2027 COURSE SELECTION WEBSITE

2027 YEAR 13 STUDY APPLICATIONS

Study is only available to Year 13 students on a UE pathway

Students acceptability is assessed using the following criteria:

• The student still has the ability to gain NCEA in 3 subjects with 14 credits in each of the three subjects when removing a subject for a study line

• The student still has the ability to gain the 60 credits at level 3 needed for UE if a subject is removed for a study line

• The student already has UE R and UE W or close to it, with access to UER and UEW in internal assessments (not reliant on gaining this via external exams)

• Students Pastoral record is also checked for the following:

• Does the student have any entries that identify them as a ‘wanderer’

• Does the student have any entries that show they have regularly left school at breaktimes

• Does the student have multiple entries that show they do not submit or that they are regularly not on track to submit work (this indicates less ability to be self managing).

If you are approved for study, you will be given an agreement to sign prior to the commencement of study at the beginning of 2027. The agreement outlines the expectations of you during the study block.

If you meet the above criteria - you will be granted provisional acceptance for a study line next year, this will be confirmed in your course confirmation at the beginning of the year.

Hamilton City Council - Youth Council Applications

Hamilton City Council is excited to be launching the Hamilton City Youth Council.

The Youth Council will bring together up to 12 rangatahi aged 16 – 24 who live, work, or study in Kirikiriroa.  

This is a great chance for students to build real-world experience in leadership and governance while developing skills that will support their future careers and education. No previous experience is needed, just a genuine interest in being a voice for their community and working collaboratively. 

Applications will be open from 8am Monday 2 February – 27 February 2026. You can find more information and the link to the application form, here: https://hamilton.govt.nz/community-support-and-funding/welcoming-communities/youthcouncil
