Courses Description
Head of Pathway: Ms M. Yelkur, Ms L. Neveling.
Course Description:
In this module you will use basic mathematical skills and concepts to solve quantitative chemistry problems.
In this Chemistry course you will learn:
- Why molecules look different and what types of bonding they have.
- Why do substances have different chemical and physical
properties? - How chemicals react with absorption or release of energy.
In this Mathematics & Statistics course you will learn to:
- Apply Trigonometric Skills in solving problems
- Apply coordinate geometry methods in solving problems
What is the Integration Happening?
You will be supported with mathematical skills and concepts to solve quantitative chemistry problems besides gaining 5 Cr from Mathematics Standards.

Disclaimer
The standards offered are correct at the time of writing. These are subject to change depending on student selections.
We endeavour to run all courses but are subject to minimise class sizes. Maximum class sizes apply. Once a course is full alternative selections are needed.
Course context or content may change by the start of the year.
Once a student makes their selections and confirms these, any changes must be accompanied by a letter of support from Whanau and are subject to available spaces in courses.
All Junior Bilingual students must select the literacy and numeracy modules in the language of their pathway each trimester and one other integrated language module (3 out of 4 of their modules must be bilingual).
All senior Bilingual students must take all modules available in the language of their pathway.
