Level 1 Innovative Horticulture
11INH Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs K. Sutherland.
Recommended Prior LearningNone necessary. However, the modular nature of these courses requires you to be able to work independently so self-management and a responsible attitude are essential.
Level 1 Innovative Horticulture students can select from academic Achievement Standards or work-based Unit Standards, or a combination of both. A typical programme includes 16-20 credits, aimed at aligning with each student's interests and goals.
On a given day students could be growing plants from seed, writing reports and presentations, attending a field trip, conducting scientific experiments, and learning about safe use of garden tools and maintenance.
This course is delivered via a mix of ONLINE learning, practical work and teaching. It is best suited to students who are confident, motivated, and able to self-manage an independent learning programme.
