Palmerston North Girls’ High School
Level 3 Samoan
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Hamling.
This course is through correspondence ONLY and the requirement is that students are native speakers of Samoan.
Samoan Language (Gagana Samoa) is spoken by nearly half a million people worldwide, including 85 thousand people in New Zealand, making it the third most widely spoken language in New Zealand (after English and te reo Māori). Whether ākonga are learning Samoan to strengthen their identity as Samoan, to communicate with family members, for career enhancement, or another reason, this subject will provide them with an opportunity to build on prior learning and to develop problem-solving, risk-taking and communication skills.
Delivery Modes: This course is accessed through the online learning environment, My Te Kura. Ākonga will be required to make and submit audio and/or video recordings, so a microphone and camera or mobile device are essential.
You will need to have a conversation with Mrs Hamling before you are approved to do this course.
What should I have already done?
NCEA Level 2 Samoan course or equivalent, and have a Samoan language background.
Course Contribution
No cost if certain criteria met, otherwise there will be a cost to the student.
