    •   or, return to the same Year 13 subject and study for the award of scholarship;

    •   or, select a different NCEA Level 3 subject.

1. University Papers

A student will be allowed to apply for admission to university papers whilst still at school if:

    •    the student has 80 Level 2 credits in up to five university approved subjects;

    •    the student has achieved at least 18 credits in NCEA level 3;

    •    the student has achieved the literacy and numeracy requirements for University Entrance;

    •    the school confirms the student is expected to gain University Entrance without difficulty and that she shows how
         the proposed university papers fit with her proposed academic plans;

    •    the school confirms that she demonstrates the ability to manage her own learning and will effectively operate in
         an on-line “stream” learning environment; and

    •    the school confirms that the student participates widely in school activities beyond the classroom.

Students will be approved into Massey papers on an individual basis at the discretion of the University. Enrolment will
be confirmed in late January.

This will be provided through Massey University Distance Learning programme via the “Stream online learning
environment”. Students’ timetables will assign them to a university course. They will study in the PNGHS library.
Subject expertise is available through Massey. A laptop computer is required.

Each paper attracts a tertiary fee of approximately $550 to be confirmed each year by Massey University and paid
through our school’s accounts. On provision of evidence that a student has passed a subject, the school will reimburse
$200 per paper.

2. Scholarship

The award of scholarship is a prestigious award offered as a Level 4 qualification. Some students will enter for
scholarship concurrently with NCEA Level 3. For many students, having the time dedicated to preparing for the
scholarship examination, will be a preferred option.

With this in mind, students could return to the subject in which they already have satisfied the NCEA Level 3 requirements
and focus on preparing for Scholarship.

3. NCEA Level 3 Option

Students may prefer to take up a different NCEA Level 3 subject providing them with six UE approved subjects over their
time at school. Subjects studied at NCEA Level 3 over two years all count towards a Level 3 endorsement.

Students who wish to discuss or clarify this opportunity, should contact the Deputy Principal who oversees the acceleration
programme.

Gifted and Talented (Extension)

The aim of the scheme is to provide a formal high achievement programme at the Year 9 to Year 13 levels. We provide
opportunities for gifted and talented students across a range of learning areas. Extension opportunities are also
provided within subject areas. Students in the Pūhoro STEM programme for Māori students are automatically in the
Pūmanawa programme.

Students may opt in or be referred by staff, parents or peers. Students enter and leave the programme as their needs
demand and their commitments allow. Parents and students are also informed of our Extension programme through our
school web page and Update newsletter.

Students meet once a term with the Extension Co-ordinator to set goals, report on their progress and review their
progress in their other subjects and their school attendance.

Competitions

A number of subject departments organise and coach students for participation in regional, national and international
competitions. These competitions are advertised in class as well as in the daily notices.

Instrumental Music Tuition (Extension)

Instrumental music tuition is available for individuals, usually in small groups, for 20 to 30 minutes per lesson. Students
come out of their regular classes to attend music lessons on a rotational basis so that students do not always miss the
same subject. Application forms will be available from outside the music office from the beginning of the year.

Learning Assistance

A range of assistance is available for students who require it through our Te Whare Poutama Achievement Centre (for-
merly Learning Support). Students are referred by Deans to Te Whare Poutama Achievement Centre for assessment
and development of an education plan. Any changes are timetabled and parents are informed.

Classes are provided for English Language (English for speakers of other languages). These classes are taught at three
different levels dependent on the student’s English capability.

In Year 11, students who need additional assistance with their learning will be invited to join one or more of NCEA Level
1 English Studies, Mathematics Studies and Science 1 subjects.

Tutoring

Subject departments provide peer-tutoring opportunities for students at lunchtime. Often regular weekly sessions are
scheduled and advertised in the daily notices. All students can make good use of this service to improve their achieve-
ment outcomes.

Tutoring is also held from 2.30pm - 3.30pm on Wednesday afternoons in the Library. A google form is emailed to all
students each term and is available on the school website.

                                                                                                                         9
NATIONAL CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT

Students in Years 11, 12, 13 and some in Year 9 and 10 will work towards NCEA (National Certificate of Educational
Achievement). Students are assessed against achievement standards and/or unit standards, each contributing credits
towards NCEA. For a unit standard, an Achieved or Not Achieved are usually the outcomes. For an achievement stand-
ard, a Not Achieved, Achieved, Merit or Excellence are the possible outcomes.

To gain NCEA at each level a student needs at least the following:
     Level 1		             - 80 credits, 10 must be in Numeracy and 10 in Literacy.
				 Literacy credits will be available from a range of different subjects, not solely English.
     Level 2		             - 80 credits of which 60 must be at level two and NCEA Level 1 Literacy and Numeracy
				 requirements must be met.
     Level 3		             - 80 credits of which 60 must be at level three and NCEA Level 1 Literacy and
				 Numeracy requirements must be met.
     University Entrance - details are on the next page.

NCEA Level 2 is promoted nationally as the minimum qualification recommended for school leavers. Final assessments
are either internal – assessed by the teacher at school at various times during the year, or external – assessed by exam-
ination in November. Because of the ongoing nature of assessments, it is important for students to be at school every
day.

Some subjects also offer unit standards, which lead to a wide range of National Certificates, and concurrently contribute
to NCEA. Work towards a National Certificate can be started at secondary school and, if necessary, completed at a
tertiary institution. The subject information in this booklet will tell you which unit standards are being offered.

Certificate Endorsement

If a student gains 50 credits at the Excellence level, their NCEA will be endorsed with Excellence. Likewise, if a student
gains 50 credits at the Merit level (or Merit and Excellence) their NCEA will be endorsed with Merit.

Credits earned can count towards an endorsement over more than one year and more than one NCEA level. However,
they must be gained at the level of the certificate or above. For example, Level 2 credits will count towards endorsement
of a Level 1 NCEA, but Level 1 credits will not count towards endorsement of a Level 2 NCEA.

Subject Endorsement

A subject endorsement provides recognition for a student who performed exceptionally well in an individual subject.
The key objective of a subject endorsement is to motivate students to achieve their potential in one or more subjects.
Students will gain an endorsement for a subject, if, in a single school year, they achieve:
•   14 or more credits at either Merit or Excellence for a subject.
•   At least 3 of these credits must be from externally assessed standards and 3 credits from internally assessed stand-
    ards. (Note: this condition does not apply to Physical Education, or Level 3 Visual Arts).

Vocational Pathway Endorsement

Students will also be given advice on using the Youth Guarantee website to design a course which leads to a Vocational
Pathway endorsement to their NCEA qualification.

Each standard indicates whether literacy or numeracy credits are available for Level 1 NCEA. This is listed under the
number of the standard. Students require a minimum of 10 numeracy and 10 literacy credits at Level 1 or higher to be
awarded the L1 NCEA qualification.

For UE, students require 10 literacy credits, 5 reading and 5 writing at Level 2 or Level 3. This is indicated by:

R = reading credits
W = writing credits
R, W = reading OR writing credits (not both).

Footnote: The university approved subjects are listed on the Year 13 Subjects Page and marked on the curriculum
planner.

                                                                                                                            11
UNIVERSITY SELECTION
     •    University entrance and other selection criteria is applied by the particular university.
For example, some university programmes select students:

     •     after one semester e.g. Bachelor Veterinary Science
     •     after one year e.g. Medicine, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy
     •     by using a guaranteed entry score (GES) [some universities refer to it as a Rank Score]
     •     by using passes in specific subject Achievement Standards
     •     by using an interview, a portfolio or an audition

HOW IS A GUARANTEED ENTRY SCORE (GES) CALCULATED?

Students who achieve a guaranteed entry score/rank score have guaranteed or preferential status when applying for
specific degrees. If the university has places available, students with UE but not GES may be awarded enrolment.

     •     Calculation of a GES is based on your 80 best credits in university approved subjects at Level 3 NCEA over a
           maximum of 2 years
     •     A maximum of 24 credits may count from each Level 3 subject from the university approved list.
     •     Points are generated based on grades i.e. Excellence = 4 points, Merit = 3 points, Achieved = 2 points.

WORKING OUT THE GES SCORE

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT CREDITS ARE REQUIRED FOR PROGRAMME ADMISSION?

University websites – many have advice on recommended subjects and the number of NCEA Level 3 credits required
for programme admission. For example:

1.   Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Auckland University requires GES of 260 with 17 external Level 3 credits in
     Calculus and 16 external Level 3 credits in Physics.
2.   Calculus is required for many university Engineering degrees for example, 14 credits at NCEA Level 3 for Canter-
     bury and 17 external credits at NCEA Level 3 for Auckland.
3.   While not specifically required, some subjects are most beneficial as a foundation for many university courses.
4    At Auckland University courses such as Architectural Studies, Commerce, Health Sciences and Property require
     credits from Table A and Table B subjects. Table A are generally ‘language rich’ subjects ie English, Geography,
     Classics, Te Reo Māori, etc. Consult the website for current entry requirements.
