Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Tait.


Ko te reo te tuakiri

Ko te reo tōku ahurei

Ko te reo te ora


Language is my identity 

Language is my uniqueness

Language is my life


Our Level 3 English course provides opportunities for ākonga to use literature and language to explore self, society and the wider world.  Whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, manaakitanga are at the heart of our subject.  Ākonga will be challenged to think philosophically and explore literature and issues that interest them.  It is taught using a mix of written and visual texts, with plenty of opportunity for students to pursue their own literary and film interests.  Students will enjoy the independence and variety.


Ākonga will learn that:

  • Language and identity are inextricable.

  • Making and creating meaning are processes that occur when we interpret and when we produce text.

  • Reading is a source of enjoyment and enrichment.

NOTE: Students who do not gain at least 12 credits in Level 2 English, are not eligible for this course. Their options are to choose another subject or repeat the Level 2 English course.  Students who did English Foundation in Level 2 (12ENF) are not eligible for this course.

Disclaimer

Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.

The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
