What We Offer

Exciting and Varied

At William Colenso College, we offer a wide and exciting variety of subjects and extra-curricular activities that should stimulate and reward any student that chooses to join us.

Before making any subject choices it is important as a student to think about what you enjoy doing at school and what your strengths are. You can then try to match those factors to a particular career pathway. There are plenty of people at school who can assist with this process – subject teachers or your Dean.

Another avenue to investigate is the Career Services website.

What Subjects do I need?

Remember that after school you will want to either:

• Study further – for instance, Polytechnic, University (Tertiary Institutes)
• Enter into an apprenticeship or
• Get into a chosen career field

Whatever your chosen option, it may require you to have studied particular subjects at school. It is important that you have a general idea of what sort of career pathway you may wish to pursue and investigate what subjects will give you the best opportunities to do so. So…

• Keep your selection broad – your ideas may change over time
• Check the recommended and compulsory subjects that you may need for further study at school or at Tertiary Level
• Consult our Subject Section Booklet

We host a “Subject Selection” evening in Term 3 – check the school calendar for dates.
