e-LEARNING

e-learning has considerable potential to assist the making of connections by enabling students to enter and explore new learning environments, overcoming barriers of distance and time.  


Collaboration, connection and accessing a world of knowledge and understanding is now the norm for Lindisfarne students.

LEARNING ENHANCEMENT

Our Learning Enhancement programme provides a well-established system of support for all learners whether they require individual tutoring for specific learning needs or extension through our Gifted and Talented programme.​​​​​​​

Seminars are available to support the learning of all students covering areas such as study skills and essay writing.


CAREER PLANNING 

We recognise that the key to success, both within school and without, is for students to have a passion for subjects and interests that ultimately lead to a satisfying career where students reach their full potential.

Our Careers Advisor provides our Senior School students the necessary information and confidence to face a succession of options, decisions and career choices.

NCEA

NCEA (National Certificate of Educational Achievement) is the national qualification for senior secondary school students in New Zealand. 

Since the introduction of NCEA, the College has been very pleased with the performance of our students at all three NCEA Levels; their results have consistently placed Lindisfarne College as one of the top-performing boys-only schools in the country. 

Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC)

Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) takes many forms from the traditional camps from Year 7 to 10 to field trips associated with particular curriculum subjects such as Science, Geography, Biology and Maori Studies.  

Our camps are designed to expose the boys to different and challenging situations in the outdoor environment where they have to co-operate as a group, are at times taken out of their comfort zone and most all have loads of fun.Year 7 & 8 Tango Marae Trip (Term 3)
