Outside Experts •
A very useful website is www.careers.govt.nz CHOOSING A COURSE OF STUDY Research shows that the two main influences on subject choice are: 1) What subjects your friends are taking 2) Which teacher is teaching a particular subject NEITHER OF THESE SHOULD INFLUENCE YOUR SUBJECT CHOICE! Your friends may NOT be in the same class as you next year even if you take the same subjects, and no one yet knows who will be teaching any subjects next year so : CONCENTRATE ON WHAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR FUTURE. WHO CAN HELP YOU?
MULTI-­‐LEVEL STUDY Multi-­‐Level Study means that a student can study ANY subject at ANY level provided subjects are available AND you qualify. e.g. Jim Student may choose: Year 9 -­‐ Maori Year 10 -­‐ Graphics Jim Student could be a Year 11 -­‐ English Year 11, 12 or 13 Student!! Year 11 -­‐ Mathematics Year 11 -­‐ Geography Year 12 -­‐ Biology It is important to choose a subject at the correct level for you. For example; you might have to ‘suck it up’ and do level 1 science when you are in year 13 – because you really do need to do level 1 science to get into a particular job. CAREERS ADVICE Mrs. Jefferson is the Careers Advisor. The purpose of the careers advisor is to facilitate subject, course, career and further education decisions in conjunction with the student, his Dean and his Parents/Caregivers. Advice can be sought by making an appointment with the Careers advisor, by reading the literature supplied in ‘Tahunga’ or through research on sites such as www.careers.govt.nz. During the subject selection process the Careers Advisor will be available to interview all Yr 11, 12 and 13 students in an effort to establish some action plan(s) that will enable that student to make informed choices. Further career advice can be sought from your year level dean and your vertical form teacher. Careers as a topic will be covered through the curriculum for all year levels: Year 9 -­‐ -­‐ Social Science Year 10 -­‐ Social Science Year 11 – 13 -­‐ Access to university and industry information through presenters and relevant workshops held during lunchtimes for interested students. 1
HOW TO GET AN NCEA CERTIFICATE To be awarded NCEA Level 1 you must achieve 80 credits. Of these, ten credits must be in literacy standards (reading and writing in English or Maori or any other standards which carry L1 literacy credits) and ten credits in numeracy (maths) stds. To be awarded NCEA Level 2 you need: •
•
60 credits at level 2 or above; plus 20 credits at any level, even if gained for any other National Qualification. You must also have passed level 1 literacy and numeracy To be awarded NCEA Level 3 you must achieve: • 60 credits at level 3 or above; plus • 20 credits at level 2 or above, even if gained for any other National Qualification. To be awarded University Entrance you must achieve: • NCEA Level 3 • 14 credits in each of Three Approved Subjects • UE Literacy CAN I GET MY NCEA CERTIFICATE WITH MERIT OR EXCELLENCE? Yes, students can get their Level one, two or three certificates ‘endorsed’ with Merit or Excellence – if they have done well enough. Endorsement with Merit For a certificate to be endorsed with Merit, 50 credits at Merit or Excellence will be required at the same level, or higher, on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) as the certificate being awarded. Endorsement with Excellence For a certificate to be endorsed with Excellence, 50 credits at Excellence will be required at the same level, or higher, on the NQF as the certificate being awarded. Course Endorsement You can gain a Merit or Excellence endorsement in individual subjects by getting 14 credits at Merit or 14 credits at Excellence. At least 3 of these credits must be from external assessment and 3 from internal assessment HOW SHOULD I CHOOSE A COURSE OF STUDY NEXT YEAR? Choose subjects that you are good at and that will lead to the careers you are interested in. Your overall course should include about 100 to 120 credits – that way you have a good chance of passing 80 credits. Remember that you need to pass 80 credits to get your Level 1 NCEA Certificate. WHAT IF I DON’T GET 80 CREDITS? If you don’t get enough credits to get your Level One Certificate (or your Level 2 or 3 Certificate) in one year, you can use credits that you gain the next year. The credits from different years can be added together. NOTE: Many of the Year 12 and 13 subjects at GBHS have ‘pre-­‐requisite’ standards that you must have passed the previous year before you will be allowed to continue with the subject. It is important to check the pre-­‐requisites for the year 12 and 13 subjects you might want to take. Then make sure you pass them. 2
ENTRANCE TO UNIVERSITY With the advent of NCEA, University Entrance has become a lot more flexible. Many tertiary courses of study have specific requirements. These requirements may relate to the actual achievement standards, the level of achievement (e.g. merit or better) and the number and level of credits. You need to be aware that meeting the university entrance requirement below DOES NOT necessarily get you into a university. Each university has much higher requirements for entry to specific courses. With this in mind it would be most useful for prospective university applicants to visit the university web sites to determine entry qualifications. Admission to University via NCEA You must have: Level 3 (or above) 42 credits Approved Subject A Approved Subject B Approved Subject C which includes 14 credits in (14 credits) (14 credits) (14 Credits) each of three approved subjects. (However some universities have a rank score calculation for preferential entry and an additional Literacy requirement) AND Level 2 (or above) Approved Reading Approved writing Including 5 credits in reading (5 credits) (5 credits) standards and 5 credits in writing standards AND Level 1 (or above) Maths (14 credits) Entry to University may only be 42 L3 credits but in order to attain NCEA Level 3 and GRADUATE from Secondary School, you must have 60 Level 3 credits and 20 Level 2 credits (minimum). Students should go to their selected University site and check there are no additional specific requirements for selection. They should also be aware that while 42 credits is University Entrance, it may not be enough to guarantee a place due to student numbers in particular courses.

In 2015 these courses were: School of Construction, Catering and Hospitality, School of Agriculture, Outdoor Pursuits School of Mechanical Engineering, First Aid Certificate, Learners Licence, Restricted Licence, Defensive Driving, Forklift, Aquaculture, Police Preparation, CV, Planning for Future Pathway & Interview Skills GATEWAY WHAT IS GATEWAY? Gateway is a programme for Year 12, 13 and 14 students to gain experience and relevant NZQA credits in the workplace while remaining at school. Gateway students are placed in a workplace for half to one day a week – in an occupation they are interested in. Students are required to complete a workplace safety course, first aid course, AND attain a minimum of 20 credits related to their chosen industry. The programme has successfully run at GBHS for the past ten years and some students have obtained apprenticeships as a result of being in the workplace and working hard. WHO CAN DO GATEWAY? Gateway is for Year 12, 13 and 14 students who can show they are reliable and prepared to do what it takes in the workplace. WHY DO GATEWAY? Gateway gives you experience in an occupation you might want to pursue when you leave school. You will find out whether it is what you really want to do and you will gain some useful skills in that occupation. You will also work towards some industry NZQA credits that count towards your NCEA results. Participating in the Gateway programme is not restricted to the trades; academic students considering further study have also participated e.g. Law, Accounting, Engineering. We work hard to ensure that there is minimal disruption to your timetable. Gateway helps fund some courses such as First Aid, Workplace Safety and some other course dependent on relevance to industry requirements. WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS? To join the Gateway programme you must: • Be responsible for yourself • Have a good record of school attendance • Be reliable and punctual • Have good manners • Be willing to learn • Be prepared to keep up with your school subjects while participating in the Gateway programme HOW DO I GET ON THE GATEWAY PROGRAMME • See Mrs Bridge at Tahunga, she will work with you and help clarify your ideas and career thoughts. • At subject selection time, discuss Gateway with your Dean, then see Mrs Bridge • Fill out an application form • You and your parent/caregiver will have an interview with Mrs Bridge before a Gateway placement is confirmed TRADES ACADEMY WHAT IS THE TRADES ACADEMY? Students will apply for entry into the Trades Academy courses by choosing the relevant TRADES ACADEMY course on the subject selection form. Entry will be based on appropriate course selection and the ability to meet entrance criteria. Attitude, attendance at school, and work completion are all necessary criteria. Students must be able to work independently and be reliable and responsible. Students who are selected must be prepared to attend EIT each Friday to successfully complete their course. These courses are run off-­‐site at EIT Tairawhiti every Friday, starting early in Term 1 and finishing at the end of October each year. Students selected for a Trades Academy course will also be required to complete study in 5 other curriculum subjects. Note: Courses are subject to enough numbers to run. ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES (ESOL) Ms McCarthy is the HOD of the ESOL Department and through her, ESOL assistance is available to international students. Individual student needs are assessed within the department and appropriate programmes recommended. The course concentrates on: • Communicative language skills for elementary, intermediate and advanced students. Both oral (speaking and listening) and written (reading and writing) skills are developed • Academic language to assist students in core mainstream classes • The New Zealand way of life and cultural activities are emphasised through reading, discussion and outside of school experiences • Nationally recognised ESOL Unit Standards for Year 11 ESOL students will be offered. This course will give students the opportunity to gain credits that contribute to NCEA. • Preparation for IELTS for advanced ESOL senior students. 4
QUALIFICATIONS IN THE SENIOR SCHOOL National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) How does NCEA work? To get your Level One NCEA Certificate, you must get at least 80 NCEA credits. There are two ways that you can get credits: • Achievement Standards • Unit Standards The subjects you choose for next year will offer either Achievement Standards, Unit Standards or a combination of both. Unit standards are not available in most ‘conventional’ subjects. Most subjects offer between 16 and 24 credits for a year’s work. Each Achievement Standard and each Unit Standard that you pass earns you some credits (some are worth more than others – usually between 2 and 6 credits each). What is the difference between Achievement Standards and Unit Standards? • Unit Standards are all internally assessed. • Some Achievement Standards are internally assessed, however many are externally assessed – usually by an end of year exam. • Almost all Unit Standards are pass or fail, with no other grades available. • Achievement Standards have 3 levels of ‘pass’-­‐ Achieved, Achieved with Merit and Achieved with Excellence. You get the same number of NCEA credits for an Achieved pass as you do for a Merit or Excellence. You get the same number of NCEA credits for an Achieved pass as you do for a Merit or Excellence pass. Assessment: • Some standards are internally assessed (your teacher marks your work), and some are externally assessed (your work is marked by someone from outside the school). • In most subjects, external assessment involves you sitting NCEA exams at the end of the year. In some subjects, external assessment means your project work is sent off to be assessed by someone from outside the school. • You should keep a record of all your internally assessed grades throughout the year – so you can check that your final results sheet is correct. SUBJECT SELECTION FOR 2016 To whanau/caregivers This year subject selection will run differently from previous years. A specialist team has been established to ensure that there is consistency and expertise when your son/ward selects his subjects. Each boy has been allocated a 15minute appointment with one of the Careers Team. It is imperative that the times are adhered to therefore if you would like to be part of the process please call the Careers team to either reschedule a longer appointment OR observe the times allocated. This allows the process to run smoothly for everyone concerned. We have allowed time for these additional appointments and have asked a local careers specialist to assist with boys who are still unsure as to what Career they are interested in. We have over 400 boys to interview so your support during this process is appreciated. Good career decisions are made when whanau, the student and the careers team are working together and we do encourage whanau involvement so if you think you need a longer appointment please call Maria Jefferson or Sally Bishop on 8688159 to facilitate this. Furthermore, please do not hesitate in contacting us throughout the year if there are careers conversations we can help with for your son/ward. 5
