Enrolment Information Evening with VR experience!

Ready to Step into the Future? Experience VR at Enrolment Day!

​Are you ready to see how learning is changing? This year, Papakura High School is doing things differently.

​On our Enrolment Day this Thursday, 18th June, we are setting up a dedicated Virtual Reality (VR) Demo Booth just for our incoming Year 8 students and their families. Instead of just reading about a subject, you can put on a headset and experience it firsthand!

​Papakura High is incredibly proud to be the only school in South Auckland integrating regular, immersive VR sessions directly into our everyday teaching. It is now a core part of how we learn, helping students dive deeper into:

  • STEAM & Digitech: Visualizing complex science and tech concepts in 3D.
  • Careers: Virtually stepping into real-world work environments to explore future paths.
  • And so much more across our everyday school subjects.

​Don’t just take our word for it, come and try it for yourself! Bring the family, meet our awesome teachers and Heads of Departments, and take a virtual test drive of what your high school journey will look like next year.

​We can’t wait to see you there!
