Year 13 Computer Science Coding

Computer science not just about coding (though that’s a big part of it). It’s about solving problems, creatively building things, and making the future happen. From designing video games to programming apps, computer science is the magic behind the tech you use every day.

In Year 13, students will extend their skills and challenge themselves even more. They'll be working largely on their own projects, both individually and collaboratively, while learning how to create the best possible outcomes for their users. As well as coding, design and development skills will be built upon.

In terms of where this will lead, Computer Science opens doors to careers in gaming, cybersecurity, app design, space exploration, and lots more. Plus, it’s one of the highest-paying and fastest-growing fields out there. This year, our Year 12s and 13s went to SheTech 2025, to listen to women speaking their work in different fields in digital technology, such as Google and Trade Me. It was exciting to hear about the variety of work that is out there for our young, tech-savvy women.
