YEAR 13 DEANS’ LETTER
Year 13 students return to school for a variety of reasons. Some have
the goal of achieving University Entrance, while others are working on
their NCEA Level 1, 2 or 3. Regardless, promotion to Year 13 subjects
will depend on meeting Year 12 course criteria as outlined within the Curriculum Guide.
There are no compulsory subjects at Year 13. To achieve NCEA Level 3 students must gain at least 80 credits from
either Achievement Standards or Unit Standards based subjects. 60 of the 80 credits must be at Level 3 or above
(any of these can be carried over from previous years), plus 20 credits from Level 2 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).
Selected students (usually Prefects) will take five subjects and a study period. Others will choose five subjects
and have Supported Study where they attend junior classes for three terms. 80% attendance during that time
will result in a study period at the discretion of the Year 13 Deans.
Attendance is a significant contributing factor in ensuring academic success. The Ministry of Education
indicates that those students who attend at least 76% of classes are more likely to complete course and NCEA
qualifications competently. University Entrance under NCEA is as follows:
• 10 credits at Level 1 or above in Mathematics
• 5 credits at Level 2 or above in Reading
• 5 credits at Level 2 or above in Writing
• 14 credits at Level 3 or above in three Approved Subjects
• NCEA Level 3
Approved Subjects for University Entrance:
• Accounting • Digital Technologies • Japanese • Sculpture (Practical Art)
• Agriculture and • Drama • Korean • Spanish
Horticulture • Earth and Space Science • Latin • Social Studies
• Biology • Economics • Mathematics • Statistics
• Business Studies • Education for • Media Studies • Technology

• Design and Visual • Home Economics • Samoan
Communication • Indonesian • Science
It is possible to study a small number of subjects through FarNet and TeKura (The Correspondence School)
where students have a clash of subjects or a subject is not available at WBHS. This must be discussed with the
Deans and the FarNet/TeKura Coordinator in H6. A very small number of these subjects may alternatively be
taken at WGHS but students need to discuss this with the Deans and also email the Principal with their request.
Confirmation of these subjects occurs in the next year.
During subject selection, guidance is available from your Whanau Teachers, Deans, Subject Teachers, and
Careers.
