Springbank’s Senior School is unique. With smaller class sizes and an individualised learning focus, our senior students enjoy being part of a smaller social group. The supportive, cohesive, and positive environment that our senior students and teachers create together, is something that sets Springbank apart. Our seniors encourage, challenge, and support one another to inspire success across a range of facets whether it be academia, leadership, community, enterprise, sport, or the performing arts.
In Years 10 - 13, students choose an academic pathway that suits their strengths and abilities. There is a wide range of subjects to choose from. All teaching staff are extremely competent subject specialists and committed to each student achieving the best that they can.
The Senior Cambridge International programme begins in Year 10. Students complete the second year of their IGCSE Core courses in English, Mathematics, and Science, while also commencing the first year of their two-year IGCSE option subjects.
In Year 11, students complete IGCSE Extended Mathematics and IGCSE Coordinated Sciences, and sit the corresponding international examinations. They also begin the first year of a two-year Cambridge International AS Level English Language programme.
In Years 12 and 13, students study a range of Cambridge International AS and A Level subjects, providing a recognised pathway to university entrance both in New Zealand and internationally.
IGCSE typically requires 7 - 8 subjects.
A levels typically require 3 - 4 subjects per year.
Second languages such as French, German, Japanese, and Spanish can be available through arranged tutors.
