Qualifications

QUALIFICATIONS

All learning leads towards gaining a National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). Subjects in Year 9 and 10 build the foundations for learning in Year 11 and success in gaining qualifications. All subjects at Level 1, 2 and 3 in the senior school are assessed against achievement or unit standards which are worth credits. Year 10 students have the opportunity to sit the NCEA co-requisites of literacy (reading and writing) and numeracy.

All NCEA certificates may be endorsed with Merit or with Excellence. You need at least 50 credits at Merit or at Excellence at the same level to earn endorsed certificates.

Subject endorsement is also possible if you achieve 14 credits or more with Merit or Excellence. These must be a combination of internal and external credits.
