Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Sopers.

Recommended Prior Learning

This course has no prerequisites; open entry for all.

Most assessments have both a practical and theoretical component. Students are assessed in as many authentic contexts as possible, this may include cafes held on the school site with genuine customers paying for services, catering the school's production on one night, and supporting community and sports events. Students can work at their own pace, within a reasonable timeframe, and choose their own course.

The expectation is for the student to achieve 28 credits.

Students will be expected to do self-directed learning with resources supplied to them.

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.
