Level 1 Integrated Studies
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs K. Ataria, Ms A. Martin.
Integrated Studies is a course designed to be taken for both Social Studies and English. In this course we will tackle some NCEA credits by learning in different and more interactive ways that are more suitable for students that learn best both inside and outside of the classroom. We will build your literacy skills by exploring how our past has shaped what life is like today, explore our school garden and outdoor spaces to learn some life skills, and develop our understanding of life outside of our kura. We will explore Te Ao Maori concepts to explore ideas about identity and our turangawaewae, thinking about who we are and why where we come forms matters. This course is suitable for those that like to work with support to build their communication skills and who want to work collaboratively with others as we earn some credits from across different NCEA subject areas.
Integrated Literacy Skills: We aim to build your skills in reading comprehension, to help you understand what you read. We want you to be strong communicators, able to form an argument, and express your ideas clearly in your writing.
This course is designed for students who would benefit from improving their core literacy skills. You will select this course and SSCIS1
