Home Study

“Home Study” is offered to students in Year 13 as an acknowledgement of the attainment of high standards in your basic participation in school. Embedded at the bottom of this post on our website is the list of the students who are eligible for Home Study for the next two weeks. You appear on this list if you:

  • Have zero unjustified absences for the last fortnight (up until the end of Friday 8 February)
  • Have a fortnightly grade for your engagement and attitude of three or better for the same period

Students on this list may leave the school site during any study periods, provided you sign out via the student desk.

Having a “home study” does not exempt you from any of your other commitments in the school, particularly your commitment to Whanau.

This list will be re-set every fortnight.

If you are a hostel student, your ‘home study’ eligibility will be accumulated for the duration of Term One and will be one of the factors governing decisions about exeat and home study in the terms to come.

Here are just some of the amazing up and coming events and opportunities;
