SWITCH - Year 10

SWITCH

Students select  SWITCH on the enrolment form if they are new to Whangārei Girls' High School or on School Point if they are a current student. 

SWITCH is an exciting, integrated learning programme grounded in STEAMM (science, technology, english, arts, mathematics, and Mātauranga Māori). Students explore big ideas through a connected NZ Curriculum, with rich tasks and explicit teaching informed by the science of learning.

The programme is child-centred and relationship-based and encourages hands-on, real-world learning. Students work in groups with experienced teachers, accessing science labs, health and PE facilities and specialist rooms as needed.

Learning is project-based, fostering critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and leadership. A close partnership with Enviroschools support environmental learning and meaningful community action.
