Year 12 Alternative English
Subject Description
This course is designed to help students through Level 2 in a relevant way that sets students up for their future beyond school.
Students will undertake many shorter topics and tasks with real-world application that collectively contribute to several internally assessed standards. There are no external exams for this course.
For students who require extra extension, additional Achievement Standards can be offered.
Note: Year 10 students moving into Year 11 have the ability to select 12 Alternative English if the rest of their course load (likely through Trades) could lead to achieving NCEA Level 2 in 2024.
Students may indicate a preference for a particular course but the Head of Department has final discretion over student placement.
