Few schools offer the breadth of curriculum choice (both in and outside of the classroom) that we have at Howick College. We understand that each student has their own interests, strengths and ambition,s and our curriculum choices reflect this. To see what Howick College has to offer, the subject flow chart for 2013 is available to view here.

 
The classroom curriculum is divided into the key learning areas of:
  • The Arts (includes Performing Arts)
  • Health & Physical Education (includes Outdoor Education)
  • Languages (includes English and ESOL)
  • Technology
  • Business and Management          
  • Mathematics
  • Sciences
  • Social Sciences

 

Year 9 students:

  • study five core subjects for the whole year: English, Maths, Science, Social Studies and PE
  • study two compulsory stubjects for a term: Health and Enterprise Studies
  • study optional subjects for a term. They choose: two or three Arts, one or two Languages, two or three Technology                      
       

Year 10 students:

  • study five core subjects for the whole year: English, Maths, Science, Social Studies and PE
  • choose two full year or one full year and two half year option subjects.

These optional subjects must be carefully considered as they lay the foundation for success in Year 11. Consideration must be given to how the subjects chosen flow into further study at Senior levels.

 

Senior students:

Information on courses available for Senior students (Years 11, 12 and 13) are available in the Pathway Handbooks. If you are unsure about which subjects will lead to a suitable pathway for you, speak to your tutor or Dean.

 
Careers and Transition helps the students to bridge the gap between school and the world of work, while Learner Support provides support for those with special learning needs. Howick College has a fairly extensive Vocational Education programme.
 
Take a look in Library for the extensive services that our school library has to offer.
