GENERAL INFORMATIONGeneral InformationWhat do I need to succeed in 2018?It is extremely important to select a course where students will be successful and have a wide range of subjects that willmake available several possible career pathways.To be able to perform at the next level in a number of subjects, students will need to carefully take note of the prerequisites. At Year Eleven all students take English, Mathematics and Science and /or Agricultural & Horticultural Science.There are a number of different levels of learning in each of these subjects. The HOD of each of these subjects will allocatestudents to a particular class from the results in Year Ten including the examination in term four.To enter university, students are required to study at least four approved subjects in Year 13.University Approved Level 3 SubjectsAccountingAgriculture & HorticultureBiologyBusiness StudiesCalculusChemistryChineseClassical StudiesConstruction and MechanicalTechnologiesCook Islands MāoriDanceDesign (Practical Art)Design and Visual CommunicationDigital TechnologiesDramaEarth and Space ScienceEconomicsEducation for SustainabilityEnglishFrenchGeographyGermanHealth EducationHistoryHistory of ArtHome EconomicsPhotography (Practical Art)Physical EducationPhysicsPrintmaking (Practical Art)Processing TechnologiesReligious StudiesSamoanScienceSculpture (Practical Art)IndonesianJapaneseKoreanLatinMathematicsMedia StudiesMusic StudiesPainting (Practical Art)SpanishSocial StudiesStatisticsTe Reo MāoriTe Reo RangatiraTechnologyTonganA full list of standards in each of these subjects is available here: ards/university-entrance/approved-subjects/How does Scholarship at Level Three work?New Zealand Scholarship aims to extend the most academically able students. Students may enter one or more scholarshipassessments as well as Level Three assessments. These assess student’s ability to apply higher level thinking based on inschool and independent learning. It requires extra work.All assessments are external. For each standard, the scholarships that can be gained include: single subject award, topsubject scholar award, scholarship award, outstanding scholar award and premier award. All students have their successrecorded on their Record of Learning and can receive a monetary award, with top scholars nationally receiving 10,000 peryear during their tertiary studies. It is economically worth twice as much if you pass three scholarship subjects and studentscan retain the scholarship for three years of University study. So, students should seriously consider whether they have threepotential scholarship subjects.4

GENERAL INFORMATIONVocational PathwaysThe Vocational Pathways are a tool that provides a clear framework for vocational options, support betterprogramme design and careers advice, and improve the links between education and employment.They are the product of a partnership between government agencies, the industry training sector, secondaryand tertiary education representatives, and industry and employer representatives.There are six pathways which represent new ways to structure and achieve NCEA Level 2 and provide a morecoherent framework for foundation vocational education and training. The pathways will help students todevelop their own individual education plan, so they are better informed and able to make better choices tomeet their goals.Vocational Pathways AwardIf your NCEA Level 2 includes enough credits from recommended standards, and you meet the NCEA literacyand numeracy requirement, you can have one of the six industries awarded as your Vocational Pathway onyour NZQA Record of Achievement. This will be a real advantage when you get out there and look for work andtraining opportunities in a specific sector.Vocational ProfileThe Vocational Profile is a visual graph which will show learner achievement against the six VocationalPathways. Learners will be able to identify their progress and identify where they need to raise their level ofachievement when planning their courses for the following year and check that their course selections providethe pathways they need to achieve their goals.Getting StartedStart your journey at www.youthguarantee.net.nz1.
