Choosing your course for 2017

The Year 13 Course Booklet contains a great deal of information for both students and parents regarding the range of subjects offered by Karamu High School in 2017 The process of choosing subjects for study in Year 13 requires very careful consideration. It is important to consider the reason you want to return to school. Other options such EIT, or work may be more appropriate. As you plan your course and choose your options check:

The entry criteria for each subject

Whether the subject offers Achievement Standards or Unit Standards

The number of Achievement Standard credits generated by the subject

The skills, content and understandings the subject will equip you with

Your interests and abilities

Your possible future career interests

The entry criteria required for your chosen career, university or other tertiary study

The skills you have and would like to develop

Ability + Interest + Occupation = Option Choice

Investigate carefully all

subjects you are interested in

Make your final option choice

keeping in mind the

formula above

If you know what you would like to become ask your

Teachers or Careers Advisor about the options you need to take

If you don’t know what you want to

become, keep your options open by

not specialising too soon

What do you enjoy?

Do you like the work or is it just the teacher you like? Don’t do a subject just to be

with friends.

If you are interested in a subject, you are more likely to do well

How good are you at a subject?

Assessment results will help you determine your ability

Discuss your ability level with

your teachers

Students may take only one Vocational Pathway Course. eg Early Childhood, Hospitality, Tourism, Automotive, Building Industry etc. Entry to these courses will require approval.

Level Three Courses

At Level Three students study:-

Five approved Level Three subjects (plus Study) OR

Four approved Level 3 subjects and one Level Three Vocational Pathway subject.

Students with less than four Level Three approved subjects must take 6 subjects and have an interview with Mrs Clark, Deputy Principal in Charge of Curriculum.

1. Students who have not achieved NCEA Level 2 must discuss their options with Mrs Clark before being placed in any Year 13 subject. 2. The pre-requisites for each course are outlined in this Senior Curriculum Handbook.

If you do not meet the entry criteria you will need to discuss the requirements with Mrs Clark before choosing the subject.

2a. Entry into subjects may require:

A number of credits and/or

Specific Achievement Standards and/or

Achieved or better in specific External Achievement Standards

Specific level of attainment in some Achievement Standards and/or

A literacy and /or numeracy requirement

3. English is not a compulsory subject for Level Three, but students should be aware that Auckland University requires 17 Level Two or Level Three English credits.

4. Students may choose no more than two subjects with Portfolios or similar long term

projects that require a lot of time eg Design, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture, DVC, Hard Materials, Soft Materials.

5. Unit Standard subjects do not quality for University Entrance and students should take

no more than one of these.

5a. Students who do not have 5 Reading and 5 Writing credits from Level Two must have a course that will give them University Entrance Literacy.

6. Students who have a genuine interest in the trades may be invited to join the Gateway

programme where they “work” alongside an employer for one day a week. Please discuss this option at your subject confirmation interview in January.

Please choose your subjects carefully as the Timetable structure and subjects offered

will be based on students choices made this year

The school may not be able to offer a subject if the numbers of students wishing to study it are too small.

Student’s final subject choice will be confirmed in January at their Subject Interview

Requirements for NCEA Level Three

NCEA LEVEL THREE – requires 80 or more credits of which 60 must be at Level Three or higher. 20 can be carried forward from Level Two

Credits may be gained through Achievement Standards or Vocational Pathways Unit Standards. Universities will not recognise Unit Standards

At NCEA Level Three students need to be able to work independently

Employers, Universities, Polytechnics and EIT will use the results of NCEA Level Three for course selection

Endorsement.

Students who gain 50 credits at Excellence will gain their NCEA with an Excellence Endorsement
