Pukekohe Christian School follows the Cambridge International Curriculum from Year 1-13. The Primary Programme develops English, Mathematics, and Science skills, preparing students for Secondary Education. It is a step-by-step program, providing learning objectives for each level and progression tests to assess student progress. Other subjects such as History, Physical Education, I.T., and Art are taught alongside the Cambridge Curriculum.
From Year 7, students study a broad curriculum of subjects in preparation for Checkpoint (Year 9), IGCSE (Year 11), AS (Year 12), and A-Level (Year 13) examinations. This includes Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, English Literature and Language, Mathematics, Accounting, Business Studies, Art and Design, Technology, Divinity, Health and P.E., Geography, History, and ICT. The Cambridge curriculum is flexible and works well with the special character of the school.
One of the outstanding aspects of PCS is the sense of community. Within the school, older students are encouraged to help and support the younger children in developing strong bonds and a raft of leadership opportunities. Parents also form an integral part of the PCS community supporting the school with camps, Duke of Edinburgh tramps, sporting events, Pet Day, Gala, Cultural day, educational trips, and a wide range of other activities within the school year. All families in our community are united in creating a secure and nurturing environment where students can achieve their full potential in an atmosphere of respect, integrity, and honor.
The PCS staff are led by our Principal, Mrs. Clare Humber. The Senior Management team includes Mrs. Jackie Phillips (Primary), Mrs. Monica Fourie (Secondary), and Mrs. Bendi van der Merwe (Secondary).
All of our teachers provide each student with the highest standard of education and students from Years 7-13 are taught by specialists in each subject. Regular Professional Development ensures that all staff continues to enhance and fine-tune their skills. Our staff is committed to the overall well-being of each student, not just his or her academic achievement. All PCS teachers have committed Christians and are able to uphold the strong values of the school working with students to create an atmosphere of tolerance, respect, and integrity.
