PROGRAMME OF STUDY
Every effort is made to ensure students are able to study the subjects they want to. The school timetable is
structured around student subject selection. However, if subjects do not attract sufficient student numbers they
may not be able to run or may have to be offered with reduced teacher contact hours. Study through Te Kura
(The Correspondence School) may also be an option.
Subject selection is based around three factors:
• Skills & Ability
• Interest
• Career Pathways
Students may not know exactly what they want to do when they finish secondary school but some serious thought
should have been given to possible career options.
When selecting subjects students need to:
1. Be clear about what subjects they enjoy the most;
2. Be clear about their ability in each subject. Check with their teachers if necessary;
3. Use CareersNZ website http://www.careers.govt.nz by completing Careers Quest questionaire and
accessing the other careers tools;
4. Identify their Vocational Pathway(s) using http://www.youthguarantee.net.nz/vocational-pathways/
5. Identify career possibilities within their vocational pathway(s);
6. Keep options open in Years 9, 10 and 11;
7. Consult the Careers Advisor, Mr Zimmerman about any of the above if necessary.
CAREERS INFORMATION
Students must have a career plan and check that they have selected the right subjects for their career choice(s).
A number of specific career pathways require particular subjects to be studied at school.
Remember the following:
• All careers require Mathematics to some level and to an advanced level in a number of fields
such as the Sciences.
• English is also required to some level in all careers and to an advanced level in information based careers
such as Law.
• Science and Engineering careers usually require Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics
as well as Biology in some cases.
It is important that all students understand the subject level required for entry into their intended career.
When planning for a career you can find careers information from the following information sources:
• The Careers Counsellor, and other Careers Department Staff;
• CareersNZ Website http://www.careers.govt.nz for all careers information;
• Career Quest to assist in career selection;
• Appropriate tertiary training provider booklets;
• Youth Guarantee Website http://www.youthguarantee.net.nz/vocational-pathways/
for Vocational Pathways information;
• Careers Information Leaflets;
• Jobs Galore Manual;
All Career matters can be discussed with Careers Department staff at the NPGHS Careers Centre in B Block.
