Content/Skills:

Ashburton College is part of NetNZ (netnz.org), a community of secondary and area schools who specialise in enabling online, networked learning across schools, and the provision of high quality online programmes of learning for secondary age students throughout New Zealand.  This allows our students to enrol in online courses and be supported by their eTeachers using Google Hangouts or Zoom and a variety of web-based learning environments. 

Students might choose an online subject if they: want to take a subject Ashburton College does not offer, have a column clash, need to be more flexible with their learning or they enjoy learning online. Each year approximately fifty Ashburton College students successfully complete an online subject through NetNZ (netnz.org).
