Lindisfarne College’s English Department courses are based on the National English Curriculum Document. It is a well-rounded programme that implements a wide range of vital and interesting learning outcomes for students. One advantage of Lindisfarne College being a Years 7-13 College is that the Intermediate School English programme can be easily linked with the Junior and Senior School English programmes to result in a more ‘seamless’ approach in both content and assessment strategies. Essential skills are repackaged into three strands. Oral, Written and Visual Language. These strands are further divided into Oral Language: Listening and Speaking, Written Language: Reading, Writing, and Visual Language: Viewing and Presenting. The curriculum statement sets out the teaching and learning of these skills in a 1 - 8 Level system covering Primary school to Year 13. We endeavour at Lindisfarne to offer a structured progression of skill development from our Year 7-13, so each boy is equipped with a range of English-related skills by the time he leaves

Year 11 Mathematics

L1MATH
The course for NCEA Level 1 builds on the strands studied in the Year 9 and Year 10 Syllabi. (Number, Measurement, Geometry, Algebra and Statistics). NCEA targets basic knowledge and skill as prerequisites for a credit rating and an ability to apply knowledge coupled with process skills leading to merit and excellence. The major difference with NCEA lies in the three internal assessments, thus removing the reliance on just one examination to determine an individual’s success. All students will have one opportunity at an internal reassessment task - dates for the reassessments are in the course outline. During the year, students will have practise assessments in the externally assessed topics. The results of these, while being important for reports, cannot be supplied with credit towards the NCEA

Topics:

  • Product design and prototype manufacture
  • Woods, metals and plastics: Properties, uses and processing
  • Making ethical decisions while developing Technology
  • Failure of Technology and how it can be prevented

Skills:

  • Safe and accurate use of key workshop tools and techniques
  • Practising independence through a self directed project
  • Following a Design Process to produce a ‘fit for purpose‘ product
  • Introduction to computer aided design and manufacture

Ākonga build on their previous experience by learning additional tools, techniques, and machine features, with a stronger focus on accuracy and repeatability. They then begin the project that is more complex to produce, requiring them to use both their newly taught skills and the design process to customise a design. The project also requires students to build upon their knowledge of computer-controlled equipment. They explore a broader range of materials and apply this understanding to their project choices. The term ends with an evaluation of their design, considering whether it is fit for purpose.

Students apply their creativity, problem-solving, and prototyping skills in a self-directed project. While supported with guidance, each student responds to the same need or opportunity in their own way, developing an individual brief, conducting research, generating ideas, and producing a final prototype. Quick 3D modelling techniques help them test and refine their concepts before working with final materials. This project allows ākonga to practice their independent thinking and drive; essential skills for future study in the subject.

This half-year course (one semester) covers the foundation knowledge and skills required in the senior Multi-Materials courses.
