Building and Construction

Early in 2005 the Onehunga High Construction School began by offering its first pre-apprenticeship course in Building and Construction. The programme is aimed at Y12 students who are looking to work in the construction / building industry. The course uses construction projects as the focal point of students’ learning.

The Building and Construction school is generously supported by Fletcher Construction and other local businesses.

In 2013, we began partnership with the Onehunga One Tree Hill Rotary Club and Habitat for Humanity, with the students building a 4 bedroom house each year for Habitat for Humanity.

Students spend blocks of time while at school learning theoretical and practical Building and Construction skills. The course also includes English, Mathematics, and Physical Education.
