The  size of our school does not limit the choices we offer in the senior school with an abundance of pathways available to our  students. As they move to the senior school, students become more specialized in their chosen pathway. We offer a broad range of subjects in the senior school as well as literacy and numeracy support,

At Ruawai College we have a seamless mix of academic and vocational subjects which all contribute to the NCEA qualification. Students have access to a range of NCEA approved courses through our Gateway programme.

With the introduction of the FarNet online classrooms our senior students now have unlimited access to option subjects of their choice online. We have the capability to provide a diverse range of academic pathways.
