Academic Programme
 Onehunga High School is an achievement orientated school, which sets and maintains high academic standards. The staff is well qualified and professional. While academic studies are emphasised, a wide range of sports and arts including music, drama and cultural activities are offered. The use of leading edge technology, including computers, is a particular strength of the school. Our location means that we are close to Auckland University and the major polytechnics.
 The school prepares students for all New Zealand public examinations and for tertiary education. You can select subjects taught at Year 9 (Form 3) to Year 13 (Form 7) level.
English for Speakers of Other Languages
When you first arrive at Onehunga High School you are referred to the ESOL Department for English assessment.
 The ESOL department is staffed by qualified English Language teachers. The department has a range of resources to help you with English language and with other subjects in the curriculum. They also provide support for classroom teachers who have ESOL students in their classes.
At junior level there are ESOL option classes available. At years 11, 12 & 13 there are special timetabled programs to help ESOL students. Entry to many subjects at senior level depends on your English language experience and ability. You will continue to get help from the ESOL department in your subject classes.
