Kaitaia College Curriculum Handbook 2016 Introduction He Whakataki Te tirohanga whakamua tēnei pukapuka matauranga mo nga tauira, nga matua hoki o Te Kura Tuarua o Kaitaia. This curriculum handbook is intended to provide students and parents with a comprehensive view of the Kaitaia College curriculum. Kaitaia College offers a diverse range of subjects that prepare students for a range of National Qualifications including National Certificate of Educational Achievement [NCEA] Levels 1, 2, and 3, and a variety of tertiary qualifications. It is important that students make good choices with regard to course selection. This book provides vital information to enable them to do this, as it contains pre-requisites to courses and outlines of where they might lead. It is wise to seek advice from specialist staff. Mrs. Mareea Paitai, the Careers Advisor, leads a team including Deans and Guidance Counsellors who are able to help with course planning. Specific information about a course is best obtained from the relevant Head of Learning Area or Teacher in Charge of the subject. Over the last few years there have been considerable changes to NCEA and consequently to the courses offered at Kaitaia College. For any course, if there are too few students, it may not proceed. Courses may also be modified in the new year to meet the needs of students who enrol then. This handbook is our ‘best endeavour’ to predict 2016. Universities and other tertiary institutions are constantly changing their entry requirements; for the institutions as a whole and for specific courses. As a school, we try to keep students up to date with information but the university’s own websites are the best source of information, and students and whānau should be accessing these. Please, students and whānau, study this book together. We encourage participation and input of parents and caregivers in their child’s future choices.

Careers If you have a particular career in mind you can get information on what subjects to take and at what levels to take them online, using the computers in the library or at home. Check out: www.careers.govt.nz Do not hesitate to see Mrs. Paitai, the Careers Advisor, if you have any questions regarding your future career. There is further information on careers in the careers section of this handbook. Current Year 10 Students If you have no career in mind, don’t panic. Most students do not make up their minds until much later. However, you should start thinking about what you might like to do. Look at the subjects you are interested in or are good at and discuss your strengths and weaknesses with your family. Check out the website. Option Selections When putting together your course for 2016: • Make sure you understand the entry requirements of all your subjects • Students who have not met these requirements will usually not gain entry into the course. If entry requirements are not met, you will have to study at a lower level. As a result, it has become very common for students to study at multiple levels (e.g. Three subjects at Level 2 and two at Level 1) • The school tries very hard to give you your first choice of subjects. For us to do so means we need definite information by the stated deadline. • Not completing your subject choice forms on the correct day may mean your choice of option is not available to you because the class is full or was cancelled due to small student numbers or unavailability of a specialist teacher. Years 11, 12, 13 in 2016 - Need additional help or guidance with your subject choice selection? • Ask your Dean: Year Year Year Year 10: 11: 12: 13: Mrs. Middleton Mr. Watson Mr. Walker Mr. Withiel • • • • Your Whānau Group Teacher Careers Advisor – Mrs. Paitai Scholarship/grant information - Mrs. Paitai or Mr. Withiel Check websites on page 20 in this book Page 3 Page 4 Subject Choice Timeline August August 2015: Curriculum Handbook issued to students September August 2015: Academic & Subject Choice Counselling Academic & Subject Choice Counselling This is an opportunity to speak to teaching staff about the subjects you may wish to take next year, and find out more about them and where they may lead.

It is the standard of achievement rather than the actual subjects that gain a student entry to the course of their choice. Of course, there are exceptions - usually with the science based career options, and these need to be researched before final decisions are made. The information found in A Guide to Academic Requirements for Tertiary Training Options (below) is a starting point to assist with decision-making about future options.

Careers Page 6 *For the list of Level 1, Level 2 and 3 standards that contribute to University Entrance requirements, please visit the NZQA website www.nzqa.govt.nz/ncea IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics STEM knowledge and skills are highly transferable across industries. With IT knowledge, for instance, you can work in sectors as diverse as manufacturing, professional, scientific and technical services, information media and telecommunications, financial services, and education and training. How do I start a STEM-based career? Demand for workers in many STEM occupations will grow. This is due to a variety of factors. These include a growing demand for engineers and architects as the construction sector recovers and the Canterbury rebuild takes place; a need for more food technologists and scientists as New Zealand’s food exports increase; and a need for more graduates with information science and technology skills, to meet the world’s increasing demand for smarter software and technology. New Zealand’s hardest to fill roles for 2015: 1. Skilled Trades 2. Technicians 3. Engineers 4. Sales Representatives 5. IT Personnel 7. Management/Executive (Management/Corporate) 8. Secretaries, Personal Assistants, Receptionists, Administrative Assistants and Office Support Staff 9. Doctors and other non-nursing Health Professionals 10. Drivers Careers Page 7 6. Accounting and Finance Staff Entry Requirements & Subject Recommendations for Tertiary Training and Study As long as a student has fulfilled the requirements of University Entrance many NZ university degrees can be undertaken with no specific school subjects. Study in such areas as Music, Fine Arts, Chemistry, Maths and Physics do require a sound background knowledge from school, but it would follow that a strong interest in these areas would precede degree level study anyway. Success in other tertiary study/training can be enhanced if a student has a related subject background, e.g. languages, computer science, accounting. Students are however sometimes caught out by the following approved Level 3 subject requirements from NZ universities: Law: 2-3 English rich subjects.* Check university websites Medicine/Dentistry: Otago and Auckland offer a combined total of three pathways into Medicine, with slightly differing subject requirements for each. Keep options open for all, take Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Maths (Calculus or Statistics), and an English rich subject. Physiotherapy/Pharmacy: (to keep paths open for Otago, Auckland University of Technology and Auckland universities) Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Maths (Calculus or Statistics) and an English rich subject* Vet Science: Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Statistics, English rich subject* Engineering: Calculus, Physics and Chemistry. Check university websites Architecture: (to keep paths open for Victoria and Auckland universities) Maths and/or Physics and an English rich subject* (excluding Social Studies) Health Related Professions : (e.g. Nurse, Occupational Therapist, Medical Radiation Technologist, Psychologist) Most universities prefer one or two Science/ Maths subjects. University of Auckland prefers all three science. *English rich subjects: English, Geography, History, Classical Studies, History of Art. Te Reo Māori, Te Reo Rangatira Check the specifics at: • www.careers.govt.nz (Jobs Database…[SELECT JOB]…How to Enter the Job) • with training providers • Career Advisor If you want to keep any of the above career options open, ensure you are aware of the school’s subject prerequisites to progress your studies each year through to higher levels. School leavers have several training/study pathways open to them. Assistance can be obtained from the Careers Advisor/Dean/HoLA/Careers NZ. Earn as you learn pathways Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force – all with subsidised university study schemes. See websites. Police – call 0800 NEWCOPS or visit their website. Apprenticeships: Talk to Ms. Flanagan. These contracts offer employment, practical training and theory components with a qualification gained at the end. See www.hgta.co.nz and http://www.skillz.org.nz/industry-training/ito-directory.html www.tec.govt.nz/ Industry Training Organisations: There are 14 NZ Industry Training Organisations (ITO) that oversee training/education within their respective fields. ITOs can be contacted for information of training, qualifications and jobs available in their industries. Industries not covered by an ITO include finance and banking, health, education, law, film and television.

Cadetships: This method of training is an emerging trend with employers whereby they offer employment plus sponsored study. Check out via an internet search e.g. www.futureintech.org.nz/ KPMG - Accounting, Opus - Civil Engineering. Unpaid work experience/Gateway placements can help secure future employment - speak with Ms. Flanagan. Study pathways Polytechnic/Wananga: There are 23 in NZ which offer a variety of qualifications from Certificates to Masters Degrees in practical and academic areas. Check entry criteria in relevant prospectus/website. Private training establishments (PTEs): Receive partial government funding if stringent regulations are met. Fees tend to be higher than those of polytechnics e.g. Sir George Seymour, Agriculture New Zealand, International Travel College, Evolution School of Beauty, Queenstown Resort College. Check entry criteria in relevant prospectus or website. Universities: There are eight in NZ. Entry requirements have been tightened due to capping of government funding and students should prepare accordingly.

Vocational Pathways provide new ways to achieve NCEA Level 2. The pathways show students how learning and achievement will be valued in the workplace. They also suggest the type of study options and job opportunities available as learners. Vocational Pathways The Vocational Pathways Profile is a visual graph (example above) that shows achievement against each of the Vocational Pathways - students can see their progress and check that their course selections provide the pathways they need to achieve their goals. A Vocational Pathways Award provides formal recognition of a student’s completion of a particular pathway. Students can receive more than one award if they complete more than one Vocational Pathway. Students can show how their achievement relates to the learning or skills training employers are seeking. A Vocational Pathways Award can be viewed by students when they log in to the learner page of the NZQA website at www.nzqa.govt.nz/learner-login. Students can also visit www.careers.govt.nz or www.youthguarantee.net. nz for tools to help plan their future study and work options. Careers Page 10 The Vocational Pathways are a tool that provide a clear framework for vocational options, linking education decisions and future employment aspirations to six broad sectors of industry: • Construction and Infrastructure • Primary Industries • Service Industries • Manufacturing and Technology • Social and Community Services • Creative Industries Construction & Infrastructure Vocational Pathways The ‘dots’ in the following table show the level (or levels) of qualification usually Check out the job profiles on www.careers.govt.nz, or talk to your careers advisor to find out more. associated with the role.

Most NCEA subjects assessed are a combination of internal assessment (by the school) and external assessment (by examination or outside marking of portfolios), with “credits” earned going towards the NCEA qualification. Knowledge and skills will be assessed using “Achievement Standards” with results being recognised at four levels: • Not achieved • Achieved • Achieved with Merit • Achieved with Excellence Courses that offer “Unit Standards” are also credited towards NCEA at Level 1, 2 and 3. These standards are all internally assessed, with most Unit Standards results being recognised at two levels: • Not Achieved • Achieved NCEA is intended to act as a learning goal and to encourage lifelong learning. Students will start to earn credits at college and will continue to build up their credits with a tertiary provider or in the workplace. Course Endorsement - Merit or Excellence Obtained if 14 Merit and/or Excellence (3 internal + 3 external + 8 others) credits are achieved in a designated course. Level Endorsement - Merit or Excellence Obtained if 50 Merit and/or Excellence credits are achieved across courses. NCEA Level 1 (Year 11) Awarded when 80 Level 1 credits are earned. This must include: • 10 credits in the specified standards that count toward literacy • 10 credits in specific standards that count toward numeracy NCEA Level 2 (Year 12) Awarded when 80 credits are earned - with at least 60 at Level 2 + Level 1 Literacy and Numeracy NCEA Level 3 (Year 13) Awarded when 80 credits are earned - with at least 60 at Level 3, plus 20 from Level 2 or higher, + Level 1 Literacy and Numeracy University Entrance Level 3 but must have 3 university approved subjects with a minimum of 14 credits in each subject, + Level 1 Numeracy and UE Literacy New Zealand Scholarship New Zealand Scholarship is a separate award from NCEA, and is assessed by way of external assessment only. The assessments are separate from the Level 3 assessments. A New Zealand Scholarship is awarded if a student achieves the scholarship standard in 3 subjects. Students can also gain awards in individual subjects. See www.nzqa.govt.nz for more information. NCEA Guide App NZQA has launched a new mobile App called NCEA guide written for parents, whānau and employers. The App will provide quick and easy access to key information about NCEA. Parents and whānau will be able to access simple content about how NCEA works and how they can support their children studying NCEA. No individual student results or progress information is available through this App. The NCEA guide App is free to download from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Distance Education Distance Education occurs when students and teachers are physically separate from one another during instruction and learning periods. Distance Learning Distance education, also known as “online learning and e-learning” refers to any learning that is undertaken by students requiring them to have a teacher or tutor from outside our school. There are currently two avenues for distance education for our students. One is through the FarNet Online Learning Community and the other one is the traditional correspondence school. We prefer to offer the FarNet option to students as it has proven to be more engaging for the learner. How does it work? Students referred to as e-students are connected to their class through a video conference bridge where they can see both their teacher and the other students in their class from schools right throughout New Zealand. Through the weekly video-conferencing session, along with the wide range of digital resources now available, students can interact with their teacher and other students. Throughout the rest of the week students work on their own on the wide range of resources, but can contact their e-teacher for assistance or extra tutorials. Mr Harrison as the e-dean provides the pastoral care of the e-students at Kaitaia FarNet belongs to the New Zealand Virtual Learning Network Community (NZVLNC) which means our students have access to qualified teachers in a wide range of curriculum areas from all over New Zealand. Courses Offered through Distance Education There are a wide range of courses available. They can be found on the Learning Exchange on the Virtual Learning Network - http://pol.vln. school.nz/. The course outline and pre-requisites can be found here. The next step is to speak to the e-dean - Mr Harrison. Why do we need Online Learning? Where we are able to, your child will have a teacher from our school, but to ensure that your child’s learning needs are met, online learning is an excellent alternative. Some reasons why your child may need to learn through distance learning: • Small class numbers at Kaitaia College in a subject • A subject is not offered at Kaitaia College • There is no qualified teacher in that subject or level • A timetable clash • Student Choice Weekly Video Conference Classes Is online learning suitable for everyone? E-students will be scheduled in a weekly class with their teacher (e-teacher) where they will be able to see their teacher and the other students in that class through the use of video conferencing. The e-teacher will provide an internet-based online environment where resources are made available, forums set up where discussions can take place, homework can be downloaded and assessments can be uploaded. Students will no longer need to wait for their resources to arrive in the mail. Students will have this online class on their timetable, so they will have an option line where they will be required to work independently, or some supervision may be needed, depending on the student and school. Students will need access to the internet and a device during this option line and the school will ensure this is made available. It is an advantage but not essential for students to have access to the internet after school hours. Our research and observations clearly indicates that this style of learning does not suit everyone. In order for distance learning to be successful, students must: • Be able to work independently and to take responsibility of their own learning • Attend school regularly • Commit to attend the weekly video conference classes • Communicate with the e-teacher and e-dean • Meet the pre-requisites as stated in the course outlines • Gain approval from their school through the e-dean List of courses available - You can take a look through the “Learning Exchange” at what courses were available in 2015. The 2016 list will depend on the demand. http://pol.vln.school.nz Feel free to contact any of the following people - Mr. Harrison wharrison@kaitaiacollege.school.nz Mrs. Riley jriley@kaitaiacollege.school.nz or Carolyn Alexander-Bennett (e-Principal Farnet) Carolyn.bennett@farnet.schoolzone.net.nz Page 25 Page 24 26 NCEA Level 3 NCEA Level 2 NCEA Level 1 Kaitaia College Curriculum Overview Year 13 English English Mathematics Mathematics Science Science Social Sciences Health & PE L3 ENG L3 ENP 13 ENG L3 MAC L3 MAS L3 CHE L3 PHY L3 BIO 13 FTP L3 ECO L3 HIS L3 GEO L3 TOR L3 FPY L3 CLS L3 PEX L3 PED L3 HEA English English English Maths Maths Chemistry Physics Biology Food & Trees Production Economics History Geography Tourism Future Focus Classical Studies Physical Physical Education Education Health in Society Practical with Calculus with Statistics Year 12 These subjects can lead to any Social Science Subject L2 ENG English L2 ENP English Practical 12 ENG English L2 MAT Maths with Calculus L2 MAS 12 VMA Maths with Statistics Maths L2 CHE Chemistry L2 PHY Physics L2 BIO Biology 12 SCP L2 FTP Science Food & Trees Production Practical Vocational L2 ECO L2 HIS L2 GEO 12 TOR L2 FPY L2 PEX L2 PED L2 HEA Economics History Geography Tourism Future Focus Adventure Education Sport & Leisure Studies Health in Society Year 9 Year 10 Year 11 These subjects can lead to any Social Science Subject L1 ENG L1 ENP English English Practical L1 MAX L1 MAT L1 MAP L1 SCX L1 SCI L1 PS L1 HOR L1 ECO L1 HIS L1 GEO L1 PED L1 HEA Maths Maths Maths Science Science Science Horticulture Economics History Geography Physical Education Health Extension Practical English Mathematics English Mathematics Extension Science Practical Horticulture Business Studies Science This information must be viewed with individual subject information and flow charts.

The main difference between the courses is the method of assessment and the pace of the class. • L2ENG (English) leads to the Level 3 English courses. L2ENG helps prepare students for either tertiary education or employment. N.B. From 2016, the University of Auckland will have additional criteria for entry. See Page 36 for details. • L2ENP (English Practical) leads to L3ENP. All standards are internally assessed. This course focuses on the practical application of English and helps to prepare students for the demands of the workforce. It does not enable students to gain UE Literacy. Students who gain entry into this course have the option of taking L2FPY as an alternative if they wish. The decision to replace L2ENP with L2FPY must be made in consultation with the English HoLA. Students also have the option of taking both of these courses if they meet the entry requirements. • 12ENG (English) leads to L2ENG and L2ENP. It is for Year 12 students who require a second year to complete their Level 1 English course. Courses in Mathematics There are three distinct and quite separate courses. • L2MAT (Mathematics with Calculus) This course leads to L3MAC and L3MAS or both. • L2MAS (Mathematics with Statistics) This course leads only to L3MAS. • 12VMA (Vocational Mathematics) This course is intended for students who are considering a Vocational Pathway in Construction or Manufacturing and Technology 6 SUBJECTS Students select subject combinations that make up a full course. These can be all Level 2 subjects or a combination of Level 1 and 2 subjects. The subjects to choose from are found in the Subject Information section of this Senior Curriculum Handbook or on the Kaitaia College website: www.kaitaiacollege.school.nz/downloads/2016 Curriculum Handbook Most NCEA Level 2 subjects are a mixture of internal and external assessment. You will need to consider the following when choosing your course of study in Year 12: • your academic achievement • your educational goals and • your ability Course selection this year is very important as it leads to Year 13 and future employment tertiary training opportunities. If you intend going on to Year 13, you must complete an outline of your proposed Year 13 course. Your Level 2 results are important as these are often used as part of the selection process by universities, polytechnics, employers and scholarship/grant applications.

Subject & Course Pathways & Entry Pathways The courses offered by each department are shown on the pages that follow. The flow diagram shows what courses are offered at Levels 1, 2, and 3. • Main Pathway • Alternative Pathway Entry to Level 1 subjects Entry to Level 2 subjects Entry to Level 3 subjects The class teacher and HoLA will place students in a course based upon their achievement. These decisions will be confirmed or altered using student achievement in the November Junior Examinations or assessments. The degree of difficulty in Level 2 subjects calls for prerequisite achievement in Level 1. Students will be provisionally accepted into courses and this will be confirmed by the student’s final results e.g. by getting 12 credits in a particular subject. The degree of difficulty in Level 3 subjects calls for prerequisite achievement in Level 2; as a consequence, most Level 3 courses have pre-requisites. Entry is based on progress to date and is confirmed by the student’s final results. Some subjects specify achieving in a particular achievement standard, or even a specified grade in a particular standard. Where a completely inappropriate choice has been made, the Careers Advisor/year level Dean will speak with that student. Students will be provisionally accepted into courses and this will be confirmed by the student’s final results e.g. by getting 12 credits in a particular subject. In exceptional cases, students can apply to the HoLA for entry. Prerequisites These are the recommended minimum levels of achievement you need to enter that course e.g. 14 credits These prerequisites are based on our experience; we believe that students who do not meet the prerequisites will have difficulty coping in that subject.

In many of our senior classes the goal is to deliver industrial qualifications to the students. This means that students need to be aware of, and comply with, safety requirements. I am concerned that many of the students are presenting inappropriately dressed. The school does have available safety glasses and ear muffs for use in the workshop, but students need to attend wearing sturdy, fully-enclosed footwear. Loose-fitting clothing, loose long hair, hanging jewellery or taonga are a potential hazard, (especially around machinery) and need to be removed or secured. Long shorts or trousers are the most appropriate clothing for a workshop. Teachers have the authority to exclude students from the class who are unsafely dressed or to not allow them to do practical work. Parents, please support these important programmes by ensuring that your young person is appropriately dressed for their course of study.
