Students are able to choose from a diversity of subjects ranging from Languages, Sciences, Mathematics, technical and vocational. Students can select courses from Year 11, 12 and 13 for study in one particular year, and tailor the course to suit their needs.
In Year 12 students predominately study NCEA Level 2 and at Year 13 students predominately study NCEA Level 3. Dargaville High School requires students to study Level 2 English enabling them to gain the English requirements for University entrance.
For an NCEA Level 2 Certificate, Students must achieve 80 Credits. Students will need to gain 60 credits from the Level 2 standards whilst the remaining 20 credits can be from either Level 1 or Level 2. To gain this qualification students must have already gained the Level 1 numeracy and literacy credits.
For an NCEA Level 3 Certificate students must achieve 80 credits, 60 of which must be from Level 3 standards. The remaining 20 credits can be from either Level 1, 2 or 3.
Adult students are welcome and are admitted after an interview with the Principal. Adults are able to study at various levels and subjects for their second chance at education to obtain qualifications for a career change. Adult students offer another dimension to the community concept of the school and offer role models to younger students in the school.
