CAR3 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: J. Komene
In Whakairo, at this level the student will be working towards gaining Level Three credits for the National Certificate of Educational Achievement.
The aim as in the previous year’s course is to provide an environment where students can use the skills developed and explore themes that are of personal significance. The student will be encouraged to produce a body of work that contains research, drawings and carved work. The student will be given greater freedom to pursue a pathway through Whakairo that is significant to them. There will be a process of negotiation and review that supports the student’s investigations.
