Level 3 Economics

L3ECON
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss N. Cox.

Recommended Prior Learning

To be accepted for this course students must have earned NCEA Level 2 or have Commerce TIC (Teacher In Charge) approval.

This course has a focus on micro-economics which is a focus on a particular business/market rather than looking at the whole economy (macro-economics). 

It looks at the individual and their behaviour, production decisions, business & government. The approach taken is to indicate these ideas through the use of graphical analysis and discussion. 

If you took Year 12 Economics this will help you with this course with basic terminology, but not essential as in Year 13 we look at a different aspect of Economics.

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.
