The course structure is designed to promote independent work habits and develop knowledge and skills chosen by our ākonga. This course is divided into four units: one stand-alone unit (skateboard), two connected external standards (workbook and folio panel) & one optional unit of work (visual inquiry) all exploring a central theme - Ko wai au? (Who am I?):
