Qualifications
Ruru Specialist School is accredited to assess students for NCEA and Unit Standards
Our students are also supported to achieve Level 1 Supported Learning Unit Standards recognised by NZQA using course material designed by SLRnz and in further study through partner providers including S.I.T. (Southern Institute of Technology) and Te Kura (formerly The Correspondence School).
Students aged over 16 years are offered unit standards in a range of areas- with English, Mathmatics and Life Skills being a priority. Many students are working towards the New Zealand Certificate in Skills for Living for Supported Learners (Level 1).
In addition some students also achieve unit standards through STAR courses.
