Academic Progression

ACADEMIC PROGRESSION

It is recommended that you need to achieve a complete NCEA certificate at each level in order to take a full programme at the next level.

• Year 12 students who have not achieved NCEA Level 1 may take a mixture of Level 1 and 2 subjects.
• Year 13 students who have not achieved NCEA Level 2 should not take 5 subjects at Level 3 but do a multi-level programme of learning.

You must check the entry requirements for each subject you want to take and ensure you achieve enough credits to continue it in the following year. 

Generally, you need to have achieved at least 10 credits in a subject to be allowed to study it at the next level. Some subjects do not have entry requirements. This means that you may choose these subjects without having studied them before. If you have any queries or concerns about entry to a subject you should discuss this with the contact person listed.
