HIGH PERFORMANCE LEARNING

(HPL)

The HPL Mentoring and Support Service offers a personalised approach to provide continued support for our most highly able students as they develop. The school accepts that gifted students have different learning needs and that, as a school and as teachers, we must respond to these needs. Areas where particular help is available include:

• Personal Development Plans (PDPs) with the HPL Coordinator who works closely with Deans

• Guidance and Careers Counsellors

• Acceleration / multi-levelling

• Subject choice assistance

• Workshops / field trips / lectures

• Clubs: Chess, Philosophy, Creative Writing, Robotics and Future Problem Solving

• Mentoring / Pastoral Care / Acting as an advocate for students

• Provision of emotional and social support if required

The HPL service offering is relaxed, supportive and inclusive.

Ncea At Rangi Ruru

At Rangi Ruru we are experts in NCEA. We believe this qualification reflects learning that prepares our students for their futures. The flexibility of NCEA allows Rangi Ruru teachers and students to construct programmes that suit the individual, something other programmes such as International Baccalaureate cannot cater for.

We are very proud of our students’ outstanding NCEA results. These are consistent across many years showing our students excelling in NCEA.
