Week 9 - Term 2 - 2023

 Kaua e mate wheke mate ururoa

Don't die like a octopus, die like a hammerhead shark

Octopus are renown for their lack of resistance when being captured, however a hammerhead shark will fight bitterly to the end, to the point that when you fillet it fresh, its meat quivers. Commonly used to encourage someone not to give up, no matter how hard the struggle is.

We now have clarification regarding course endorsement - this is 14 credits for a course and must include one external. They also state that "kaiako are free to design NCEA courses using achievement standards from across two or more subjects"
