Curriculum Guide 2021YEAR 12 DEANS’ LETTER
There are no compulsory subjects in Year 12 and progression/admission to Year 12 courses
depends on students meeting the criteria of each subject.
Students at this year level study six subjects. During this year students may also start working towards University
Entrance by obtaining the required 5 reading and 5 writing literacy credits in various language rich subjects.
However, we realise that university is not the pathway for all students. There are many courses, apprenticeships
and other trade related areas students can, and often do, move on to. These may involve work placements
throughout the year in areas of interest to ascertain suitability.
In order to achieve NCEA Level 2, students must gain at least 80 credits from either Achievement Standards or
Unit Standards. 60 of the 80 credits must be at Level 2 or above, plus 20 credits from Level 1 or above. The Level 1
literacy and numeracy requirements must also be met (a minimum of 10 literacy credits and 10 numeracy credits
at Level 1 or above).
Students may also have their NCEA Endorsed with either Excellence or Merit. To do this, they must achieve 50
credits at Excellence (for Excellence) or 50 credits at either Merit or Excellence (for Merit).
Individual subjects may also be Achieved with Endorsement. This requires that the student, in the subject,
and in that year, gains:
• 14 or more credits at Merit or Excellence
• At least 3 credits must come from externally assessed standards and 3 from internally assessed standards. This
does not apply to Physical Education, Religious Studies or Level 3 Visual Arts.
It is essential that students consider the qualification(s) they wish to gain during their secondary schooling.
Combinations of subjects may lead to NCEA Level 2 and National Certificates on the NZQA Qualification
Framework.
During subject selection, guidance is available from your Whanau Teachers, Deans, Subject Teachers, and
Careers.
