The curriculum at LAC is organised around the Learning Areas identified in the New Zealand Curriculum: English, the Arts, Health and Physical Education, Mathematics and Statistics, Science, the Social Sciences and Technology, and the school’s special character subject - Bible. Through these subjects the school weaves relevant values and key competencies.
LAC’s attitude towards students and their learning is:
-
All students are to be seen as individuals (we really want to know each person) and we will not give up on any one of them.
-
All students will engage in the learning process and will achieve.

This attitude is ‘caught’ by students, with most succeeding in passing NCEA. The average pass rate at LAC over the last four years has been:
-
Level 1 NCEA- 86%
-
Level 2 NCEA- 89%
-
Level 3 NCEA- 92%
It is pleasing to see progress at LAC with success in NCEA endorsements and with the scholarship exam. In 2009, 18% of Year 13 achieved NCEA Level 3 with an Excellence endorsement (the national average was 2.7%). One of our students in recent years gained four scholarship passes. Two of these were outstanding scholarship passes with the student being positioned in the top 20 in NZ.
