Transitioning from School
When choosing your options consider the following:
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.

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.

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.

Explanatory Notes:

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.

In Level 2 Classical Studies at Westlake Girls High School the focus is on the civilisation of Ancient Greece; everyday life; the social and political systems, the art and literature. We
examine the belief systems, philosophies and values of the time. Topics include: Greek drama, Athenian socio-political life.
NZQA Rationale – Classical Studies is the study of the people, places and events of the classical world and how they influence the modern world. Classical Studies is an
interdisciplinary subject: students engage with Literature, Languages, Art, History, Science, Technology, Religion and Philosophy. Students explore community, cultural identity,
values and perspectives and think critically about human behaviour and relationships to appreciate the civilisations of Ancient Greece and Rome, understand the past and the
present and to imagine possible futures.

The extreme natural events topic looks at the physical consequences of these events and the impact that it has on people;

Population encompasses the statistical aspects of cities and towns and the migration of people;

There are wide range of geographical skills including mapping, drawing, interpreting statistics, spatial analysis and understanding different perspectives;

The field trip is an overnight excursion to Waitomo Caves to research for the sustainable use of an environment assessment. The approximate cost is $210 if opting to do Black Water Rafting or $145 without.

reasoning skills, use statistics accurately and appropriately, analyse a range of data sets and draw valid and accurate conclusions.
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. The approximate cost for
the Rotorua trip is $$320, Omaha Beach $15 and Polyfest $15.
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

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; The African animal poaching wars; Conflict in Israel/Palestine today. 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.

from different cultural beliefs and ideas.
It is highly recommended, though not necessary, that students taking this course have completed Year 12 Social Studies.
The study of Social Studies at this level is excellent preparation for tertiary education and a variety of careers including Sociologist, Psychologist, Social Worker, Anthropologist, Customer Service, Police Officer, Documentary
Maker, Magazine Editor, Councillor, Teacher, Lawyer, Human Resources Assistant, Economist, Judge, Judge’s Assistant, the United Nations, work with NGOs, Politics etc.
Possible topics for 2015 are:
-The Ami
-Palm Oil
-Marriage Equality
-Crimes influenced by ideologies eg terrorism, cults
-Law Reform
-Women’s rights in India today
There are also two compulsory source based topics for external examination. NZQA advice schools of these early next year.
At this level students are challenged to think critically about social issues, to analyse complex situations and find ways of explaining them, and to think about their own viewpoints.
There is no Scholarship examination for Senior Social Studies.
Students have the option of going on a trip to the Auckland Zoo as part of their preparation for the Achievement Standard 3.4 Social Action on Environmental Issues assessment. The approximate cost of the trip is $20.
