Study Options

Study options at Hagley don't come lightly. We have a curriculum to be be admired - innovative, creative and unique. We pride ourselves on the ability to be flexible with our students.

Not your regular high school…

We offer a wide range of learning options for students of many ages, stages and cultures. We focus on each individual and their learning needs. Our goal is to help students to discover or nurture their passion, and to find out their identities along the way. Hagley courses and programmes are continually changing to meet the needs of learners more effectively. Whether you arrive here from a primary school at Year 9, switch from another high school, or you are coming back to study later in life, there is an abundance of options for you to consider.

We have various areas/programmes within the College, these include:

Junior College | Year 9 – Year 10

The Junior College has small classes and we take a personal approach to the students’ learning needs.  Classes are fun, focused and inspire our students to be the very best they can be. We fill up every year, so get in quick!


Year 11 College  |  Year 11

The Year 11 College is designed to transition students successfully into NCEA as well as inspiring them to continue into the Senior College.


Hagley Senior College  |  Year 12 – Year 13 and Adult

The Senior College is where our students’ options start to open up. The Senior College makes up majority of the school’s population with many student coming from other schools for our range of study options and flexibilty. Students work towards Level 2 and 3 NCEA, plus University Entrance and Scholarships, as well as tertiary pathways. Studying multiple levels (up and down) is fine too.


Specialist Courses  |  Year 12 Onwards

At Hagley we believe that students should be able to immerse themselves in their passion. We have created specialist courses to allow them to do that. There are many options, from Cuisine, Fashion, Dance, Music, Theatre…and so much more!


After 3  |  Age 16+

After 3 is essentially our evening programmes designed to pathway students to further learning and perfect for people with other commitments like work or family! There is everything from Languages, English, Math, Science, Cooking, Photography and more! Time isn’t a barrier with After 3. Why not combine day study with After 3?
