Level 2 Te Awakairangi

Te Awakairangi - Maori name for the Hutt Valley - The most precious waterway

Based in the Hutt Valley and Greater Wellington Region, Te Awakairangi is a course designed to make global issues local. Using the knowledge of our local place we will look back in history, and into the future, to understand where it is we find ourselves now.

We are offering a course designed to appeal to socially conscious students who want to better understand their place in the world, develop a sense of social responsibility, comprehend biodiversity and our ecological footprint, and grasp differing perspectives on local and global issues.

Te Awakairangi is a course designed to help students gain their University Entrance credits. We offer up to 21 credits throughout the year, some of which will be either Reading and or Writing literacy credits. Students have the option of entering external assessments. They will make a decision, with the support of their teacher, about the standards they wish to attempt.

This course is taught by English teachers but it is NOT a traditional English course. You can take this course instead of, or in addition to, a standard English course. 

If you are looking to attend Auckland University, you need to gain a minimum of 17 English credits at Level 2 and/or 3. You will not be able to get these credits through Te Awakairangi.
