NEW PIC TO BE SUPPLIED
Awatapu College is an innovative school educating students for the 21st century. That is why we have spent the past three years training in the use of ICT in teaching and learning. The Board has invested considerably in ICT to ensure our students have access to up to date facilities and highly skilled teachers. Our school is a vibrant and diverse community with a strong focus on meeting the individual needs of our student body. This is what a recent Dux, Lisa Onland, had to say about Awatapu: “There was always an option, always someone there to help you every step of the way, independence and space to grow and achieve great things. They always believe in you to do your best.” Our Learning Support and “Students With Special Abilities” (Extension) programmes ensure that all students’ learning needs are identified and addressed. A broad curriculum offers extensive
subject choices for all students. Academically advanced senior students are studying subjects through Massey and Auckland Universities while completing their NCEA qualifications. Awatapu College is a lead school for the Youth Apprenticeships Project. A wide range of co-curricula activities enables students to follow their personal strengths in sport and culture. Awatapu College provides its students with a pathway to success. We expect excellence in all that we do. We set high standards for personal behaviour and students are accountable for the choices they make. We provide structure and discipline alongside a supportive and nurturing pastoral care system. At Awatapu College we are proud of what we can offer and of what our students achieve. I invite you to join us.
