SWITCH Core Programme - Year 10

SWITCH

Students select  SWITCH core 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 for students who wish to be involved in an integrated approach to learning. This learning is driven by ‘big ideas’, and is project based.

English, Mathematics, Health, Physical Education, Science and Social Studies will be interconnected through these big ideas. This interwoven curriculum is based on developing learners, leaders and change-makers who use knowledge meaningfully in our local community

SWITCH involves a larger group of students, in a larger classroom with two teachers. The students predominantly stay in this one larger classroom but will access Science laboratories and specialist rooms as required. 

Learners see connections across the curriculum that happen in our everyday lives.
