ART PRINTMAKING 31F - Full Year

PRN31F
Course Description

Teacher in Charge:

Recommended Prior Learning

Successful completion of Year 12 Art Printmaking and/or Year 12 Art Painting, either the semester or full year courses, is strongly recommended as prior learning for Year 13 Printmaking. Students who have not successfully completed this course should see Mr Soltero before selecting Printmaking as a subject.


Students develop and extend ideas in a mature body of art work with teacher guidance. They research contemporary artists and learn to apply that research to advance their own work. They produce sophisticated prints that can form part of a submission if they wish to apply to any art/design/photography based tertiary programme. Guidance is provided for all tertiary applications.

Refer to the links below to see examples of student work.


Future Possibilities
Entry to tertiary Art, Design or Photography courses is often through the submission of a portfolio representing a range  of art study in the Year 13 courses, therefore students considering studying Art and/or Design at University should enrol in two of the following Level 3 courses: Art Design, Art Photography, or Art Painting, Art Printmaking or Art Sculpture. These can be taken as full year or as a semester course. 

See Mr Soltero for more information.

If a student achieves 14 Level 3 credits in this course it will be counted as an approved subject for University Entrance.

ART DESIGN 21F – Full Year

ARD21F
Course Description

Teacher in Charge:

Recommended Prior Learning

Maturity, enthusiasm and ability to work independently are required. Successful completion of Art11F is an advantage because these students tend to know how to manage relatively large independent projects and are more aware of how the creative process operates.


In Art Design, students learn to develop visual ideas through the creative design process by studying and applying the techniques of established designers who give popular brands their identity e.g. Quicksilver, Adidas, Adobe, etc. Students learn critical thinking and self management skills that are transferable to many endeavours. 

The design process is central to a wide range of design disciplines from fashion to architecture.   

Student work examples are on our blogsite which also lists all internal assessment tasks; phsard.blogspot.com 


In this course - 

• Students select their own theme with teacher guidance within one of three categories: Product, Event or Awareness. 

• Students do not need to know how to draw but we do use sketch books.

• Students learn to use digital media by first working out ideas in their sketch books and then finding the best way to digitally develop these ideas (with teacher guidance and support) working with Photoshop, InDesign or Illustrator.


Future Possibilities
Successful completion of this course gives students entry to Art Design 31F or Photography 31F. Entry to tertiary Art and/or design courses is often through folio submission showcasing a range of work, therefore it is recommended that students considering studying Art and/or design at University enrol in two of the following Level 2 courses: Art Design, Art Photography, Art Painting, Art Printmaking, Art Sculpture.

DRA31F
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Grubb.

Recommended Prior Learning

8 Credits in Year 12 Drama or approval from Head of Department.


This course builds upon the foundations of Level 1 and 2 Drama. The students will study the fundamentals of drama and performance with more depth and sophistication. They will be expected to work independently at this level. They will study techniques to communicate meaning in performance and critically analyse the performance of others.

Drama is a fundamental subject for applying and exploring the key competencies. Students continuously work in a group setting, using their communication, teamwork and leadership skills. Students analyse texts and interpret meaning. They are required to think creatively and independently.

The units of work we cover include:
- devising, scripting (if applicable) and presenting a solo performance.
- studying a theatre form and applying the features of this form in a performance to an invited audience
- analysing and exploring acting techniques, theorists and drama processes
- There is the option of one external examination which focuses on critiquing and analysing a live professional performance they have seen during the year.

There are 22 credits available in this course. All assessments are Level 3 Achievement Standards.
If a student achieves 14 credits from the Achievement Standards, this course can count as an approved subject for University Entrance. However, if a student chooses both Drama 31F and Production 31F the credits gained in both subjects will count towards ONE approved subject only, NOT two separate subjects. Please see Careers staff for further clarity.

Future Possibilities
This course will prepare students for future academic and vocational opportunities in Theatre and Film, Broadcasting, Law, Communications, Journalism, Teaching, Early Childhood and many other areas that focus on the application of key competencies; teamwork, communication, diplomacy and analytical thinking.

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms A. Sullivan.

Recommended Prior Learning

12 English or Media credits at Level 2


This course is designed to encourage students to think about how texts are crafted; both in what they create themselves and how directors, authors, orators etc. craft their own work. This is an academic course and allows student to enhance their creativity and reflect on how others have engaged in the process. 


Assessment
In this course students will be offered the following assessment opportunities:

AS 3.2: This is the external assessment for this course and will be a written exam that communicated their understanding of a studied visual text. They will learn to evaluate film techniques and consider director's purpose as they communicate their ideas in an essay.

AS 3.5: This is the oral presentation internal standard - please do not be scared of the concept of presenting a speech as this is not the only way this standard needs to be presented. There are options to pre-record your presentation, to present it as a podcast or to have the opportunity to teach your peers about an idea in a seminar style presentation. Through the course you will craft your oral presentation skills and develop skills that are incredibly important in leadership, work and study life and in your interpersonal relationships

AS 3.6: This is an internal standard where you will create a visual and verbal text that communicates an idea to your audience. This might be in the form of a visual essay, short film or screencastify for example. It's a creative task that requires well crafted skills that develop from your communication and critical thinking capabilities.

AS 3.7: This internal standard requires you to find commonalities between four different texts and communicate what you have learnt from evaluating these connections. Your four texts can be a variety of written, verbal, visual or oral texts and require you to select them yourself - meaning that you have a lot of control in picking what interests you. The final product can be completed in a variety of forms from a written report, to an oral presentation to a visual essay. We encourage students to work in ways that suit them.

AS 3.9: This internal standard requires students to closely view and evaluate the use of film techniques in a visual text. This forces students to think critically about the craft of the director and how they communicate ideas deliberately in their creations. Again, students have the opportunity to present this information in a variety of ways.

Assessment
All assessments are NCEA achievement standards and students will be offered up to 17 credits.


Students will have submitted all of their L2 English assessments in order to take this course.

Teacher in Charge: Ms A. Sullivan.

Change often occurs due to just one individual being brave enough to use their voice to make change. Consider the likes of Kate Sheppard, Greta Thunberg, Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousafzai. All have used, or still do use, their voice to be the influence they want to see in the world. In this course we will use literature to help us look at the impact such individuals and groups have had in their society, how they made their change and motivate students to feel inspired to use their voices and writing just as effectively.

Students will use a comprehensive understanding of appropriate nutrition to investigate a nutritional issue and a food related ethical dilemma affecting the well-being of New Zealanders. Students will then use their understanding of nutrition and critical thinking in relation to well-being and societal justice in two external exams, one examining the influences of media messages on food choices and the other evaluating conflicting nutritional information.

Students can expect to participate in practical food experiences once a fortnight.

Food and Nutrition (Home Economics) is an approved subject for University Entrance. Students will undertake 4 Achievement Standards and will attempt a minimum of 19 credits. The standards the students enter will be negotiated with the teacher.

Access to a device is an advantage when completing the theory component of this course.

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Starr.

With teenagers getting messages from a variety of sources about how to look, how to behave and what they should be doing it is now more important than ever to critically think about the messages they are given and the impact this can have on their wellbeing. 

In this course we will look at how a person’s health can be affected physically, mentally, socially and spiritually through the choices they make in terms of how they live their lives and how to make positive change. We will look at the communication and decision making skills needed to navigate major issues around mental health and resilience, relationships and sexuality education and drugs and look at actions that could be taken to make themselves, communities and society fairer and more inclusive. This will be done through varied practical and in class activities. The ability to work well both individually and as part of a group is important.

In PE we don’t just talk about it, we will do it! 

We move, because movement is absolutely fundamental to our wellbeing. In Level 1 Physical Education we will explore the incredible adaptations that happen to the body and mind when we move. We will investigate questions such as:

  • Are great athletes born or made?

  • What's the difference between their bodies and mine?

  • How do they train their minds and bodies? 

  • What is mental toughness? Are we born with it?

  • What makes a champion team instead of a team of champions? 

  • Do I have what it takes?

As well as learning about the fascinating human body, you will challenge your own mind and body in a wide range of practical activities. Do you have what it takes to challenge yourself to achieve difficult things like those elite athletes? Can you curl a football? Can you replicate a Tik Tok balance, do a backflip or help the team to victory? Let's find out. 

Strong people lift others up - with an emphasis on teamwork and relating positively to others we will create an environment where everyone is encouraged to challenge themselves and be the best they can be - not just talk about it.

He oranga ngākau, he pikinga waiora. Positive feelings in your heart will raise your sense of self-worth.

MUSIC - Full Year

L1MUS
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Pitt.

The following topics are covered in the Level 1 Music course:

Developing composing and performing skills

Ākonga will develop music composition skills and performance skills for their instrument (voice is an instrument). 

They will learn the different kaupapa around live performance such as stagecraft, delivery, engagement, respect, ownership of environment, and different components of diverse performance settings (eg kapa haka, the Sāsā, small intimate shows, and festival settings).

Ākonga will also look at different ways of working through feelings of nervousness related to performance, how to manage it, and even use it to their advantage. They will do this by performing during class time where others in the class give formative feedback and building up their confidence to then perform in assembly/prize-giving/outside of school at an appropriate showcase. 

Performances can be recorded for peer review processes.


Ideas for creating music that leads into performance

Looking at chord progressions, Ākonga will start with a few chords and build their melodic ideas on top of them. Once the foundations of their piece are set, they will then explore ideas of what to layer over the top. This could be aspects like melody, rhythm, lyrics, harmony, MIDI, different instrumental sounds, and song structures. 

Ākonga can also learn the basics of using DAW software to create the working template.

They will work independently or in pairs according to the rest of the composition brief provided by the kaiako.

The next step is for ākonga to arrange their compositions for a group or solo. Each student can do this with their own composition and can orchestrate it for a live setting. Ākonga will then be exposed to online shows like NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, the BBC Live Series and “Like A Version”, which can be accessed through streaming platforms, where artists perform their music and the music of others in a small and sometimes completely different setting. This will inform ākonga that even successful artists have restrictions and sometimes have to think outside the box to deliver their own material to the best of their ability and with what is available to them.


Developing music skills through music activities

Ākonga can engage in a wide range of activities that will build their music skills in different areas. Activities could include improvising, arranging, aural activities such as playing by ear, reproducing melodies, harmonies, rhythms, effects on a DAW, or transcribing, running singing rehearsals or creating harmonies for a melody.


Developing recording and mixing skills through music activities

Ākonga can engage in a wide range of recording activities through Loop recording studio. Activities include, effects on a DAW, mixing, P.A set up, compression and studio effects. This unit will count for 2 Unit Standard credits.

GEOGRAPHY 21F - Full Year

GEO21F
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr C. Stoddart.

Recommended Prior Learning

Students with reasonable NCEA Level 1 grades including a minimum of 10 Literacy credits may study Geography at this level even if they have not studied it before. Students taking Geography for the first time must see the teacher in charge before being granted entry.


Geography is the study of the Earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and the taiao (environments). It is, simply, about the world in which we live. A geographer seeks to interpret the world and how it changes over time. Ākonga learn to explain the relationships and connections between people and the taiao. Essentially the subject of geography is unique in bridging the social sciences (human geography) with the natural sciences (physical geography). This course covers several aspects of research based on the South Island high country, New Zealand climate patterns and global patterns. The course also involves interpreting resources to apply geographic concepts and skills and studying the impact of freedom camping in New Zealand.

Study and assessments include:

  1. Demonstrate geographic understanding of a large natural environment

  2. Apply geography concepts and skills to demonstrate understanding of a given environment

  3. Conduct geographic research with guidance

  4. Explain aspects of a contemporary New Zealand geographic issue

  5. Explain aspects of a geographic topic at a global scale

Future possibilities 

Geography continues into Year 13 as a Level 3 subject. Beyond that it can be studied at University as a Science or Arts subject. Geography graduates work across the private sector, including data mapping companies, power companies, global logistics and transport companies, public sector organisations, city and regional councils and science-based crown entities. Geography is an excellent general education subject suitable for most careers.

GEOGRAPHY - Full Year

L1GEO
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms T. Sapwell.

What is where, why there and why care?

Have you ever wondered why cities are located where they are? Why earthquakes don’t happen everywhere in the world? 

Taking an Aotearoa New Zealand based approach to geography, we will compare what we know about New Zealand to other world destinations, investigating the significance of awa (rivers) to communities while developing our research and mapping skills.

Extreme Natural Events happen locally and globally and are occurring more frequently. We will examine the causes and consequences of these events that can be catastrophic but also allow us to rebuild in a sustainable way for the future.

Why do humans live where they do? Why do communities grow or shrink and what impact does this have on the taio (environment).

“The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves,” (Cicero).

History studies not only what happened in the past, but how and why these stories and events continue to be told over time. Level 1 History students will examine primary source evidence, consider why certain historical events are significant and explore different perspectives on events.  The contexts for the year are:

  • New Zealand at War - New Zealand’s involvement in World War II overseas as well as how World War II impacted New Zealand at home.

  • Black Civil Rights - the campaign to end segregation in the United States from the 1950s to the 1970s

Change often occurs due to just one individual being brave enough to use their voice to make change. Consider the likes of Kate Sheppard, Greta Thunberg, Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousafzai. All have used, or still do use, their voice to be the influence they want to see in the world. In this course we will use literature to help us look at the impact such individuals and groups have had in their society, how they made their change and motivate students to feel inspired to use their voices and writing just as effectively.
