Southland Boys’ High School Southland Boys’ High School

NCEA Level 3 English Knowledge

L3ENK
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. Hepburn.

Recommended Prior Learning

Students need 12 Credits from Level 2 to qualify for this course.

This is a new course for 2025 established because of the needs expressed by many students in 12K English for a pathway into Year 13. This course is based on internal standards only and there are 3 Achievement standards (12 credits) and 2 Unit standards (6 credits) available throughout the year. These credits will contribute towards the 60 credits needed at Year 13 but not for the 14 approved credits required for University Entrance in English. English Knowledge would be beneficial for young men to better understand how literacy is pertinent within the workplace and their future life. Writing and drafting will be an integral part of the course. Reading will be promoted through a variety of New Zealand based literature.

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.
