions regarding the college and discuss options relating to the student’s year level.
Each student is interviewed with interviews taking 20 minutes for Year 9 and 30 minutes for Years 10 – Years 13. Interviews are conducted by our Senior Leadership Team, Whanau Leaders or Heads of Learning.
During the interview, a starting date will be confirmed. Information about uniform fitting times and stationery requirements will also be available. An email will also be sent to confirm.
