Careers Option Selections If you have a particular career in mind, you can get information on what subjects to take and at what levels to take them on-line using the computer in Careers or at home. Check out: www.careers.govt.nz When putting together your courses for 2015; Make sure you understand the entry requirements for all of your courses Students who have not met these requirements will usually not gain entry into the course. If entry requirements (prerequisites) are not met, you will have to study the course at a lower level. It is not unusual for students to study at multiple levels (e.g. Three courses at Level 2 and three at Level 1) The school tries very hard to give you your first choice of courses; however it is not possible to offer every single combination of courses. It is important to meet the deadline for your subject choices. If you do not submit your course choice form by the due date your choice of options may not be available. Do not hesitate to see the careers department if you have any questions. Current Year 10 Students If you don’t have a career in mind, don’t panic. Most students do not make up their minds till 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. Years 10, 11 and 12 in 2014 – Need additional help or guidance with your subject choice selection?

You may choose to enter the workforce directly (maybe with an apprenticeship), enrol for a tertiary course or have a Gap Year. Tertiary courses are offered by Universities, Polytechnics and Private Training Establishments. There are many tertiary training options with varying academic requirements for entry – there will be different entry criteria for Certificate, Diploma and Degree courses. It is important to research thoroughly before making a final decision. Some suggestions for research: Talk to one of the Career’s Team – Mrs Weeks (HOD), Ms Bickerstaffe, Mrs O’Leary Dreamcatcher – app.dreamcatcher.school.nz (access at school or from home) Websites of tertiary institutes Careers NZ website – www.careers.govt.nz \ 4 National Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA) NCEA LEVEL REQUIREMENTS Students will need to earn 80 credits and Literacy and Numeracy to be awarded an NCEA Level 1 qualification. Literacy and Numeracy can be met through a variety of courses and each course will have defined which standards contribute to Literacy and Numeracy. The Ministry of Education and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority have stated which standards meet Literacy and Numeracy requirements. Ten credits each in Literacy and Numeracy is the minimum required. Students will be offered approximately 20-24 credits from each course although this will vary between subjects. In five subjects students could gain up to 120 credits and in six subjects they could gain up to 144 credits. Course specific information is given to students by teachers of each course. To gain a Level 2 NCEA, a student must achieve 80 credits, of which 60 must be at Level 2 or above with the remaining 20 from Level 1 or higher. Please note: A new requirement has now been added - Level 1 Literacy and Numeracy requirements must now be met to gain the Level 2 certificate. To gain a Level 3 NCEA, a student must achieve 80 credits with a minimum of 60 credits at Level 3 or above. Level 1 Literacy and Numeracy requirements must also have been met. CERTIFICATE ENDORSEMENTS To gain a Merit endorsement on her NCEA qualification a student must gain at least 50 credits at Merit level or higher. To gain an Excellence endorsement on her NCEA qualification a student must gain at least 50 credits at Excellence level. COURSE ENDORSEMENTS Certificates can be endorsed to reflect high achievement in a number of standards from a particular course. Course endorsements will show that students have performed well in an individual course. Students will gain an endorsement for a course if, in a single school year, they achieve: 14 or more credits at Merit or Excellence at the lower level that supports the endorsement At least 3 of these credits from externally assessed standards and 3 credits identified from internally assessed standards. The externally assessed requirement does not apply to Physical Education, and Level 3 Visual Arts. 5 UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE: University Entrance (UE) requirements: Students will need all of the following to be awarded UE: • attain NCEA Level 3 • achieve 14 credits at Level 3 in each of three subjects from the list of approved subjects The list of approved subjects will consist of subjects derived from the New Zealand Curriculum with Achievement Standards at Level 3. • achieve UE numeracy - 10 credits at Level 1 and above from specific achievement standards, or three specific numeracy unit standards • achieve UE literacy - 10 credits (five in reading and five in writing) at Level 2 and above from specific standards. Credits can be accumulated over more than one year. University Restricted Course requirements: For courses with a large number of applicants the entry criteria will be higher. Students will need to check either with the university concerned or with a careers’ guidance counsellor for the entry criteria. Credits are gained by meeting national standards. These credits can be gained from Achievement Standards (AS) and Unit Standards (US). Each subject will supply a Course Information Sheet detailing the AS and/or US offered in a course and the number of credits that each AS or US is worth. Achievement Standards will be awarded as ‘Not Achieved’, ‘Achieved’, ‘Merit’ or ‘Excellence’ level and Unit Standards are awarded as ‘Achieved’ or ‘Not Achieved’. The level at which a standard is achieved will not affect the number of credits gained. If the standard is not met then the AS or US is not achieved and no credits will be gained. Assessment for Achievement Standards will be either internal or external depending upon its registration. Assessment for Unit Standards will be internal. Further information is available on http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/ncea/assessment/search.do The mode of assessment for internal AS and US will vary. It may be by way of written test, research assignment, speaking test, practical task etc. Each course will state the style of assessment in its course outline. NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Authority) will administer examinations for all external Achievement Standards. These will take place at the end of the school year (in November). NZQA will list credits gained for all AS and US on a student’s Record of Achievement. When 80 credits have been obtained, (including the required number of Numeracy and Literacy credits) the student can be awarded NCEA at Level 1. The same will happen for Level 2 and 3. 6 NCEA Outline 10 Level 1 Literacy + 10 Level 1 Numeracy + 60 other Level 1 credits = 80 credits in total NCEA Level 1 NCEA Level 1 with Merit (for 50 Merit and/or Excellence) NCEA Level 1 with Excellence (for 50 Excellence) Course Endorsements with Merit or Excellence (14 Merit and/or Excellence, 3 internal, 3 external, plus 8 others in a designated course) Entry to NCEA Level 2 courses (Check course Pre-requisites for entry criteria) Entry to NCEA Level 3 subjects (Check course Pre-requisites for entry criteria) 60 Level 3 credits + 20 credits from Level 2 or higher = 80 credits NCEA Level 3 NCEA Level 3 with Merit (for 50 Merit and/or Excellence) NCEA Level 3 with Excellence (for 50 Excellence) Course Endorsements with Merit or Excellence (14 Merit and/or Excellence, 3 internal, 3 external, plus 8 others in a designated course) 60 Level 2 credits + 20 credits from any level = 80 credits University Entrance NCEA Level 2 NCEA Level 2 with Merit (for 50 Merit and/or Excellence) NCEA Level 2 with Excellence (for 50 Excellence) Course Endorsements with Merit or Excellence (14 Merit and/or Excellence, 3 internal, 3 external, plus 8 others in a designated course) Level 3 NCEA and 14 credits in each of three approved subjects at Level 3 10 credits Literacy In Level 2 or higher being 5 credits writing 5 credits reading 10 credits Mathematics In level 1 or higher 7 NCEA Fees and Financial Assistance June 2015 NZQA Invoices issued with reports Application open for Financial Assistance July August July 2015 Fees can be paid to payments office or online Applications for Financial Assistance NCEA Level 1, 2, 3 and NZ Scholarship Domestic Students - The cost in 2013 for all Achievement and Unit Standards entered at any levels (including up to 3 subjects in New Zealand Scholarship/Level 4) is $76.70.

At Year 13, students use more complex microeconomic models to gain an understanding of the efficiency of markets. Students will see that perfectly competitive markets are allocatively efficient. But in the real world firms don’t meet the conditions for perfect competition, meaning government intervention in markets may be required to improve efficiency and/or equality. Analysis at this level will show that government intervention may involve a trade-off between efficiency and equity. Macro-economics analysis at this level involves looking at the performance of the New Zealand economy. The impact of internal and external influences on the New Zealand economy are analysed by students using economic models that allow them to predict the impact of the influences on the macro-economic goals of the government.
