Recommended Prior Learning

Entry to this course is only by the recommendation of HOF or Senior Leaders.

This course covers a range of learning activities. Students will explore language and think critically about language and literature. Tasks include reading, writing, speaking, viewing, researching, and connecting ideas.

Assessments are taken at a slower pace than in the General English or Literature courses. Students have some opportunity to tailor their own assessment programmes.

The major focus of this course is to enable students to gain the required Literacy credits either through approved English standards or through the Literacy co-requisite exams.

Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2024, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
