11ECE

Year 11 Early Childhood Education

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs A. Hassett.

Early Childhood Education

For second language students a minimum of 5.5 IELTS is a prerequisite.
Selection to be confirmed by HOD and Yr 11 Academic Dean
Students must have a genuine interest in a potential career in the education of young children.


Early Childhood Education (ECE) students will discover the amazing journey of change, development and growth that takes place from being an infant to becoming a young child. The development stages of infants through to young children, and the ‘attachments’ of children to others, are concepts to which students will be introduced in this course.  As children grow their needs change, and topics of hygiene, health and wellbeing, and nutrition are also covered. The Unit Standards covered in Yr 11 are chosen to provide a solid foundation for ECE in Yr 12 and Yr 13

The 2024 course will contribute towards NCEA Level 2.  

A babysitting course is also being planned for 2024. This is a day-long course, and on completion students will receive a certificate.

The standards listed below are the likely standards to be taken. However, this may change depending on the make-up of the class and availability of resources for the unit standards. Any changes that have to be made will modify the credits available.

Pathway

The Unit Standards covered in Year 11 are chosen so that over a 3 year period the students cover a wide range of topics and learning that are considered important for going into further Early Childhood Education studies or being able to engage in child care or nanny services.
