Year+13+Tourism

__ Level 3 Tourism __

Congratulations on selecting Tourism this year. You have chosen to study New Zealand’s fastest growing employment sector, and the industry which contributes most to our export earnings. For almost all of you the future is likely to include travel both in New Zealand and overseas, and for many of you employment in this industry is a real possibility as one in ten New Zealanders are employed in Tourism.

__ The Course __ The intention is to build on what many of you covered last year in Level 2 Tourism, and to study the remaining units to complete the National Certificate in Tourism (Introductory Skills Level 2). For others the aim is to gain Level 3 NCEA credits. Work this year will cover; a) Demonstrating knowledge of The Pacific Island countries as a tourist destination b) Demonstrating knowledge of Australia as a tourist destination c) Describing and promoting a New Zealand tourist destination

__ To be eligible for Yr13 Tourism __ Those who did Level 2 previously should have passed the compulsory units of US24728, US24729, US24730, US24731, US24732, and either have Level 2 literacy or be enrolled in courses that will gain these credits.

__ If you have not studied Tourism previously but wish to achieve this certificate you will need to be enrolled in **BOTH** levels during the same year i.e. L2 and L3 Tourism. __ Students must also have attained: Level 1 numeracy and Level 2 literacy, or, be enrolled in courses that will gain these credits.

If you do not pass all units, you will not be awarded the National Certificate, but your Record of Learning will list all the units you were successful with. This will be of benefit to you for NCEA.

__ Qualifications __ During the year you will be assessed against a number of Unit Standards. In each case you will be told in advance when a piece of work is due for a Unit Standard, and, should you require it, you will be given more than one chance to meet the standard. As long as you ensure that you pay the required ‘hook-on’ fees to NZQA later in the year, any Unit Standards which you do meet will be shown on your ‘Record of Learning’.

In some cases assessments will be done as part of the normal class work programme, while at other times they will be done as an assignment task. It is important that you note the School's assessment policies – in particular those regarding late submissions of work and those on reassessment. In Tourism we will conform to KHS assessment policies, so be sure that you know them.

__ Fieldwork __ I would like to take a trip somewhere in 2014 but it is dependent on interest and numbers.

__ Stationery __
 * You will need to ensure that you have printing money available at **ALL** times throughout the year. Only hard copies of work are eligible to be marked.

ð Remember - your teacher is here to help you learn! If you have any concerns, or would like some help with Tourism this year, feel free to approach me. Let’s do our best to make this year useful and enjoyable!
