We offer customised programmes for Years 9 – 13, as well as tertiary
programmes. These include Geography, Drama, English, Tourism,
Photography, Food and Fabric Technology and of course, History – a
fabulous insight into New Zealand’s past especially the establishment of
Auckland as our early capital and the settlement of the whole area.
Primary students love delving into early colonial life in New Zealand
through hands-on and interactive role-play experiences. We offer a
unique EOTC programme involving the technological advancements and
inventions made by the early settlers which include construction and
engineering, agriculture, food tech, natural medicines, textiles and
fabrics. We show how archaeological discoveries of the Fencible Period
have helped us understand the lives that early settlers led.
