Course aims / learning outcomes

This course is mainly project based and aims to develop students into independent thinkers and learners who are able to drive their own learning experiences.

Course content

Students plan their own courses focusing on those aspects of the course that they think will be of the greatest interest to them. This will then be supported by the LA who will ensure that their chosen pathway will guide them through NCEA.

Assessment statement

Students can choose to do assessments in English at any time provided they have displayed the learning and competence to do so.

Cross curricula courses are also supported.

Students are expected to develop their own programme of assessment, with support from the LA, which supports their particular academic or vocational goals.

All English achievement standards are available from Level 1 to 3. No unit standards are offered, or assessments from other subjects.

Authenticity

• Assignments that take place over time will be produced in an online system such as Google Docs. Learning Advisors will monitor student work by accessing document history. A portion of work will need to be completed during class time under Learning Advisor supervision. 
• Class tests will take place under supervised test conditions within class.
• Students may be required to sign an authenticity statement, perform certain parts of assessment tasks under close supervision, or show through interview and the existence of notes and supporting material that the work submitted by the student is genuinely his/her own work.
• All submitted work will be checked for AI.

Appeal Procedures

• Students have the right to appeal the mark they have been awarded. If a student wishes to appeal a grade, they should initially talk to the subject learning advisor about the marking process immediately after the marked assessment task is shown to them. If still dissatisfied the student should make an appointment and discuss grades with the Principal’s Nominee who will check that the correct procedures have been followed as outlined in the school and subject policies taking into account any special circumstances.
