I really like the way courses are arranged at Bethlehem College. The older the students get, the more freedom they have to choose classes. Starting with year seven, students take not only core subjects but also compulsory rotational subjects. So, for six weeks at a time, they add a class like information technology or art or Maori, etc. In this way, students experience a wide range of courses while not having to deal with too many subjects at once.

The College offers many educational and cultural activities as well. Twice a term, Bethlehem College has a mufti (casual clothes) day when students don't have to wear their uniforms. The purpose is to raise money for charity - so students who wear muftis are expected to donate money to charity. When I was there, the primary school kids raised NZD$1,500 for a little boy's operation! Needless to say, the students were thrilled.
Sports, inter-house debates, speech competitions, dramas, assemblies and much more are part of student life. But most importantly, the school constantly encourages students to think of others and to make a difference in others' lives.
