Year 12
In Year 12, students study six subjects. These will
be assessed using NCEA achievement standards
or unit standards. Most courses involve a formal
written examination in November.
Year 13
Like Levels 1 and 2, 80 credits are required to gain
the Year 13 Level 3 certificate. However, 20 credits
are carried over from Level 2.
Entry into Year 13 subjects is not automatic and
will depend upon a students performance the
previous year.
Scholarship is a separate examination assessing
a higher level of understanding and application of
knowledge from the Level 3 curriculum.
Questions regarding examination entries or
regulations should be addressed to Mr Eccleton,
Assistant Principal – Curriculum.
