CRIMSON EDUCATION

Rangi Ruru has an exclusive partnership with international university admissions consultancy Crimson Education which enables us to deliver national and global opportunities at an unprecedented level.

Our dedicated Careers and Pathways Strategist is a full-time member of the Rangi Ruru staff. She meets individually with students to establish their direction and goals. This is followed up with significant tailored assistance in order to secure the best possible pathways outcome for the individual.

In Crimson’s time with Rangi Ruru we have had 100% acceptance in international universities for students with that goal. Over 90% of Rangi Ruru students stay domestically for university and, with Crimson’s assistance, numerous prestigious university scholarships have been offered to our students.

The Crimson Scholars

Crimson Education sponsor the annual Dux Award and the Crimson Scholar Award at Rangi Ruru. Each year the top academic student in each of Years 9 to 12 is named the Crimson Scholar at Prize Giving, earning $1000 of Crimson Education services and mentoring.

Stellar Music

Stellar Music Scholarships are available for students in Year 9. Scholars receive discounted tuition fees, a generous grant towards instrumental/vocal lessons, and are given free access to mental performance coaching.

Music scholars, along with other high achieving musicians, are well supported and given many opportunities through our music extension programme, the Stellar Enrichment Programme (StEP).

They are empowered to challenge themselves and find their own voice through music. Mentoring is available from leading creative and forwardthinking professional musicians who inspire students to extend their musical horizons both at Rangi and in the wider community. Students are also actively encouraged to become involved in the wider academic, sporting, cultural and service programmes available at Rangi Ruru.

S.O.A.R

Supporting Outstanding Athletes at Rangi (S.O.A.R) is a unique sports programme which provides support and guidance for student athletes who demonstrate talent, potential and determination.

At the heart of S.O.A.R is the philosophy that better people make better athletes. The focus is on empowering and challenging student athletes to become the most outstanding version of themselves in their journey through sport and, ultimately, life. Underpinning the programme is a focus on building a platform of behavioural traits which positively contribute to sporting performance but also to life outside of sport.

S.O.A.R athletes receive specialist support and guidance tailored to their own needs, as well as access to guest speakers. This includes:

• Mental performance

• Nutrition

• Targeted strength and conditioning, and body balance assessment

• Performance analysis—utilising HUDL and expert coaches

• One-on-one check-in meetings with the Director of Sport

Participation in this programme is based on application. Consideration will be given to students in Year 9 who are on General Excellence scholarships (tagged to sport). Numbers will be restricted and limited to a maximum of 20 students in any one year.
