The following programmes help in this process.

* Students who select a Language (Chinese, Te Reo, French or Japanese) will study it for the whole year across both semesters. This means that a student who selects a Language option, will select TWO other options in Year 10. Year 10 language study is a necessary background

for study in that language in Year 11.

The table below shows the Learning Areas of the New Zealand Curriculum and how the compulsory subjects and option subjects are distributed across those Learning Areas. The compulsory subjects at CBHS expose students to the first five learning areas. Whilst they are not compelled to select options from every Learning Area, students are strongly encouraged to experience a broad range of Learning Areas.
