At Year 9, the students study for two periods per week all year
round the following subjects in addition to their core subjects.

Distance Learning
Where there are insufficient students to run a subject here,
students can be enrolled to study that subject through either
Cantatech or the Correspondence School. Cantatech is a group of
schools in the South Island who have video-conferencing
facilities that enable a subject to be taught to a range of
schools from one site and currently 14 subjects are offered in
this way throughout schools in the group. For subjects not
offered by Cantatech, the Correspondence School can be used as a
provider.
In 2006 these subjects were taught by Cantatech
- Art History 1,2
- Biology 2,3
- Chemistry 2
