Our School
Our School
Chanel College offers seamless co-ed education from Years 7 to 13 in the Wairarapa. Our Catholic character and unique community spirit ensure that all our ākonga reach personal success.
Our unique approach to the curriculum and small class sizes allow our rangatahi to develop personal learning plans that help them achieve their goals.
Our junior school supports students through the transition from primary to senior years. They are offered opportunities across a wide range of subjects and extracurricular activities, tailored to their special interests and talents.
Our senior students have the opportunity to participate in national forms of assessment (NCEA) across two semesters each year.
However, we recognise that not every student’s success fits into an academic rubric. We encourage students to study subjects that interest them, fostering lifelong learning while meeting assessment criteria.
