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:
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!
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.
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.

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:
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!
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:
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.

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.
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.
Term 4

Recommended Prior Learning12-14 credits in NCEA Level 1 Geography; including at least one external credit or TIC discretion. NCEA Level 1 Literacy will also help.
At Level 2 you will continue to explore the connection between people and environments. You will learn about a range of topics including; Crime and Justice in New Zealand, the Tongariro Volcanic Centre and Malaria around the world. Field trips will help you understand and put into practice what you learn. One of these is to Tongariro where you will research and collect your own data in the natural environment. It’s not too late to pick up this subject for the first time in Level 2, although it will take a bit more focus and effort. After completing this course you will have developed critical thinking skills and a better understanding of how the world works.
For more information on our course visit: https://sites.google.com/frase...
Term 1
We will begin with a recap of the key geographic skills and concepts. The first major Unit of Learning is focused on the Tongariro Volcanic Centre. There will be a 3-day field trip to Mt. Ruapehu, where we will conduct geographic research. We will look into the different aspects of the environment including, climate, soil, vegetation, and relief. We aim to understand how these aspects interact to shape the Tongariro Volcanic Centre. A geographic research report will be due in week 11.
Term 2
The key focus for this term will be making sense of and critiquing aspects of the New Zealand Justice System. We analyse patterns of crime in Hamilton and understand how different factors such as social deprivation (poverty) and alcohol, link to the pattern. We will have a visit from workers on the front line (NZ Police and Oranga Tamariki) where you will have the opportunity to ask some real life questions.
Term 3
This term will focus on multiple areas of learning. Firstly, we will look at the global pattern of Malaria and the factors that influence this. This topic allows us to explore a range of countries from around the world. Secondly, you will sit your practice exams this term. A large section of our program will focus on preparing you for these and the NCEA exams at the end of the year.
Term 4
This is a short term, we will focus on preparing you for NCEA external examinations.

Recommended Prior Learning12-14 credits in NCEA Level 2 Geography including at least one external AS or at HOD discretion. NCEA Level 2 is a minimum requirement.
At Level 3, you will build on your geographic knowledge and perspective. You will conduct geographic research, study Coastal Geography and analyse contemporary geographic issues and events. This course is a continuation of Level 2 Geography. There will continue to be a large focus on field trips, these will help you understand and put into practice what you learn. This is not a subject easily picked up for the first time in Level 3, but it will be incredibly useful in helping you look at the world differently. Geographers are highly valued employees as they are known to be critical thinkers and have a broad understanding of the world around us.
This is an approved subject for University Entrance.
Term 1
This term you will be reintroduced to the key concepts in Geography. We will complete a refresher unit on "how to think like a Geographer" including the skills of finding, interpreting and using source material as evidence.
We will then embark on our first unit - "Coastal Processes". This will see us learn about the processes that interact to create the coastal environment of Whiritoa Beach. Our learning will take us to the beach for a period of time where we will conduct geographic research in our environment which will contribute to your first internal assessment: AS 91430 (3.5), due at the end of the Term.
Term 2
This term sees us shift our focus globally. We will explore a contemporary geographic issue at a global scale.
The interaction of people and place is important this term and you will be challenged to consider the effects our actions and perspectives have on the environments we live in.
The unit is taught across the term, with your learning contributing to two internal assessments: AS 91431 (3.6) and AS 91432 (3.7).
Term 3
By now you should be in a strong position to turn your attention to our external assessments.
AS 91426 and AS91429 both use the knowledge you have gained in Terms 1 and 2 (Coastal Processes and Geographic Skills).
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.
Term 4
The final 4 weeks of your journey through Geography will be used to intensively revise and prepare for the External examinations that will take place from Week 5 of Term 4.

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

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.
Business Studies - NCEA Level 3
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.
This course is eligible for subject endorsement.

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.

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.

'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.
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.

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.

Digital Studies at Year 10 would be advantageous
The Level 1 Computer Science course is for students who are creative, logical thinkers and problem-solvers. Completing this course, they aim to move beyond being users and consumers of digital technologies to become creators and innovators of new technologies. The students will learn computer science and programming concepts that are behind the creation of digital technologies. They will apply computational thinking to solve problems by writing algorithms for digital devices to execute, and design and deliver digital outcomes according to the new digital technologies curriculum.
Students will develop a design for digital media outcomes like websites, videos, display boards using HTML/CSS, Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. They use basic iterative processes to develop a digital programming outcome using planning tools like MS Project and text-based programming languages like Python/JavaScript.
They will demonstrate an understanding of human-computer interaction by learning usability heuristics, and understanding of many of the ethical issues that are emerging in our digital society. This course offers students exposure to software and concepts that are commonly found within the industry.
