The Curriculum broadens at senior level to include a
number of courses which offer students opportunities – PRINCIPAL
to follow specific vocational interests. The Gateway
and Academy programmes are also available to
senior students. They allow students to gain practical
experience and assessment in the workplace. They
also assist students to decide on their preferred type
of employment and, in some cases, for employers to
look at them as prospective employees. Many of these
students go on to be apprentices.
The selection of subjects is an important process, one
that requires the input of parents, caregivers and staff
alike. We encourage you and your son to take the
time to examine carefully the information contained
in this curriculum guide.
Subject Selection Evening for students and parents/
caregivers to discuss subject selection for 2022 will be
held at 5.30 – 7.30pm on Wednesday 4 August 2021, in
the School Hall.YEAR 11 DEANS’ LETTER
Students at this year level will study six subjects. English and Mathematics are
compulsory and students choose four other option subjects. A Science is strongly
recommended as one of these four subjects, in order to keep future study options open.
Subjects offer either Level 1 Achievement Standard credits and/or Unit Standard credits; which count
towards the National Certificate of Education Achievement (NCEA) at Level 1. Credits from Achievement
Standards will come from internal and external assessments of conventional school subjects. Credits
from Unit Standards will come from internal assessment of standards developed by industry and specific
subject teachers.
A supported study class will operate at Year 11 for a small number of selected students who have
identified learning needs or need assistance to manage the demands of NCEA assessments. These
students will have one fewer option class than other Year 11s. Supported Study Time will be co-ordinated
and supervised by a teacher. Entry to this class is dependent on Dean and HoD Inclusive Learning
approval.
To achieve NCEA Level 1, students must attain a minimum of 80 credits. Of these, 10 credits must be
in Level 1 Numeracy and 10 credits in Literacy.
Through their studies, students may also attain:
• NCEA Level 1 Certificate Endorsed with either Excellence or Merit. To do this, a student must
achieve 50 credits at Excellence (for Excellence) or 50 credits at either Merit or Excellence (for Merit).
• Individual subject Endorsement. This requires a student to achieve 14 or more credits at Merit or
Excellence level in a single subject. At least 3 credits must come from externally assessed standards
and 3 from internally assessed standards; the exception to this is Physical Education.
Students who are clear in their career choices should select subjects that are prerequisites for their
pathway to tertiary study and employment. During subject selection, guidance is available from your
Whānau Teachers, Deans, Subject Teachers, and Careers. If no clear choice has been made, boys are
advised to seek a broad education. Boys are also encouraged to select subjects they excel at or enjoy.
