NCEA Level 1 Commerce
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Carla Lambert.
In order to understand society and find solutions to problems, Commerce uses and explores accounting, economic, and commercial concepts and models. The knowledge, abilities, and values that ākonga need to successfully navigate and engage in the economic world will be developed in this subject. They will study the decision-making processes used by those who participate in the economy and examine how these processes affect sustainability.
Ākonga will discover that choosing decisions is required by a lack of resources and that choices are influenced by a range of cultural viewpoints and lenses. Learning and evaluation will focus on Māori, Pacific peoples, and various business models from whānau and organisational contexts.
