Year 9 English

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. Hepburn.

In this English course we hope to provide the literacy skills necessary for students to develop the knowledge and capabilities in reading and writing that enables learners to access further learning, develop important life skills, engage in employment and in their communities. We hope our students will learn to make connections to personal learning in a bicultural context. Significant learning in English includes making sense of written texts, learning to read critically and reading for different purposes.

Pathway

Disclaimer

Southland Boys' High School endeavours to timetable courses depending on students' needs, interests and future plans.  Many factors can influence whether a course is able to be offered in the following year.  These can include:

  • Student demand
  • Staff availability
  • Resourcing

These factors can also impact on timetabling, and as a result students will be asked for input about any clashes that may occur.

Where a course is not able to be run, students' back-up subjects will be used.  If there are issues with student selections and the timetabling process, students will have the opportunity to make a decision in conjunction with staff input on the best solution.
