Students experience all areas of curriculum
Being taught by a specialist teacher from an early age has tangible benefits for students. This according to ACG Strathallan Dean of Year 7 and 8, Clinton Thomas, an educator with 15 years’ experience teaching and five years as a dean at the independent school in Karaka.
From the age of five, students at ACG Strathallan leave their main classroom to receive specialist subject teaching in Science, PE & Health, Mandarin, Music and Visual Art.
“Students need to be given opportunities to experience all areas of the curriculum such as arts, sports, sciences and main subjects such English and Maths so they can then make smart and informative choices around hobbies and careers,” he says.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
