Rangitoto College has four strategic fundamentals in teaching and learning that shape our curriculum: the Behaviour Curriculum, the Knowledge‑Rich Curriculum, the School Teaching Principles, and Mātauranga Māori.

Challenging, engaging, and rewarding — our scholarship programme stretches each student’s abilities while preparing them for success in the NZQA Scholarship exams. With a broad curriculum and dedicated scholarship classes built into the timetable, students are supported to refine the skills that will enable them to excel at the highest academic level.

At Rangitoto College, students benefit from a dual‑pathway approach, with the choice of NCEA or the globally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.

Our students share how Rangitoto College’s dual‑pathway options, scholarship classes, and wide range of extra‑curricular opportunities have not only enhanced their academic outcomes but also built the confidence, adaptability, and interpersonal skills that prepare them for life beyond school.
