In the Classroom

Senior College

DSC8511

In the Senior College we regard students as unique young adults who are developing social responsibility and preparing for life after school. Our purpose-built Rentoul Senior College Centre reflects that philosophy. It includes a common room, café, lecture theatre, study areas, computer pod and personal storage lockers.

The core Senior College academic curriculum is comprehensive. It is complemented by a huge variety of interesting subject options. Our programmes of study support the NCEA qualification framework. Talented and dedicated teachers, tutors, peer support leaders and study advisers from outside St Andrew’s are available to help you achieve at the highest level possible in your course work and external NCEA examinations.

St Andrew’s College students consistently achieve well above the national average in NCEA at all levels, and in the attainment of NCEA Merit and Excellence endorsements. There are many initiatives to encourage and reward academic success, including Academic Colours and Academic 30s certificates for our top NCEA performers.

At the end of your time at St Andrew’s, having met your academic, co-curricular, spiritual and service commitments, you will be awarded the prestigious Senior College Diploma. This, along with a personal profile written by a staff member of your choice, will be an excellent addition to your CV.
