Here is the overview and summary for our NCEA English programs for Term 3:

Film Study: The Dark Horse

This term, we’re focusing on our film unit, "Our Voices + Our Stories," with a deep dive into The Dark Horse running from Week 1 through Week 10. The primary academic focus is on refining essay practice for the upcoming external exams (91925). Alongside this, it is crucial that we prioritize finishing, completing, or resubmitting any outstanding internal assessments for 91924 and 91926 to ensure our students hit their 10-credit goal. They are also preparing for their final Derived Grade Exam that will take place in Week 10 of Term 3.

Our Term 3 program is split between finalizing internal assessments and preparing for the upcoming external exam cycle.

The aim is to get these internal assessments locked in to reach our 13-credit target. They are also preparing for their final Derived Grade Exam that will take place in Week 10 of Term 3.
