Gateway
Whanganui Collegiate School has opportunities for Year 12 and 13 students to work with outside providers which contribute towards their NCEA record of learning and specific pathways. This involves students working with outside providers during school time for up to one day a week. Students will miss time in their other subjects and there is an expectation that students will catch up on the work that they have missed. This needs to be a consideration for students as they contemplate this possible pathway. Students must apply for permission to attend an outside provider course.
Gateway courses provide the opportunity for students to gain work experience in their selected field. Whanganui Collegiate School works in partnership with workplace partners.
Individual students plan study opportunities around their interests and often have the opportunity to start their theoretical studies in apprenticeships.
The options that Whanganui Collegiate School students have completed previously include:
- Building & Construction
- Electrician
- Hospitality
- Farming
- Automotive
