Maa te whakaaro nui e hanga te whare (Big ideas create the house);

Maa te maatauranga e whakauu (Knowledge maintains it).

Are you interested in living things? Are you considering a career in Biology or Health Science?

This foundational Biology course is a great introduction to learning more about the diversity and interactions of life on Earth, with a specific focus on human biology, psychology, and health science. While it leads directly to Level 2 Biology, it is also possible to enter Level 2 Chemistry and Physics from this course.

During this course, we will cover three key areas of biology and psychology:

Investigating Life on Earth
Investigating Microbes and their Effect(s) on Humans
Making Healthy Decisions

This course is largely internally assessed, with 14 credits available via internal assessments throughout the year, with another 5 credits available through an external assessment at the end of the year.

Biology is a literacy-rich subject and makes connections with a range of other curriculum areas, including English, Social Science, Mathematics, and Physical Education and Health.

If you want to find out more about living things, how their bodies work, and how they can contribute to healthy ecosystems , this is the course for you!

Course Overview

Term 1
In Term 1, we start our learning journey into Investigating Life.

We will explore the diversity of life on Earth and investigate the similarities and differences between species, with a focus on common life functions and ecological niche adaptations.

This learning will lead into the physiology of micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, as well as into human biology.

Term 2
In Term 2, we narrow our focus to micro-organisms and their relationship with humans. We will carry out a range of investigations, including both research and practical tasks, to learn about the beneficial and pathogenic (disease-causing) role(s) of microrganisms in the human body.

This learning will be internally assessed with an investigation into the relationship between humans and pathogenic bacteria which have become resistant to antibiotics.

Term 3
In Term 3, we delve deeper into the human behaviours which have led to antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria.

We will investigate the biological and social implications of antiobiotic resistance and explore the human behaviours which have contributed to this issue in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This learning will be internally assessed by conducting psychological research which can be used to investigate and explain human behaviour as well as developing a science-informed response to this issue in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Term 4
Throughout the year, we will be working on our skills for interpreting and analysing scientific information communicated through a range of media. This is a crucial skill for understanding scientific ideas or claims and using this information to make informed decisions for our lives and communities.

This learning will be externally assessed at the end of the year in a NZQA online examination.

If you successfully complete this course, you can gain up to 19 credits towards your NCEA Level 1 qualification. If you gain at least 14 at Achieved, Merit, or Excellence, including the externally assessed standard, you can also gain a course endorsement for Level 1 Biology.

Pathway

Biology - NCEA Level 2

Science offers aakonga a platform for gaining and applying skills across a wide range of potential pathways. Science thinking is logical and creative, subject specific and transferable. Through Science, aakonga will learn skills in critical thinking, communication, collaboration, analysis, research, inquiry, peer review, and systems thinking.

Biology connects the complexity of how living things interact. Aakonga engaging in this subject will learn that details matter as much as the big picture. The skills required to analyse and apply, think critically, and interpret the world around them are transferrable to a wide range of pathways.

Through Biology, aakonga will learn skills in critical thinking, communication, collaboration, analysis, research, inquiry, peer review, and systems thinking. Learning in Biology may lead ākonga to a career in research and development, medicine, dentistry, food and nutrition, psychology, education, agriculture, viticulture, biosecurity, forestry, conservation, resource management, or politics.

There are many pathways for furthering biology studies at tertiary level. Aakonga may wish to study a general science course, or specialise in areas such as botany, neuroscience, zoology, medical laboratory science, forestry, forensic pathology, physiotherapy, veterinarian science, or psychology.

Biology fosters the ability to interpret and communicate information about complex issues which will help aakonga to make informed, responsible decisions related to themselves, their communities, and the world. Learning about different inquiry methods encourages looking at the world from multiple perspectives and seeking out evidence to support conclusions. These skills are valuable in every career pathway.

Course Overview

Term 1
In Term 1, we start our learning journey by reviewing the fundamental conditions of life and investigating how specific adaptations enable animals to live successfully within their niche.

This learning addresses two internally assessed standards. The first is an investigation into the different structural and chemical adaptations of animals which help them to carry out vital life processes and survive in their niche. This standard is worth three credits.

The second standard is a four credit practical investigation focusing on the human cardiovascular system which will be completed in Term 2.

Term 2
In Term 2, we expand our focus to investigate the smallest unit of life, cells, and investigate life processes at the cellular level. We will carry out a range of investigations to explore key biological ideas which support cellular life processes throughout both Term 2 and Term 3.

Term 3
The learning started in Term 2 will continue throughout Term 3 and will address two standards. The first is an externally assessed standard about key cellular life processes, including photosynthesis, respiration, and cell division. This standard is worth four credits and is formally assessed in the NZQA examinations in November.

The second is an internally assessed standard for three credits, focused on developing our microscopy skills by investigating plant cells and unicellular organisms such as Paramecium.

Biology is a literacy-rich course, with 11 out of the 15 credits available counting towards University Entrance Literacy (Reading) and five out of the 15 credits counting towards University Entrance Literacy (Writing).

This is an approved subject for University Entrance and can lead into tertiary study in a Bachelor of Science, as well as many other learning areas.

This course is strongly recommended if you are considering a career in Health, including nursing, midwifery, dentistry, and medicine, or Veterinary Science.

Course Overview

Term 1
In Term 1, we start our learning journey into human body systems, including both anatomy and physiology, which will be internally assessed by our first achievement standard.

This achievement standard investigates how humans control and maintain stable body systems, such as temperature and blood glucose level. This is called homeostasis. This standard is worth three credits and counts towards your University Entrance Literacy (Reading) requirement.

We will then develop our ideas further by designing a practical investigation to explore the homeostatic response to sugar ingestion in humans. This achievement standard is worth four credits and counts towards your Level 1 Numeracy requirement.

Term 2
In Term 2, we start work on our externally assessed achievement standard, which explores the responses of plants and animals to the external environment, and will continue throughout Term 2 and 3. This standard includes how plants and animals react to both the physical environment, such as heat or light, and the presence of other living organisms, such as competitors, parasites, and predators. This standard is worth five credits and is formally assessed in the NZQA examinations in November. This achievement standard counts towards either the Writing or the Reading component of your University Entrace literacy requirement.

Term 3
In Term 3, once we have completed our externally assessed standard, we will move onto our last internal standard which explores how gene technology has been or could be used in Aotearoa New Zealand to fight disease and/or protect our unique ecosystem. This standard involves developing an informed response to a socio-scientific issue and is worth three credits, as well as counting towards your University Entrance Literacy (Reading) requirement, and will be completed in Term 4.

Term 4
In Term 4 we will aim to complete our last internally assessed standard as well as revise inp reparation for the final NZQA examinations.

If you successfully complete this course, you will gain up to 15 credits towards your NCEA Level 3 qualification. If you gain at least 14 credits at Achieved, Merit, or Excellence, you can also gain a course endorsement for Level 3 Biology.

University Entrance Literacy can be achieved through this course, as this requires five Reading (11) are offered) and five Writing (five are offered) credits. If you gain at least 14 credits in this course, it can be used as one of your University Entrance approved subjects.

Science - NCEA Level 1

SCI1

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Healy.

Maa te whakaaro nui e hanga te whare (Big ideas create the house);

Maa te maatauranga e whakauu (Knowledge maintains it).

Are you interested in finding out about the world and everything in it?

This foundational Science course is a great introduction to developing a range of scientific investigation skills, including information analysis and critical thinking, with a specific focus on our environment here in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ecosystems within it. While it leads directly to Level 2 Chemistry and Physics, it is also possible to enter Level 2 Biology from this course.

Scientific skills and knowledge are important for day to day living. They help to inform problem solving and decision making across all aspects of life. Many of the major challenges and opportunities that confront our world need to be considered from a scientific perspective.

During this course, we will cover three key areas of science:

Investigating Earth Systems, including interactions between the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere
Investigating Chemical Reactions on Earth
Investigating Heat Transfer on Earth

This course is largely internally assessed, with 16 credits available via internal assessments throughout the year, with another 5 credits available through an external assessment at the end of the year.

Science is a literacy and numeracy-rich subject and makes connections with a range of other curriculum areas, including English, Social Science, Mathematics, and Physical Education and Health.

Science is required for many career pathways including Health, Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science, Veterinary Science, Nutrition Science, and Piloting. It is also strongly recommended for Trades and Apprenticeships, Armed Services, and Teaching.

If you want to find out more about our planet and its interacting environments, this is the course for you!

Course Overview

Term 1
In Term 1, we start our learning journey into Investigating Earth Systems.

We start with the basics about matter and energy and how these influence the interactions between different systems on Earth, including the geosphere (Earth), hydrosphere (oceans and waterways), atmosphere (sky), and biosphere (living things).

We also learn about the crucial role of inquiry in Science and practice a range of different investigation skills including observing and exploring, ,classifying and identifying, modelling, fair testing, and pattern seeking.

Scientific investigations are a major component of this course, so there is a lot of practical, hands-on, learning activities, and this investigative learning will be assessed early in Term 2.

Term 2
In Term 2, we narrow our focus to chemical reactions, such as combustion, neutralisation, combination and decomposition, and precipatation reactions as they occur on Earth.

We will carry out a range of investigations, including both research and laboratory practical tasks, to learn about chemical reactions, both in general and in specific environmental contexts.

This learning will be internally assessed early in Term 3.

Term 3
In Term 3, we shift our focus to Physics, specifically energy and how heat is transferred on Earth and in our society.

This learning will be internally assessed with an investigation into heat transfer throughout Term 3 and Term 4.

Term 4
Throughout the year, we will be working on our skills for identifying and describing features of science that contribute to the development of science ideas, specifically in Aotearoa New Zealand. This is a crucial skill for understanding how scientific ideas emerge and evolve over time to influence learning and informed decision-making in our lives and communities.

This learning will be externally assessed at the end of the year with a common assessment activity (CAA) provided by NZQA.

If you successfully complete this course, you can gain up to 21 credits towards your NCEA Level 1 qualification. If you gain at least 14 at Achieved, Merit, or Excellence, including the externally assessed standard, you can also gain a course endorsement for Level 1 Science.

To understand who we are and our role in society, we need to know about the societies that have laid the foundations for the world in which we live. Classical Studies is the study of the history, art, architecture, and society of the classical period (pre 600 A.D.) This course takes a fascinating look at the ancient Classical world. It will provide an in-depth understanding of the ancient Greek and Roman period through the study of culture, mythologies, ideas, concepts, vases, philosophies, and Philosophers.

Topics studied included:

The Odyssey
Gods, Goddesses, and Mythology
Architecture and Sculpture in Ancient Greece and Rome
Pompeii and the eruption of Vesuvius

Course Overview

Term 1
This term you will be introduced to the Classical World of Ancient Greece.
Our main objective during this term is to become familiar with finding, interpreting, and using Primary source materials. Each student will complete a "groundwork" unit to strengthen their skills in analysis and writing.

You will begin to explore significant event in Roman history - the eruption of Mt Vesuvius and the destruction of the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

You will complete an examination of the event and how it is important in helping us to understand ancient civilisations through AS 91202 (2.3) - Demonstrate understanding of a significant event in the classical world.

Both of your internal assessments contribute towards University Entrance Literacy requirements.

Term 2
This term our focus shifts towards exploring the important ideas and beliefs that were held in the classical world, specifically in Ancient Greece.

We are going to examine the values, beliefs, and characteristics associated with Ancient Greek heroes, using Homer's epic novel The Odyssey.

We will use our new learning to complete AS 91204 (2.5) - Demonstrate understanding of the relationship between aspects of the classical world and aspects of other cultures.

Term 3
By now you should be in a strong position to turn your attention to our external assessment.
AS 91200 uses the knowledge you have gained in Terms 1 and 2 (Greek values and beliefs, and Odysseus the Greek hero).

We will measure our progress this term by taking part in our Senior School exams - an opportunity to experience the external assessments and practice our ability to communicate our ideas under pressure. This is particularly important if you wish to gain University Entrance Literacy by the end of the year.

Term 4
The final four weeks of your journey through Classical Studies will be used to intensively revise and prepare for the External examination that will take place from November onwards.

Minimum 12 Level 2 credits from Classical Studies OR NCEA Level 2 English, History or another Social Science subject. Alternatively, at the discretion of Leader of Learning for Historical Studies (GRL)

Classical Studies is the study of the civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome. The importance of the Greeks and Romans is their immense influence on the development of western civilisation. Our language, literature, art, drama, philosophy, political and legal systems, art and architecture are all derived from Greece and Rome.

In studying Classics we are studying the European origins of our own culture. At the same time Greece and Rome are fascinating subjects in their own right, and the interdisciplinary nature of Classics means that there are links with almost all other Social Science and Arts subjects.

This is a University Approved subject.

Course Overview

Term 1
This term you will be introduced to the Classical World of Ancient Rome.
Our main objective during this term is to become familiar with finding, interpreting, and using Primary source materials. Each student will complete a "groundwork" unit to strengthen their skills in analysis and writing.

We will do this by focussing on key ideology(ies) that were held in the classical world. We are going to examine the values, beliefs, and rituals associated with death and the afterlife in Ancient Rome, using Virgil's epic novel The Aeneid.

We will use our new learning to complete AS 91397 (3.4) - Demonstrate understanding of significant ideology(ies) in the classical world.

Term 2
This term you will shift your attention to the lasting influences of Ancient Greece and Rome on today's societies through AS 91398 (3.5) - Demonstrate understanding of the lasting influences of the classical world on other cultures across time. We will use the portrayal of the ancient Amazons as our topic of choice as we explore how their image and legend have lasted centuries.

Both of these internal assessments contribute towards the requirements for University Entrance Literacy.

Term 3
By now you should be in a strong position to turn your attention to our external assessments.
AS 91395 and AS 91396 both use the knowledge you have gained in Terms 1 and 2 (Roman values and beliefs, and Aeneas the Roman hero).

We will measure our progress this term by taking part in our Senior School exams - an opportunity to experience the external assessments and practice our ability to communicate our ideas under pressure. These are particularly important if you are intending to use Classical Studies as one of your three University Entrance subjects.

“Entrepreneurship is about turning what excites you in life into capital, so you can do more of it and move forward with it” (Richard Branson)

This course aims to provide you with opportunities to engage in a meaningful way with the world around you. You will be learning in an authentic and connected way. It will give students a sound understanding into the world of commerce as well as a practical application of business and entrepreneurial concepts.

'Tē tōia, tē haumatia.'

Nothing can be achieved without a plan, workforce and a way of doing things.

Course Overview

Term 1
Throughout Term 1 you will work in a team to plan, carry out, review and refine a community based business activity with a community well-being focus. You will be required as a team to come up with a business idea, complete a Lean Canvas and the validate (test) your product either by taken a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to market early or by taking a prototype to your target market to test and get feedback on your product/service idea. You will use feedback from this validation to improve your business idea.

During this term you are required to get your business idea off the ground. This will mean that you carry out market research for your team’s product/service idea. You are then expected to present, analyse and draw conclusions from your research. As a group you will:
• Collect relevant secondary research
• Identify the aim of the research plan
• Design your primary research
• Collect and record sufficient primary market research relevant to your team’s aim
• Present the results using suitable charts and/or tables
• Draw a conclusion
• Identify the strengths and weaknesses of your market research

Term 2
Throughout Terms 2 and 3 you will continue to work in your team to plan, carry out, review and refine a community based business activity with a community well-being focus. Moving forward, you will, towards the end of term 2 and in term 3 complete ongoing business cycles.
There are nine tasks to be completed by the end of Term 3:
• Come up with a product idea and develop a lean canvas
• Validate your product idea either by taking an MVP to market or by taking a prototype to your target market
• Prepare a planning portfolio for your business activity
• Carry out the first cycle of the business activity
• Reflect on how well the business activity was performed
• Refine the planning portfolio to improve your planned business activity
• Carry out the second cycle of the business activity
• Reflect on how well the second business activity was performed
• Refine the planning portfolio for the future

Term 3
Throughout this term you will continue to be gathering evidence about your ability to communicate within your business team whilst working towards your business objective. The emphasis is on your individual ability to communicate effectively within your team. This involves you communicating ideas, opinions, asking questions, responding to questions and ability to listen and being respectful of others. Evidence may include team meetings, oral reports, written communication between team members related to your objective and photos/video recordings of your performance.

Term 4
This term will be your opportunity to reflect on your business project for the year. For those seeking subject endorsement you will also be working on the External exam for AS 90844.

Learning Areas:

Business Studies - NCEA Level 3

Pathway

Asa group students need to make and sell over 2 selling cycles. It would be great if you have a been playing with a business idea in your head before you start this course.

Business plans need to be completed prior to the first selling phase and written in the future tense. After taking the product to market students review the success, or otherwise, of the activity, with a particular focus on progress towards the SMART objectives. They then consider any changes that need to be made to the plan prior to the second selling phase.

The product is then taken to market again prior to students reflecting on the success of the second selling cycle.

To reach Excellence, students would refine the business plan again. This third version should be such that an outside party could implement the plan in the future.

It may be possible for students to carry their Level 2 business idea into Year 13.

Challenge the Invaders

Throughout history, groups have invaded others groups, dominating them with their power to control and assimilate. Level 2 History explores invasions, large and small, to understand what happened in the past so that we can be part of the change for the future.

As a class, we will explore the 1863-64 Invasion of the Waikato by the government and the resulting war between Maaori and the Government as Maaori challenged the invaders and defended their land against them. We will also explore the 1970s Dawn Raids and where the New Zealand police invaded people's homes to find people they deem to be illegally overstaying their work visas. Challenging this invasion into homes were individuals and groups such as the Polynesian Panthers.

You will also have the opportunity to research an event of your choice in relation to our theme.

You will develop your understanding of history through examining the perspectives, causes and effects, continuity and change, and significance of events that we study.

History teaches you to:

think
to read and analyse information critically
to have an argument and support it with evidence.

Why should you study history?

Studying history makes you a more interesting, skilled and empathetic member of society. The skills and knowledge developed will help you in a wide variety of vocations in the future.

History prepares you for many different careers but is particularly relevant to being a Lawyer, Researcher, Teacher, Iwi Leader, Politician, Analyst, Psychologist, Sociologist, Advocate and many more.

This video explains what history is and why it is important (start to 2'53 min). It also shares information about the many different careers that it can prepare you for (2'53 mins onwards).

Term 2
Challenge the Invaders - The Dawn Raids
1970's New Zealand police are invading people's homes to find people they deem to be illegally overstaying their work visas. Targeting primarily Pacific Island peoples, who had been encouraged to come to NZ in the year's prior, the methods and tactics used by police caused outrage and calls of racism against Pacific Island peoples in NZ. Challenging this invasion into homes were individuals and groups such as the Polynesian Panthers.

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Bathan.

Recommended Prior Learning

Learning: Have achieved numeracy and literacy from Level 1.

'Accounting was the course that helped me more than anything', Julian Robertson, billionaire and financial provider to many charitable organisations.

Students who take Accounting will gain knowledge and skills that will be very useful should they become business owners or investors. It is also a pathway into becoming future managers and global leaders in business.

Throughout the year you will develop your understanding of Accounting through the preparation and interpretation of financial statements for small business owners. There will be an introduction to using Xero Accounting software for processing everyday business transactions for a small business.

Course Overview

Term 1
A partnership is defined as a group of persons carrying on a business with a view to making a profit. During this term you will learn the reasons for forming business partnerships and explore the financial areas that may result in future conflict for the partners. Of particular importance is the contribution each partner makes to the start-up costs of the partnership and then the way in which profits will be distributed to each partner is rewarded according to their effort, expertise and capital contribution.
You will complete practical tasks involving the formation and profit distribution to partners, plus explaining the entries involved to your client who has little or no knowledge of the importance of good financial management to ensure that the partnership continues to operate in the future.

Term 2
In the future when you are an awesome entrepreneur you will need to understand your financial situation – in other words be able to keep track of your income, expenses and view the profit you have made. To do this you will use XERO accounting software.
“Xero is the emerging global leader of online accounting software that connects small businesses to their advisors and other services. Xero provides business owners with real-time visibility of their financial position and performance in a way that’s simple, smart and secure.”
Our unit of work is designed in such a way that by using the video instructions alongside the tasks you will be able to work independently at your own pace. When you want to go ahead at your pace you can, when you want to review a tricky transaction - you can! The tasks and videos can be accessed through any device 24/7.

Term 3
During this term you will prepare financial statements for sole proprietor businesses. Through preparing an Income Statement you will be able to calculate the profit of the business for the year. Following this statement you will prepare a Statement of Financial Position which sets out the Assets, Liabilities and Equity sections for the business owner. Our unit of work is designed in such a way that by using the notes and examples provided alongside the tasks you will be able to work independently at your own pace. When you want to go ahead at your pace you can, when you want to review a tricky section of work - you can! Alongside the in class teaching and learning for this topic is a digital version that can be accessed through any device 24/7. This has the added advantage of giving you instant feedback on how you are progressing and is a great tool for increasing your confidence.

Term 4
The purpose of analysis and interpretation is to tell the story behind the numbers in the financial statements of the business. As you work through this unit of work you should always think about ‘what is the story?’ I am telling here. The owner of the business is usually the audience for your story. Your story will explain and justify both the good and not so good financial things that have happened over the past year(s). Often the good and not so good financial things are explained and justified by non-financial happenings in the business.
The best stories have:
• a character, in this case the business and its owner;
• a series of interesting events, what the business has been doing over the last year(s); and
• a conclusion justifying the impact of the events related to the business on the business and/or the owner.

Course Overview

Term 2
The future may see you in as the owner or manager of a large manufacturing business. This term you will be expected to produce quotes for customers that involve some future production by your business. In order to do this a calculation of the costs of production (materials and labour), a charge to cover all the other costs of operating a factory (rent, equipment repair, lighting and heating, etc) and a profit margin. As this is a business that employs staff you are expected to prepare a report that explains the processes the business has in place to ensure that all costs are accurately accounted for to ensure the continuing viability of the business. Continuing viability comes from making a profit so that the price the customer pays is equally as important as its cost.

Term 3
Often thought you would like to invest in the share market or know a bit more about the employment opportunities available in a particular company then this unit of work will give you some answers. You are expected to prepare a report on a New Zealand reporting entity’s annual report (e.g Briscoes, The Warehouse) that meets the needs of a user determined by you. Your report will tell a story about the company you select and you will read their annual report and use this information to help decide whether the company meets the needs of your user.
Interpreting the annual report for an external user involves explaining the relevant financial and non-financial information, which may be found in the current annual report and other media related data on your chosen company. Take notice of the economic climate and special events etc. that might impact on the retail environment in New Zealand.

Term 4
Photography is your passion and you see an opportunity to earn some extra dollars by …… In order to do this you need to borrow some funds to update your current photography equipment. This term you will learn to ask the what if, questions that can be answered very quickly by applying some straightforward formulae which allows you to make an informed decision about the way forward for your business idea. Linked to this is the practical application of preparing a cash budget to confirm whether or not your proposal to start up or expand a business idea is possible.
