NCEA Level 1 Commerce
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr F. Paulse.
You will learn about the range and type of information skills required for effective money management. You will also have the opportunities to develop accounting skills.
Commerce is the use and exploration of Accounting, Economic, and Business concepts and models to make sense of society and solve problems. In this subject, ākonga will build the knowledge, skills, and values they need to navigate, and participate in, the economic world. They will learn how participants in the economic world make decisions, and they will analyse how these decisions impact on sustainability.
Ākonga will learn that decision making is necessitated by scarcity, and that decisions are informed by a variety of cultural perspectives and lenses. Learning and assessment will examine Māori, Pacific, and other approaches to commerce, and business models from whānau and organisation contexts.
