ROOM 9
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22 verse 6.
Kia Ora and welcome to the vibrant world of Room 9 at Southcity Christian School, where the journey of learning begins with excitement, exploration, and boundless possibilities. Rooted in Christ, our program lays the groundwork for lifelong learning, fostering essential skills like Literacy- BSL (Better Start Literacy), Numeracy (Prime Maths), and Christian values (Foundation Worldview.)
In Room 9, we create a nurturing environment where every tamariki feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. Through small group learning, personalized attention ensures that each student receives the guidance they need to excel academically, socially and spiritually.
We inspire extraordinary thinkers and shape a brighter future for generations to come. Welcome, to our world, the classroom, filled with endless possibilities!
