Introduction
This senior option booklet provides guidelines to students selecting subjects at Year 11, 12 and 13.
Students should read relevant pages in the option booklet before they make their selection and make
option choices based on the answers to the following questions:
1. Do I find the subject interesting?
2. Does the subject fit into the career pathway I would like to head down?
3. Does the subject allow me to continue studying it beyond next year? (into Year 12 or 13)
4. Do I have the appropriate prerequisites to take the subject?
5. Does it need to be a subject that allows me to get university entrance? (Year 13)
All students will be given the opportunity to select option choices but placement in the class will
depend on students having the appropriate prerequisites (in the first instance) or entrance approval
from the HOD. In some classes (e.g. Year 11 Mathematics, Science and English) students will be placed
in a course that is most suited to their ability. A small number of classes are open entry and students’
placement in these classes may be dependent on whether there is space available.
Think carefully before you choose your subjects. Discuss possibilities with your family, friends and
teachers. Make choices based on where you want to go and on what you want to do, not just because
that’s what your friends are doing.
Course Selection: Year 11
Students are required to take ONE of the courses in English, Mathematics and Science
AND
THREE option subjects from those offered.
Students will be placed in the appropriate English, Mathematics and Science course based on the
grades from their Year 10 assessments at the end of year examination (although there may be some
flexibility for students wishing to select contextual science).
In addition all students will select three option subjects from those offered at Year 11.
Some courses have prerequisites that are stated in the subject information. If you have questions you
should contact your academic leader or one of the following:
The Head of Department

Mrs Green
Deputy Principals & Assistant Principal
Mrs Smith, Mr Steed & Mr Harris

Course Selection: Year 12
All students take SIX subjects
Students are required to take ONE of the courses in English in the following circumstances:
1. They intend to go to university
2. They did not get Level 1 literacy
All Year 12 students are recommended to take an English programme but it is not compulsory for
every student to do so.
Mathematics is not compulsory but strongly recommended at this level. Students who do not have 10
numeracy credits need to talk to their Mathematics teacher about the best pathway to achieve these.
Students must have 10 numeracy credits to get NCEA Level 1, 2 or 3.
Students intending to go into Year 13 and to continue in education at tertiary level should be sure that
the selection of subjects at Year 12 enables them to follow through to Year 13 and beyond.
Some courses at this level have fieldwork as a compulsory part of the course with costs associated.
Again, as with Year 11, some subjects have minimum requirements.
Course Selection: Year 13
Students select five subjects at this level. No subject is compulsory but students need to be aware of
requirements of tertiary institutions for some course entry. Information regarding this can be obtained
from Atawhai where there are leaflets on University and UCOL courses. It is critical that students
wishing to go to university ensure they select options which allows them to meet university entrance
criteria (see pg 5.)
Year 13 students who have failed to achieve the Level 2 University Entrance Literacy requirement need
to ensure the Level 3 courses they select enable them to get UE literacy with sufficient Reading (5) and
Writing (5) credits. Any Year 13 students requiring University Entrance but not having already attained
University Entrance must take a series of subjects that will provide these credits.

National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)
Level 1
To gain a Level 1 certificate a student must achieve 80 credits from achievement standards and/or unit
standards. 10 credits must show numeracy skills and 10 credits must show literacy skills. It is expected
the majority of numeracy credits will be gained through the appropriate mathematics course. Literacy
credits can be achieved across a range of subjects and standards.
For university entrance 10 numeracy credits at Level 1 or above are required from specified
achievement standards or through special numeracy unit standards.
Level 2
To gain NCEA Level 2 a student needs to gain a total of 80 credits of which 60 must be at Level 2 or
above. Level 1 literacy and numeracy requirements must also be met.
Students intending to go on to university study and gain university entrance must gain a minimum of
10 Level 2 or 3 credits in Literacy of which 5 must be in Reading and 5 in Writing from a schedule of
approved achievement and unit standards. A number of subjects allow for achievement of University
Entrance literacy credits. These include English, Drama, Classical Studies, History, Economics, Media
Studies and Te Reo Māori. See course information for more details.
Level 3
This requires a student to gain 80 credits of which 60 must be at Level 3 or above. Level 1 literacy and
numeracy requirements must also be met.

University Entrance
Students will be qualified for entrance to a New Zealand university if they have obtained each of the
following:




NCEA Level 3
Three subjects - at Level 3 or above, made up of:
 14 credits each, in three approved subjects
Literacy - 10 credits at Level 2 or above , made up of:
 5 credits in reading
 5 credits in writing
Numeracy - 10 credits at Level 1 or above, made up of:
 achievement standards – specified achievement standards available through a range of
subjects, or
 unit standards - package of three numeracy unit standards (26623, 26626, 26627- all three
required).
A number of universities have further selection processes into their courses. They use the following
process to select students into some courses:
Applicants to a university courses requiring selection will be allocated a rank score based on the best 80
credits at Level 3 or higher over a maximum of five approved subjects, weighted by the level of
achievement attained in each set of credits. If a student achieves fewer than 80 credits, the rank score
will be based on those credits gained at Level 3 over a maximum of five approved subjects and weighted
by the level of achievement. The approved subjects are determined by NZQA and a list is available on
the NZQA website. Students are strongly encouraged to take achievement standards as preparation for
University studies (this should be taken into account when choosing Level 3 courses). The rank score will
be calculated by awarding four points for Excellence, three for Merit and two for Achieved for up to 24
credits in each approved subject taken at Level 3 in the last two years. The maximum rank score is 320.

9
Certificate Endorsed with Merit or Excellence
These can be obtained at any level by achieving credits with Merit or Excellence.
Merit – requires a student to gain a total of 50 credits with Merit or better at that level
Excellence – requires a student to gain a total of 50 credits with Excellence at that level.
Course Endorsement
Course endorsements provide recognition for students who perform exceptionally well in individual
courses. Students can now have their strengths in individual courses recognised with a course
endorsement at Merit or Excellence. The key objective of course endorsement is to motivate students
to achieve their potential in one or more courses.
Students will gain an endorsement for a course where they achieve:
1. 14 or more credits at Merit or Excellence at the lower level that supports the endorsement
2. at least 3 credits from externally assessed standards and 3 credits from internally assessed
standards
3. sufficient credits in a single school year.
You can read more about certificates and endorsements on the nzqa site:

Vocational Pathways
The Vocational Pathways provide new ways to achieve NCEA Level 2. There are six vocational
pathways:

Primary Industries

Services Industries

Social & Community Services

Manufacturing & Technology

Construction & Infrastructure

Creative Industries
Vocational Pathways Profile
The Vocational Pathways Profile is a visual graph that shows learners' achievement against the
Vocational Pathways. A learner will be able to see their progress and identify where they need to raise
their level of achievement. This will help learners when planning their courses for the following
year. Learners will be able to check that their course selections provide the pathways they need to
achieve their goals.
Learners can see their Vocational Pathways Profile whenever they login to the vocational pathways site
or they can be viewed on the Pathways tab on the parent-student portal area of kamar.
Vocational Pathways Award
To achieve the Vocational Pathways Award, a learner must:


achieve NCEA Level 2 which includes literacy (10 credits) and numeracy (10 credits) at Level 1 or
above, and
achieve 60 x Level 2 credits from the Recommended Assessment Standards for a Vocational
Pathways, including 20 x Level 2 credits from Sector-Related Standards for the same
sector. Credits from the Recommended Assessment Standards and Sector-Related Standards must
come from the same Vocational Pathway e.g Primary Industries.
A learner can achieve more than one Vocational Pathways Award if they complete more than one
Vocational Pathway.
Learners can also use the Profile Builder to plan a Vocational Pathway. Students can enter standard
numbers from the course booklet to see which standards can help them to develop a pathway to
particular awards.

the structures of living organisms, vital processes that organisms carry out to
ensure survival and how organisms interact with each other. Genetics and
evolution enable students to understand the mechanism by which change
can occur within an organism. Students intending doing any of the
biomedical sciences or veterinary science should take this course as should
students intending to work in the field of environmental science. This
includes nurse, midwife, doctor, dentist, pharmacist, veterinarian, vet nurse,
science technician, environmental planner, biosecurity officer, brewer,
