How to understand NCEA Not sure how NCEA works? Find out how credits add up to qualifications, background to NCEA, how the system works, and what you can do as a parent? What is NCEA?

Students' work is assessed internally and externally

NCEA stands for National Certificate of Educational Achievement. NCEA is the national qualification system for New Zealand's senior secondary school students. It is made up of three certificates at Levels 1, 2 and 3 and usually studied in Years 11, 12 and 13. NCEA qualifications are part of the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF).

What is the NZQF? The NZQF is a framework of nationally endorsed standards and qualifications. It is made up of 10 levels, with Level 1 the most basic qualifications and Level 10 the most complex. Qualifications are assigned to a level on the scale depending on the difficulty of the skills or knowledge learned. Qualifications fit into the framework as follows:

Levels 1-7 are national certificates. Levels 5-7 are national diplomas. Levels 7-10 are national degrees and postgraduate qualifications.

How does NCEA fit into the New Zealand Qualifications Framework? NCEA is part of the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF). NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3 are Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the NZQF. Secondary school students generally study at these levels. Levels 4 and above are usually studied after finishing school.

How do NCEA levels compare with School C etc.? NCEA Level 1 is usually studied in Year 11. It replaces School Certificate. NCEA Level 2 is usually studied in Year 12. It replaces Sixth Form Certificate. NCEA Level 3 is usually studied in Year 13. It replaces Bursary. The New Zealand Scholarship exams are usually studied in Year 13 but they are not part of NCEA. The Scholarship is a

financial reward for top-performing students who intend to enter tertiary study. The Scholarship does not contribute towards a qualification.

Why was NCEA introduced? Under the old system, students’ results were often scaled so only a certain number of students could pass. So some

students would receive a fail grade regardless of how they performed. NCEA measures each student’s learning against set standards, instead of comparing students and ranking them.

Not all skills and knowledge can be assessed using tests and exams (e.g. fluency in foreign languages, competency in conducting science experiments). NCEA provides a range of assessment methods that are appropriate to the subject being assessed.


How is NCEA different from the old system? NCEA allows students to work towards other qualifications on the New Zealand qualifications Framework at the same time as they are working toward their NCEA. For example, a student studying materials technology at school might also be working on the National Certificate in Elementary Construction Skills. So, they can earn NCEA credits and a national certificate at the same time.

How is work assessed? Students’ work is either externally or internally assessed.

External assessment means that students sit for an external exam that is set and marked by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).

Most external assessment will involve a national exam at the end of the year. Internal assessment refers to work that is set and marked by the school (e.g. essays, tests, experiments), but the marking

is checked by independent moderators from the NZQA to make sure all schools are assessing work to the national standard.

How the system works What are credits? Each Achievement Standard and Unit Standard is worth a certain number of credits. When a student achieves a standard, they earn the amount of credits that standard is worth. A single Achievement Standard is usually worth three to four credits. A single school subject usually has five to eight Achievement Standards. Depending on the school, the usual number of credits needed per subject is 18 to 25.

How many credits are needed to earn NCEA? To gain NCEA Level 1:

Achieve 80 credits at any level (Level 1, 2 or 3). This must include a minimum of 10 credits in literacy and 10 in numeracy.

To gain NCEA Level 2:

Achieve a minimum of 60 credits at Level 2 or above; and 20 credits at any level. This must include a minimum of 10 credits in literacy and 10 in numeracy.

To gain NCEA Level 3:

Achieve a minimum of 60 credits at Level 3 or above; and 20 credits at Level 2 or above. This must include a minimum of 10 credits in literacy and 10 in numeracy.

To gain University Entrance

Achieve NCEA Level 3 including 14 Credits in 3 approved subjects (please see www.nzqa.govt.nz for list) 10 Credits in Level 1 Numeracy 10 Credits in Level 2 Literacy (5 reading, 5 writing)

The credits needed to achieve the three NCEA levels.

What are standards? What’s the difference between Achievement Standards (AS) and Unit Standards (US)?

Standards describe particular skills or knowledge within an area of study (e.g. English or Maths). Students gain NCEA and other qualifications by working towards a combination of Achievement Standards and Unit Standards.

Achievement Standards are gained from studying traditional curriculum subjects. Depending on their performance, students may gain Achievement Standards with either ‘Achieved’, ‘Achieved with Merit’ or ‘Achieved with Excellence ’.

Unit Standards are gained from studying towards traditional curriculum subjects as well as vocational subject areas (e.g. tourism or hairdressing). Students are awarded Unit Standards on an ‘Achieved’ (pass) or ‘Not Achieved’ (fail) basis.

What are ‘Merit’ and ‘Excellence’ Endorsements?

Merit and Excellence endorsements are ways to recognise students who have achieved outstanding results. You can gain a Merit or Excellence endorsement for individual Achievement Standards, or for an individual NCEA course or certificate.

What is needed to gain a ‘Merit’ or ‘Excellence’ grade for an Achievement Standard?

This will vary depending on the subject. However, as a general guide:

‘Achieved’ means that the student has gained the achievement standard by demonstrating elementary level skills or knowledge

‘Achieved with Merit’ means that the student has gained the achievement standard by demonstrating intermediate level skills or knowledge

‘Achieved with Excellence’ means that the student has demonstrated highly developed skills or knowledge.

Here are some examples of achievement criteria for some of the Achievement Standards for Biology, History and Graphics at various NCEA levels:


Achieved Achieved with Merit Achieved with Excellence

Level 2 biology

Describes biological concepts and processes

Explains biological concepts and processes

Discusses biological concepts and processes

Level 3 history

Demonstrates an understanding of an historical idea

Demonstrates an informed understanding of an historical idea

Demonstrates an informed and perceptive understanding of an historical idea

Level 3 graphics

Plans and produces a presentation to communicate design ideas

Plans and produces an effective presentation to communicate design ideas

Plans and produces an effective, high quality presentation to communicate design ideas

What is needed to gain a ‘Merit’ or ‘Excellence’ grade for a course?

To gain a ‘Merit’ or ‘Excellence’ grade for an individual course or subject, you need to achieve 14 or more merit or Excellence credits in that course within a single year.

For example, to gain ‘NCEA Level 2 English with Excellence’, you would have to gain enough Level 2 English Achievement Standards at Excellence level to add up to 14 or more credits.

At least 3 of these credits need to be from externally assessed Achievement Standards, and 3 credits from internally assessed Achievement Standards.

What is needed to gain a ‘Merit’ or ‘Excellence’ grade for an NCEA certificate?

To gain a ‘Merit’ or ‘Excellence’ grade for an NCEA certificate you need to gain 50 or more credits at Merit or Excellence in one particular NCEA level. For example, to gain ‘NCEA Level 2 with Excellence ’, you would have to gain enough Level 2 Achievement Standards at Excellence level to add up to 50 or more credits.

For more information on NCEA levels, certificates and Merit and Excellence standards, visit the NZQA website.

NZQA website - information on NCEA levels and certificates www.nzqa.govt.nz

I still don’t understand how NCEA actually works! How do I put all this together?

A student will typically begin working for their NCEA in their third year of secondary school (Year 11).

They will no longer be awarded a single grade for a subject. Instead, each subject is now divided into pieces of skills and knowledge called standards (Unit Standards or Achievement Standards). The standards clearly set out what a student needs to be able to demonstrate to achieve that particular standard.

Each standard has a certain number of credits. When a student receives an ‘Achieved’ for a standard, they will have earned credits towards their NCEA. (See above for how many credits are needed to pass NCEA Levels 1, 2, and 3, and to enter university.)

This system allows a student to work towards an industry qualification as well as NCEA while still at school, as the credits they earn for an NCEA level may also be counted towards a national certificate of the same level.

Choosing school subjects Choose subjects you enjoy as you will be motivated to learn Here are some tips to help you make a decision about what school subjects to choose.

Know your options Here at Southland Boys’ High School we offer a number of different options such as Technology, Catering, Graphics and Languages just to name a few. Some of the options you can take may vary depending on your timetable.

Think about your abilities and interests at school What subjects are you good at or not so good at? What does this tell you about yourself? Are you a good writer, good with numbers, a practical person? Which subjects have you enjoyed studying? Which do you dislike and why?

Keep your career options open Most people change their minds about what they want to do in the future. Your interests and abilities will change over time, or you might find out about new careers that you had never heard of before.

If you’re unsure about what job you want to do, try to study a wide range of subjects at school. This will give you more options later on.

CHOOSING YOUR SUBJECTS Consider: The subjects you are studying this year and your achievements so far. Talk to subject teachers if you have

doubts about your ability to cope with the work

Note any compulsory subjects

Select the optional subjects that interest you and you are good at

Your possible career. Check out requirements and discuss these with Careers and Guidance staff

Most scientific or engineering careers must include Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry

Few science careers require Physics without Chemistry; or Biology without Chemistry

Mathematics and English are needed for most careers

Employers are more often interested in your results and attitude to work rather than the actual subjects chosen

Try to avoid choosing subjects for the wrong reason. It would be foolish to give too much weight to:

- Teachers you like or dislike - The subjects your friends are planning to take - Subjects you think might help you pass examination, but are not in your future career interests

NOTE

1) Your choice of subject will be checked by senior staff. If considered necessary, or where subject choice and career are at variance, an interview will be arranged.

2) Subject availability is dependent each year upon staffing, student numbers and funding. Where

possible we try to meet the needs of each student.


Choosing school subjects

Use this plan to help you decide which subjects to take in your next school year.

Step 1: Work out what subjects you enjoy:

Subjects I like doing now

Subjects I’m interested in doing next year that I haven’t already studied

Subjects that include activities I like doing outside of school eg, playing music, helping people, thinking creatively

Step 2: Work out what subjects you are good at

Subjects I am strongest in

Subjects others say I’m good at


Step 3: Find out what subjects you need for your career ideas

Explore the Jobs database on the Careers New Zealand website to find out what subjects you need for your

career ideas.

Career ideas Subjects I need

Looking for career ideas?

Use the interactive tools on the Careers New Zealand website to help you get some career ideas:

Subject Matcher – job ideas based on subjects you enjoy

Jobs by Interest – jobs that relate to areas of work you are interested in

CareerQuest – job ideas based on your interests

Skill Matcher – job ideas based on your skills

Still unsure about what career would suit you?

It’s OK if you don’t know what you want to do in the future. Studying a broad range of subjects will keep your

career options open. Keeping up with English, Maths and at least one Science subject is a good place to start.

Talk it over

Talk about your subject choices with your parents and whānau, teachers and careers advisers.

Talk to Careers New Zealand advisers if you need more help.

Placement in Level 2 is at the discretion of the school

You will be required to study six subjects

English is highly recommended (refer to University Entrance requirements)

ENTRY TO LEVEL 3

To gain entry to Level 3 you must have completed your Level 2 course ie: you must have attained 16 credits or more in every subject in your Level 2 course.

- All students take 5 subjects - Any subject can be selected, if it can be timetabled, staffed and there are

sufficient numbers - Boys aiming for tertiary study should study 5 subjects in Year 13 - Details on University Entrance requirements can be found on page 5

For more information please go to the Careers Services website: www.careers.govt.nz and click on the parents, family and whānau link…

Here you will find interactive tools that will help you and your son with subject choices, where each subject can lead to and much more.


Other Programmes Alternative Pathways The Alternative Pathways course is by invitation only. Students will study at their own pace in a homeroom under close teacher guidance. Students will work towards finishing NCEA Level 1 and obtaining NCEA Level 2 through Numeracy, Literacy, Technology, Core Generic Models (such as communication, life skills, work and employment skills) and Health and Physical Wellbeing. Gateway Y12 & Y13 – Level 2 and Level 3 The Gateway programme is run by the Careers Department. It is designed for students who wish to carry out some work or tertiary training while remaining at school. Students selected for this course will spend some of their time in the work force completing Unit Standards relevant to the industry they are in and time at school completing standards such as reading and writing standards, numeracy standards, and transition to work standards. The Gateway course is by application and interview with the Careers team. Application information will be advertised in the SBHS the Daily Notices. There are limited places for 2015. This course cannot be chosen as an option. University Scholarship The Scholarship programme is separate from NCEA. Scholarships are entered through separate written examinations and/or submissions of work for external assessment. A University Scholarship recognises outstanding achievement in at least three subjects. Scholarships are awarded nationally in the following areas:

o Top all round scholars - performance across five subjects o Top Māori scholar - male and female o Top Pasifika scholar - male and female o New Zealand scholar - across three subjects o Top subject scholar - top achiever per subject


OPTION CHOICE INFORMATION What is Southland Boys' High School policy? We believe all students can gain NCEA qualifications. The challenge is to get a certificate at the highest possible level. Obviously employers will be more impressed with a certificate made up of Excellence and Merit level passes than all Achieved level passes. We have provided a range of courses that will enable all students to pass Level 1 and give enough flexibility to enable all students to strive for Excellence. How do students select subjects? The subjects available in 2015 are on the option list on page 16 and pages 17-48 A full year of English You must then choose fivesubjects. Read through the subject descriptions contained in this booklet. Use the Option Choice sheet on the back page to work out your subjects.

All option subjects are dependent on numbers and staffing

and assistance Students will have Health and Physical Wellbeing and Technology as their option subjects Students will complete an S.I.T. STAR course in the second half of the year Students will begin some work exploration Students who show a high level of ability may be allocated other options e.g. Art, Music, DTW

at the discretion of Head of Faculty. In the classroom the students will complete a course made up of Numeracy, Literacy, Science, Physical Education and Employment Skills to enable them to achieve NCEA Level 1.

Alternate Pathways Year 11

Pre–requisite: A limited number of invited students that have been contacted by the school. Generally from year 10 Homeroom. This course is assessed using: Unit Standards (US) plus selected Achievement Standards Course information: The course has been specially prepared for students who will benefit from working in a small supportive environment that is targeted to their specific learning needs. Course outline: Students will study at their own pace in a Homeroom situation under close teacher guidance and assistance. Students will work towards obtaining NCEA Level 1 through Numeracy, Literacy, Technology, Core Generic Modules (such as communication, life skills, work and employment skills,) and Health and Physical Wellbeing. Students will complete at least one S.I.T. STAR Course (carpentry, joinery, automotive, etc.) Students will begin work exploration through a brief work placement. At the discretion of the Head of Faculty, certain students, depending upon their interest and previous efforts in the subject, may be given an option (e.g. design technology engineering, design technology wood, design technology graphics, music, art, catering). Students will be expected to have almost obtained NCEA Level 1 by the end of the year.


NET NZ Pre Requisite: Students selecting a Net NZ eLearning course will require and interview and approval from Senior Management. Course Information: This is an online course provided for motivated, independent students who may have timetable clashes or wish to undertake study in subjects not offered in 2015. Note: Not all courses listed will be offered in 2015. Confirmation will be made in early February 2015. If you are interested in including a NET NZ course you must see Miss Sasaki for further information and an application form. NOTE: Course will not be confirmed until early 2015 and is subject to availability. Students must attend an interview with Senior Management. What is Net NZ? NetNZ is a community of secondary and area schools in Canterbury, Otago and Southland that engage in eLearning to better meet the needs of students and teachers. How does it work? Each of our schools offers at least one course with a teacher(s) which then allows them to enrol students in courses offered by NetNZ and schools across the Virtual Learning Network (NZ). Generally a course consists of 8-15 students who are taught by an eTeacher (who will be from a participating school) using an approach that blends face to face style video conference tutorials with a mix of online and paper based learning. You would typically find a course consists of 5-7 different schools throughout the country. Much of the learning will be accessed through an online space where students can receive work, download assignments, and interact with teacher and other students. Each participating school also provides an eDean whose role is to support the students on site and provide an important line of communication between teacher and student. This means students are not left on their own to cope if they are having difficulties. Our commitment • All courses will be aligned with the New Zealand curriculum and NZQA requirements • All schools will provide an on-site support person (eDean) for students • All courses will be taught by a qualified and registered teacher from a school in New Zealand • All course will provide engaging, flexible learning using digital tools and resources blended with video

conference tutorials Why take an online course? • If the course/subject you want to take is not available at your own school • If the subject you want to take clashes with another timetabled class • If you want to develop your ability to self-manage your learning • If you want to experience a course that is fully online and enables you to interact with students across

the country


What students need to consider Learning online often requires a change of thinking from students who are used to a structured lesson by lesson day. You will need to be willing to learn how to manage your own time effectively and to direct your leaning more than in a traditional classroom. With this comes a lot more flexibility, especially if you are taking more than one online course (some students have up to three), but also more responsibility for your learning. Students need to be able to take the initiative and ask the teacher, the eDean and other students for help when they need it. Learning online does not mean the absence of a teacher. If fact, because of the small number of students in a course, e Teachers can often provide more feedback than in a traditional classroom, but this feedback is not instant and students need to go into the programme understanding this.
