Vocational Pathways The Vocational Pathways provide a clear framework for vocational options, support better programme design

and careers advice, and improve the links between education and employment.

The Vocational Pathways are the product of a partnership between government agencies, the industry training

sector, secondary and tertiary education representatives, and industry and employer representatives.

There are six pathways which represent new ways to structure and achieve NCEA Level 2 and provide a more

coherent framework for foundation vocational education and training. The pathways will help students to

develop their own individual education plan, so they are better informed and able to make better choices to

meet their goals.

Vocational Pathways Award

If your NCEA Level 2 includes enough credits from recommended standards, and you meet the NCEA literacy

and numeracy requirement, you can have one of the six industries awarded as your Vocational Pathway on

your NZQA Record of Achievement. This will be a real advantage when you get out there and look for work and

training opportunities in a specific sector.

Vocational Profile The Vocational Profile is a visual graph which will show learner achievement against the six Vocational

Pathways. Learners will be able to identify their progress and identify where they need to raise their level of

achievement when planning their courses for the following year and check that their course selections provide

the pathways they need to achieve their goals.

Getting Started Start your journey at www.youthguarantee.net.nz

1. Work out which standards you have achieved.

2. Enter your standards into the Profile Builder.

3. View your Vocational Profile - The bar graph shows the industry sectors your standards work towards

and the progress you are making.

4. Check out your Job Opportunities - You can find information on the type of jobs available in the 6

industry sectors and where the job opportunities are.

Volcanics Online Learning Community

The schools on the map above are members of the Volcanics eLearning Community. Volcanics schools who

work together to provide high quality learning opportunities based around the New Zealand Curriculum. We

work with other similar clusters nationally to provide a wide range of curriculum subjects.

As a member of Volcanics, we are able to provide students with access to course taught by teachers from

other schools nationally via online learning.

The students selecting an Online Learning option will have an eDean who is able to help and support students.

The eDean for 2019 is Mr Richard Wallis.

Benefits There are multiple benefits to enrolling through Volcanics in an online course.

• Students are able to take courses that are not currently offered at their school.

• Timetable clashes can be resolved.

• A personalised approach can be used to meet students’ needs.

• Year 10 students are welcome to enrol in NCEA Level One courses as an extension opportunity.

• Successful online learners are also very well prepared for tertiary study.

ONLINE LEARNING

10

How it works

Each Online Learning course will have one or more of the following learning components:

• Paper based (workbooks, textbooks and notes)

• An online component accessed through an online learning environment such as Canvas, Google

Classroom, Google Docs.

• Video conferencing (VC), or web based conferencing using Zoom or Google Hangouts

Access to a personal device, laptop or chromebook, is recommended. Personal headphones with a

microphone is highly recommended.

All NCEA courses offer NZQA Achievement Standards. Communication is maintained through video-

conferencing and a combination of tools in the online learning environments such as email, Google

Communities, Google Drive, Google Sites, learning management systems, Skype and texts.

Acceptance into online courses will also be determined by a recommendation that the student is sufficiently

self-motivated and has the ability to work with less direct teacher supervision than would normally be the case

in a face to face class.

Please note

This is the list of courses offered in 2018. Most of the courses will be offered next year and we hope to have

additional options. Course confirmation happens by the end of Term 4.

Acceptance into an online course is dependent upon available resources, the level of student enrolment and

the timing of the enrolment. Sometimes students may be on a waiting list for a short time.

Completion of an enrolment form is not a guarantee of acceptance into your chosen course.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I select an on-line course on the KAMAR portal?

You select “ELEA” on the portal, then Mr Wallis will see you and you will be asked to complete an

application form. The course will be confirmed early in 2019.

2. Who will be my teacher?

If you are enrolled in an online course, your eTeacher will be from another school in NZ.

3. How often will I see my teacher?

You will have an hour-long video or web conferencing class each week, and your eTeacher will

provide an online classroom (like a website) in which you will work 3-4 hours each week.

4. How will I communicate or get work to and from my teacher?

You will be able to communicate regularly with your eTeacher through emails, online forums, online

forums, online chats, news forums, discussion boards and Skype and text messages.

5. How do I receive work or send work to my eTeacher?

You will be able to upload assignments, assessments, tests and any other work into your online

classroom. You can also email your work, share it e.g. through Google Docs, Dropbox or simply post

it. For work sent online, your eTeacher will mark your work online and send it back the same way.

6. Do I need access to a computer or device at home?

You will require access during school time to a computer or a device (e.g. tablet, laptop, phone) and

the internet, so that you can work independently in your ‘online environment / online classroom.’ If

you have the internet at home, this is an added bonus.

7. What happens if I have another class at that time?

Video-conference lessons take precedence. You will have to make up for the lost time by working

with your teacher from school on what you have missed in their lesson. This is why you need to be

self-motivated.

8. Who can apply for an online class?

You may apply through Mr Wallis to be enrolled in an online course, if the subject/course you wish to

study is:

• Not currently offered at school

• Clashes with another timetabled class

• Offered through a tertiary organisation

Students who apply must:

• Be self-motivated and well organised

• Have suitable prior leaning for the course they are applying for.

SENIOR SCHOOL INFORMATION

13

Senior School Information Unit Standards are indicated where applicable, all other standards are Achievement Standards.

Compulsory Subjects Year 11 students are automatically placed into English and Maths; these do not need to be selected on the

portal. All Year 11 students must take one or both of 11 Science or 11 Agriculture.

Year 12 students are automatically placed into an English course; this does not need to be selected on the

portal. If studying Maths at Year 12 please select 12MAT.

Frequently Asked Questions 1. How do I qualify for a subject?

Each student’s performance this year will be the major factor in approval for entry into courses in 2018.

Entry criteria are outlined in this booklet. The subject pathway outlines (at the beginning of each learning

area) lets you see where a course leads in later years. Final entry to subjects for Year 12 & 13 is

completed at the course confirmation day at the beginning of 2019. This is in consultation with the HOD

or Teacher in Charge. The important question in approving courses is students meeting the

pre–requisites and whether the student has a reasonable chance of achieving academic success. Some

subjects currently offered may not be available, if too few students opt to take them.

2. How many subjects do I have to take?

• Year 11 take English, Mathematics and Science and/or Agriculture/Horticulture. Students can

select three more courses.

• Year 12 take an English course and five other courses.

• Year 13 are required to select five courses.

3. Can I choose any new subject at Level 2 or 3?

Success gained in one or more subjects this year may allow you to take a new subject. Carefully check

the entry criteria for each subject you are considering.

4. Can I take subjects at Level Three in Year 12?

This will apply to some of you who have already completed a Year 12 course. Taking subjects at a

higher level is possible only from having the pre–requisites and with the agreement of the HOD and

your Dean/SLT.

5. What about taking subjects at a lower level?

There is nothing to stop students working at Level 2 as a Year 13 student, for example, taking a

subject you are interested in at Level 2 or even Level 1. Just ensure that you have considered the

effect on your chances of achieving your Level 2 or 3 NCEA.

6. Can I take six subjects in Year 13?

Yes, in consultation with the Principal. Select your six subjects on the portal and then make an

appointment with the Principal.

7. What if I still don’t know what to choose?

There are plenty of people who can advise you. For details on courses at tertiary level (universities

and polytechnics), see Mrs Pottinger (Careers Advisor).

Recommended Device Specifications Wairarapa College has identified some devices which best fit the way we are using technology. Some subject

areas may use more specialised software applications which have additional requirements. For a device to be

a productive tool in class, it needs to be capable of running Microsoft Office 2016 – which all students will

receive free of charge during their time at Wairarapa College.

If you prefer to select your own device, please ensure that it is running Windows 10. For smoothest operation,

we also recommend at least 4GB of RAM and a battery that can last a whole day.

Microsoft Office is available for Mac, iPad and Android tablet users. However it doesn’t have the same

functionality as the Windows version; subsequently these devices are not recommended by the college. If you

select a device that does not meet these recommendations, the device may not perform in the way intended

by the classroom teacher and they may not be able to support the student as well in their learning.

Languages Through Te Kura (The Correspondence School) Students may study a language through Te Kura if they meet the following criteria:

• Ethnic reasons: if they have a cultural affinity such as a parent/grandparent of that ethnic group

• If they meet the Gifted Criteria. They must be in the top 5 percentile for their age group and testing

results must be provided to support this.

• If they transfer mid-year from another school and the language is not taught at Wairarapa College.

Whilst they may be enrolled at their chronological level, their level of the language will be assessed by Te Kura

and they may be provided with work at a different curriculum level.

Generally, there is a set of work that is required each fortnight assuming approximately 5 hours of study plus

homework per week. Students will be considered on their merits and must have a proven record of being able

to work independently and meet deadlines. Te Kura will withdraw their enrolment if they do not submit work

as outlined and they will not be eligible for re-enrolment until the following year.

A negotiated area to work is provided for the students, often in the Language Resource area.

Work is often online and students are expected to download digital material including listening exercises and

video material. They must also record oral material to email their Te Kura tutor.
