This Curriculum Handbook is designed to help you select Courses for Year 11, 12 and 13.
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?

Transitioning from School
There is a wide range of options available once you leave school. 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

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.

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.

Explanatory Notes:
The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department. The study of business is about how individuals and groups of people organise,

conditions of the day. Issues such as sustainability, citizenship, enterprise, and globalisation are central to both business and the study of business. By completing this course
successfully students will gain knowledge, skills, and experience to:
 Understand how, as a result of internal and external factors, small business owners make operational decisions that have consequences for the success of their business.
 Plan, carry out, and then review a one-off business activity, basing recommendations for the future on market feedback.

At Year 11, key economic conceptual understandings related to scarcity are introduced. Students gain an understanding of everyday microeconomics choices consumers,
producers, and government need to make, because of scarcity, and the implications of these choices for society. Students are introduced to the supply and demand model, using

At Year 12 the focus is contemporary macro-economic issues. Students define and use statistical data to measure these issues. They use models to assist them in gaining an
understanding of cause and effect. At this level, students will recognise the interdependent nature of the New Zealand economy by examining the impact government policies
designed to address contemporary economic issues have on various groups in society. They will also understand that government policies may have unequal effects.

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.

Explanatory Notes: The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
This is a follow-on course from 11MATX. The primary focus of the course is to aim for Merit and Excellence at NCEA Level 2 Mathematics. This course leads to
the both Level 3 courses; 13MATC and 13MATS, or 13MATH as a single mathematics subject. This course is very demanding and requires a high competency level
in Algebra. An opportunity for sitting the Cambridge examination (AS level) may be offered for those students whose IGCSE result in 2013 is A or higher. The
Algebra standard 2.6 (AS91261) was offered in 11MATX. However, all students are expected to attempt this standard again.

Geography is an excellent general knowledge subject that deals with what is happening in the world around us. Students studying Geography strengthen their abilities to research, communicate
in writing, use spatial reasoning skills, use statistics accurately and appropriately, analyse a range of data sets and draw valid and accurate conclusions.
Year 12 Geography examines further examples of people interacting within their environment.

The Natural Landscape topic looks at significant landscapes, how they have evolved and the impact of people on these environments.

Urban Settlements explores how cities develop in predictable patterns and the changes taking place in the 21st Century.

Disparities of Development explores the reasons for inequalities throughout the world and the attempts to counteract poverty.

Field Studies will look at natural landscapes and settlements. There is a field excursion to Tongariro National Park involving data collection for a research assessment. These field trips incur an additional cost of
approximately $280.00. Other internal assessments examine students’ understanding of Geographic issues of a contemporary and global nature.
Geography at University is considered as both a Science and a Humanities’ subject and is cross-creditable depending on your chosen emphasis. A number of students who study Geography at University will go onto careers
in planning, spatial analysis and the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or environmental science. Other students combine Geography with Law or Commerce while Medical students that require a Humanities’
subject can choose Geography.

The Year 13 course involves an in-depth study of New Zealand’s biggest income earner – Tourism. It aims to give students a clear understanding of the tourism development process and the consequences of tourism for the
people and the environment. The Natural Processes topic allows students to have an in-depth knowledge of a local geographic environment with an emphasis on the natural processes that have produced the natural
landforms within the environment and how people are modifying the natural processes. Geographic skills like spatial analysis, topographic mapping skills and the ability to evaluate people’s viewpoints are developed.
Research data is collected on a 3 day field trip to Rotorua and daytrip to Omaha Beach to provide primary information to better understand the natural environment. Internal Assessments examine students’ understanding
of Geographic issues of a contemporary and global nature. Students can also explore the planning and decision-making processes involved in a local planning issue in another Internal Assessment. Field trip excursions incur
an additional cost of approximately 300.00.

Explanatory Notes:
The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
It is recommended, but not necessary, that students entering Level 2 Social Studies have completed the Level 1 Social Studies’ course.
Senior Social Studies is about how societies work and how people can participate in their communities as informed, critical, active and responsible citizens. The focus at Level 2 is to understand how communities and
nations meet their responsibilities and exercise their rights in local, national and global contexts; and understand how conflicts can arise from different cultural beliefs and ideas can be addressed in different ways with
differing outcomes.
Topics include – Malala and the Taliban; the use of the Death Penalty in the USA and actions against it; Abuses of rights in the cotton industry and consumer responsibility; the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. Other topics for the
resource-based externally examined paper change from year to year.
Although students may enter this subject at this level if they have not taken Level 1, it is advantageous for students to have taken the Year 11 course.
