Äkonga will develop skills to manage their personal finances that they will be able to use later in life to ensure they are wisely spending, borrowing, and investing. They will begin their journey to financial wellbeing now and take this through into their adult lives.
Äkonga will explore payslips, tax codes, and what deductions are made before creating and adjusting a budget for a family, and then investigate insurance products to determine suitable products for different situations before looking into banking products and services that suit their needs. Students may also select to demonstrate their spreadsheet skills.
Next Äkonga will develop their understanding of Kiwisaver, which many will already be contributing to, along with other investment types. Developing their understanding of how income and expenses change through three major life stages will be their next focus, before finally exploring how to fund tertiary study.

3 Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of human thought, emotions, and actions. It helps us to understand human behaviour and attempts to explain why we behave in the way that we do. Because individuals vary in their personality, motivation and intelligence, psychology explores how these aspects interact and how individuals develop their identity. Psychology addresses questions by deconstructing patterns of thinking, emotion, and behaviour, and identifying and challenging assumptions, theories, and mores. The course covers research methods and the application of psychology in real-life situations, providing a foundation for understanding human behaviour and preparing students for further studies in psychology.

3 Whakairo
Youāll dive into traditional MÄori art like kÅwhaiwhai (painted patterns), whakarei (decorations), and whakairo (carving), checking out examples from both MÄori and non-MÄori places. Along the way, youāll learn about the MÄori customs behind whakairo and get hands-on making your own carvingsālike pouaka (carved boxes), wheku (traditional head shapes), rÄkau whawhai (weapons), and kÅwhaiwhai (painted panels). Although traditions say females do not carve, whakairo will be open to all students. It will be decided by whÄnau whether a student can enrol in the whakairo programme.
