Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms J. Collins.

Recommended Prior Learning

To be accepted for this course students need to have earned Level 2 Literacy and a minimum of 13 credits from Level 2 English, including at least one external standard, or HOF approval.

Level 3 English - Classic to Contemporary requires students to explore language and think critically about a  range of texts, including film. Students will write in a range of styles, complete reading, and viewing assessments, and critically evaluate literature. 

Three internal and two external Achievement Standards are offered in this course. Learning is assessed throughout the year, during class time and for homework, as well as in the examination in November. 

Whilst this course does provide the opportunity to meet the Literacy requirements for University Entrance, students who do not already have these credits will struggle to succeed in this course.

Please note that courses will go ahead only if student numbers, staffing, and timetabling allow it.  Where a subject is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient numbers or resources to create an extra class, a ballot system may be applied.  
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.
