Academia

Hato Pāora College strives for high academic standards and has a support structure that allows students of all levels to realise their potential. A cornerstone of the living environment is the requirement of all students to study. We do study to enable the students to internalise new learning, to prepare for their lessons the next day and for their exams at the end of each term.

The learning environment at Hato Pāora College aims to provide quality education for all students. Given our special character, it is compulsory for all students from Year 9 to Year 13, to study Māori and Religious Education. In addition, English and Mathematics are also core subjects for all students. In Years 9 and 10, students undertake a programme of study which covers all the essential learning areas. In Years 11-13, students have the opportunity to select other subjects that align to their interest and vocational pathway requirements. 

We want to keep every student engaged and achieving. We believe that effective leadership, strong whānau engagement, effective teaching and learning, coupled with our school’s culture-will improve the learning outcomes for our students. Expectations for every student’s success are high.
