Level 3 Pasifika Studies
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms J. Fry.
Pasifika Studies aims to develop a student’s Pasifika language, critical thinking about different aspects of Pasifika culture(s) as well as performance and presentation skills.
Our Pasifika Studies course works as a village: students from Years 11-13 have class together. Students do not need to be fluent in a Pasifika language. Level 3 graded Pacific Studies Unit Standards are on offer, including an investigation and a presentation standard. A dance standard can be part of the course.
Students have 3 standards (15 credits total) available to them in the Pasifika Studies course. Learning Languages standards in presentation skills (internal), listening skills (external) and reading skills (external) will be available for those who are building their Pasifika language capability at home and in the community.
Not a UE approved subject - but this depends on standards selected.
Recommended Prior Learning
Preferably an ability in a Pasifika language and/or an interest in Pasifika culture in the Pacific Islands and globally.
