Teacher in Charge: Ms H. deVries.
This course is for students that intend to leave school during or at the end of Year 12 or that have had limited success at Level 1 NCEA across the curriculum. Students will work towards gaining credits at level 2 with an emphasis on preparing them for the workforce. Units of work include: laws we encounter at home (legal obligations when owning a vehicle, legal responsibilities when renting); laws we encounter at work (employment agreements, how to manage working relationship problems, responding to discrimination) and laws we encounter in the wider community (accessing legal assistance, our rights and obligations when interacting with the Pirihimana/Police). There is no student pathway at the end of this course. Total credits available in this course: 22 (Unit Standards only).
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:
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.
