Level 1 Commerce
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Hoare, Mr E. Brown.
Commerce is the new Level 1 subject designed to introduce the world of business to ākonga. It introduces the purpose of organizations, how they are set up and how they go about their day-to-day operations. The ability to identify how organizations are different, and the detailed study of Māori practices in commerce are key in how decisions are made.
The focus upon decision making in organizations is where ākonga develop the skills required in the real world. The ability to consider, select and justify organizational options is a key element of the course.
Commerce is a balanced course which allows ākonga with both academic and vocational skills to succeed. Ākonga apply their learning in a challenging and business-like way which gives them an experience which can be taken into their future careers.
Commerce is a key subject for those who wish to go onto study Accounting, Business Studies, Enterprise, Economics, Hospitality or Tourism.
