Tailored pathways for every passion
Our courses cover academic, creative and vocational subjects from English, Mathematics and Science to Arts, Technology, Outdoor Education and the Primary Industry Academy ensuring every learner finds their pathway and meets NCEA achievement standards.
Aligned to national frameworks and enriched by Gateway work placements and specialist programmes, students build real-world skills for university, apprenticeships or careers.
Empowering learning through personal devices
Technology is not only a part of life, but also a tool to assist our students to become life-long learners. We encourage our students to gain the skills to be flexible with a range of technology and take pride in seeing many of them now actively involved in the community assisting in events or assisting others in engaging with technology.
Many students enrol at Geraldine High School having been introduced to the BYOD process from their previous schools. For others, it will be a new aspect to their education and it can be a financially challenging aspect to families.
Your gateway to knowledge, collaboration and creativity
The School values the Library as a safe and inclusive environment for all our students.
The Library is open Monday to Friday and is staffed by a full-time librarian. Our Library is supported by trained student librarians before school and during both break-times. Students are encouraged to volunteer so that they can gain experience in customer service and all aspects of operating and utilising a library.
Personalised academic & social support for every learner
The Learning Support Department, known as Te Whare Ako, encourages students to reach their full potential academically and socially, and to gain independence and confidence to enable them to function in the community.
A new Learning Centre caters for the needs of the varying degrees of disabilities. This contains specialist equipment and materials to enhance learning programmes.
Student Assessment Information
This is very important information for students in Year 11, 12, 13 who are working towards qualifications on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF).
The NZQF includes NCEA qualifications but also covers other NZQA qualifications that GHS students may be working towards.
