Level 1 English
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. De Vries.
English is the study, use, and enjoyment of the English language, communicated orally, visually, and in writing, for a range of purposes and audiences and in a variety of forms. It is creative and critical, receptive and productive. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the study of English incorporates mātauranga Māori and considers our place in the Pacific. In addition, there will be opportunities for students to prepare for and write their literacy co-requisite assessments. Foundational literacy sets students up for success in all curriculum areas.
