This year we have introduced a new programme for our Year 7/8 students. It is named the 10 x 20 programme to show the number of learning areas and the number or hours spent in each area over a year.
The learning areas covered are French/German, PE and Health, Science, The Arts, Maori, ICT, Fabric and Fibre, Foods, Design Technology and Hard Materials Technology. The students are divided into groups of 12 – 15 and rotate through all the areas over the year. Each Tuesday they have 2 classes in 2 different areas e.g. French/German and PE & Health.
The small numbers in each group means that both the teachers and the students are able to focus more on learning. It also means that teachers are able to plan programmes that allow more “hands on” activities and out of school visits than in a regular classroom.
