FAQs
Who can study here?
The School of Secondary-Tertiary Studies is for students in the Counties-Manukau area. These students will be nominated by their secondary school Principal using the School Endorsement Form included within this brochure. Students will be selected from Year 10 or Year 11 of secondary school and will enter the programme in Year 11 or Year 12. Because it’s vitally important to look after these young students above and beyond their academic needs, there will be a high level of academic advice and pastoral support. This includes study and learning support, career and course advice, plus a health and counselling service.
