1ARALIT - Level 1 ARA Literacy
1ARALIT Course Description Recommended Prior LearningEntry to the course will be based on all results produced in Year 10 English and will be on the advice of each student's English teacher. Students may select this as a preferred option as an indicator of interest to their teachers.
Students in Ara classes are enrolled in the group of three courses: Literacy, Numeracy, and the combined Science / PE course.
This course is specifically designed for students who are yet to gain one or both of the Literacy co-requisite standards for reading and writing or who find mainstream English challenging for specific reasons. The Ara Literacy class is limited in size to allow for more one-to-one teaching and supported learning.
Learning will focus on real world contexts for reading, writing and communication appropriate to the workplace, training courses and apprenticeships. Students will develop reading and writing skills that will support them to confidently access their learning in all areas.
This course will not normally lead to a Year 12 English course. However, students may discuss requirements of this progression with the Head of English.
