The curriculum framework provides a wide range of personalised and collaborative learning experiences ensuring coverage of all aspects of the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC, 2007).
It’s aligned to the school’s vision and our aim to empower, develop and provide opportunities to transform learners with the various communities that they exist within. Our learning is innovative, learner centered, skills relevant and flexible to the needs of all learners. Growth and graduate kete tracks and inspires progress throughout the Rolleston College journey.
The learning vehicles
Three primary learning vehicles are designed to deliver the New Zealand curriculum at both the junior and senior level. Ako, Connected and Selected provide the framework to nurture the learner during their junior years as well as to successfully transition them into the senior school and beyond.
They have the combined aim of providing pathways to enable learners to develop the competencies they need for lifelong learning, success, self-confidence and joy.
They are designed to ensure that they provide the opportunity to develop not only content, but also the critical skills necessary to appropriately use that knowledge independently.
The school day will be divided into three basic learning periods that will provide learners with opportunities to have a number of learning experiences appropriate to their needs.

SchoolTV: a wellbeing resource
“It’s never been more challenging for parents to raise happy, healthy and resilient children.”
Like never before, parents need to be informed with clear, fact-based information on the many challenges faced by today’s youth. Topics such as youth anxiety, depression, self-harm, drug and alcohol use, cyberbullying and many others need clear explanation and guidance.
SchoolTV is a new ongoing resource that is now available to Rolleston College parents, caregivers and whānau. Each edition will address a major topic with expert interviews, fact sheets, parent quiz, recommended apps, books and much more. SchoolTV provides a single stream of independent factual information that saves parents time and confusion of searching online across multiple sites for information.
We hope you enjoy this valuable resource which will be regularly updated throughout the year with new topics. Use the button below to see our pick for this derived grade exam season.
