COMPULSORY FULL YEAR SUBJECTS
English
The Year 9 English programme is designed to foster a love of reading and build confidence in written,
oral and visual skills. The course includes a variety of literature, and the study of writing, close
reading, speaking and visual language. Students are assessed on their ability to understand ideas in
texts, and to express ideas with accuracy in writing, speaking and visual presentations.
Languages
We offer six different community and international languages for study in Year 9 (Chinese, French,
Japanese, Latin, Maori and Spanish). Each language course runs the full year and teaches students
how to communicate with target language speakers. Each course also emphasises the importance of
intercultural understanding in our increasingly globalised world.
Students are assessed on their ability to listen, speak, read and write in the chosen languages.
In addition to issued textbooks, and workbooks purchased from the EGGS stationery shop, an annual
subscription to the online app, Education Perfect, is strongly recommended. This is used for vocabulary
learning, homework, competitions and projects and costs $30. Some languages also use ImmerseMe,
a virtual reality programme useful for developing speaking skills in particular ($20).
Mathematics
In year 9 Mathematics, students will learn to solve problems in a range of mathematical contexts,
including Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement and Statistics. We aim for students to achieve
both procedural fluency and relational understanding of mathematical concepts, to become flexible
mathematical thinkers and problem solvers.
Most students will be in mixed-ability classes, but we also have some small supportive classes for
students who find mathematics challenging and some larger classes for students who would benefit
from additional extension opportunities.
Students are assessed using topic tests and assignments, and an end-of-year common assessment
task on all topics learned during the year.
Students will require a Casio Graphics calculator.
Health and Physical Education
The Health and Physical Education programme at Year 9 focuses on the concept of Wellbeing –
physical, mental and emotional, social and spiritual.
Through learning in this curriculum, students will gain the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to
enjoy a healthy lifestyle. They will develop motivation to make informed decisions and to act in ways
that contribute to their personal well-being, the well-being of other people and that of society as a
whole. They will experience a wide range of physical activities, with the aim of identifying areas of
interest and enjoyment that they may choose to participate in, later on in life.
Students will be encouraged to take responsibility for their own health and will learn a wide range of
movement skills.
At Year 9 students have 2 periods of PE a week for the year and 4 periods of Health a week for a 10
week block.

Social Studies
He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata! –It’s people, it’s people, it’s people!
This sums up the essence of Social Studies. It is the study of how societies operate and how people
participate as individuals and groups in their communities. A society and people’s involvement in it is
shaped by its past, the place of its people in it, and its resources.
Students will study the influences which shape people and their communities in the following topics:
• Time Moves On - a study of the impact of people’s actions and ideas over time.
• When Cultures Meet - a study of cultural interaction.
• People Power - a study of the New Zealand systems of government; a comparison with another
system of government and the impacts of these systems on people.
• Aotearoa - Our Place - a study of the impact of change on the people and the landscape of New
Zealand from Polynesian migration to European migration.
In addition to the topics the class teacher will determine a time during the year when the students will
experience the Community of Thinking (CoT) programme. The students will be given a fertile question
connected with their current topic and they will then become responsible for the direction their
research takes them in with the aim of finding a unique answer to the fertile question.
Woven into Social Studies and the various topics is the key skill of Social Inquiry; the Key
Competencies; the Vision, Values and Principles as detailed in the New Zealand Curriculum. These
skills are crucial in the empowering of young people to participate responsibly in our local, national
and international communities.

EDUCATION
A subject printed in italics is compulsory
A subject printed in heavy type has a pre-requisite, and at certain levels will require a minimum standard for
achievement in the previous year.
There is a reception class for students with little familiarity with English.
There may be changes to this list for 2020. Availability of subjects will depend on sufficient student numbers
and staffing.
19 Year 9 Options 2020Frequently Asked Questions
If my friend and I choose the same options, would we be in the same class?
It is unlikely, as there are 400 students in Year 9 with different option choices and learning needs
to accommodate in the timetable. Also, the half year options are spread over the year. The order
in which you do these is random, so students with the same option choices will not always do
them at the same time. However, there will be opportunities to meet your friends at break times
and you will make new friends.
How will I know what the subjects mean?
This booklet provides information about all the subjects in Year 9. Before you complete the online
course selection, it is really important that you and your parents read this book and discuss your
option choices.
Can I take up a new language after Year 9?
Not unless you have prior knowledge of the language. That is why it is important to choose
carefully and also consider taking two languages if there are two you like.
Do I need to have taken the language in Year 8 to be able to choose it for Year 9?
No, the language courses are designed to accommodate a diverse range of students.
For half year options, how will I know when I will be taking them?
You will know which one you will do first when you see your timetable at the beginning of the
year.
Why do I have to show my first choice and second choice?
Usually students will get their first choice. Sometimes there are timetable clashes or limited
availability. When a placement is made in a half year literacy programme, only one half year
course can be allocated.
When will I get a clear outline of the subjects I will take?
Your compulsory subjects are explained in the booklet. Your option choices will be confirmed with
you at the pre-enrolment meeting. The Dean will contact you if any changes are required. At the
beginning of the year, every student is issued with a weekly timetable which shows her subjects
and classrooms. This will be explained to you by your Tutor Teacher as part of your orientation.
Do I have to do a subject in Year 9 if I want to do it in Year 10?
This is a general rule for languages unless you have prior knowledge. Usually students will be
able to choose from the full range of Year 10 options.
Will I be able to do any combination of Languages if I select a second Language?
While we will endeavor to provide students with the Languages of their choice, in some instances
particular combinations of subjects are not available due to staffing and subject numbers. In this
instance, students will be notified and asked to make another choice.
20 Year 9 Options 2020SUBJECT CHOICE FOR YEAR 9 2020
Please read the Course Selection book carefully before making your choice of
subjects online.
NOTE: Every Year 9 student will study Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, English,
