Teacher in Charge: Ms J. Cooper.
Recommended Entry CriteriaLevel 1 English is compulsory in Year 11. Not all of the listed Standards will be covered, choices will be negotiated with the class teacher. Teacher consultation and guidance at course selection time will be vital.
Level 1 English classes will build on the skills developed in Years 9 and 10 and will focus on becoming familiar with the Standards needed in later years for continuing with English at NCEA Level 2 and for attending university. The course is based on critical analysis of and response to texts, and advancing writing skills.
All courses are dependent on student numbers and staffing. Students will be advised if the school is unable to provide the subjects they select. If a course is over-subscribed, students will be required to take part in a selection process.
