Abstract: This paper describes one aspect of a study carried out by the author in three secondary schools in New Zealand, where the overall goal was to critically analyse the message about work and non-work given overtly and covertly by teachers in various areas of the curriculum. The article focuses principally on one of these schools, and on the messages given within this school regarding the choice of subjects and occupations. 'All Girls' High' was found to function as a political site involved in the construction and control of feminist discourse, meaning and subjectivities. This discovery is linked to the transformative and reproductive debate within the 'new' sociology of education, and specifically placed in a context which evaluates the effectiveness of liberal feminist discourse.
