ABOUT THIS COURSE
ABOUT THIS COURSE
Level 3 English at Ormiston Senior College is a demanding and content-rich subject that moves far beyond simple snapshots and filters. If you loved Level 2, get ready for a rigorous deep dive! This course requires you to develop expert-level technical and practical skill knowledge in shooting and digital editing. The real challenge is the conceptual and creative thinking needed: you'll pick a personal theme, research established artists, and use this knowledge to systematically build your own sophisticated body of work—the external portfolio. It’s an independent investigation where your drive and critical engagement are key to achieving a high standard and mastering technical control.

Career Pathways
Career Pathways
The skills developed in Level 3 English are highly valuable because they combine critical thinking with advanced communication. This course builds the ability to analyse complex ideas, form well-structured arguments, and express them clearly in both written and oral forms.
These skills are essential for a wide range of careers, including journalism, law, education, media, marketing, and the creative industries. Roles in these fields require strong communication, the ability to interpret different perspectives, and the confidence to present ideas effectively to an audience.
Level 3 English is also increasingly important for all tertiary courses, as some degrees at the University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology and the University of Otago now require at least 14 Level 3 credits in English. This highlights the English curriculum area's role in preparing students for academic success at the tertiary level.
Ultimately, the most valuable outcome of this course is the ability to think critically and communicate complex ideas clearly—skills that are essential for both university and the modern workplace
