Scholarships Students have the opportunity to gain a scholarship by completing another examination for each subject in Year 13.

A scholarship is a monetary award to recognise top students in NZ. It does not gain credits nor contribute towards a qualification, but the fact that a student has gained a scholarship appears on the Record of Achievement. It can help students gain access to courses at Tertiary level.

Endorsements & Course Endorsements

Students require 50 credits at Excellence to gain an NCEA endorsed with Excellence and 50 credits at Merit (or Merit and Excellence) to gain NCEA endorsed with Merit. Course endorsements require 14+ credits at Excellence, or at Merit and Excellence. Of these, at least 3 must be internal and 3 external (where available).

About this Booklet It is important to select a suitable course of study and have clear objectives for a range of possible situations after you leave Kāpiti College. Read the booklet and consider progression for next year. Check progression pathways on the final page subject matrix. What is a standard? Firstly, you are learning a subject. For assessment purposes, each subject has a number of ‘standards’. These describe what you should be able to do by the time you have learned a section of the subject. For example: Achievement Standard 90851: Show understanding of significant aspects of unfamiliar texts, is a test of comprehension. Internal standards are completed and credits gained during the year. External standards are done in end of year examinations or portfolios. Each standard gives you a number of credits if you pass the assessment. The number of credits in a standard varies according to how much you would have to learn and there are around six standards per course. Most subjects offer between 20 and 24 credits. What tells me how well I have achieved overall? Your first aim for 2016 is to gain a Level 1 National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). To do so, you need to achieve at least 80 credits, including ten credits each in Literacy and Numeracy. The credits you earn in 2016 you keep, so if you don’t pass next year, you will be able to complete your Level 1 when you are in Year 12. Most students’ courses will have at least 140 credits available, and it is within the ability of nearly all of you to achieve NCEA during Year 11. It is important that you achieve as well as you are able. Aim for ‘Excellence’, rather than being satisfied with ‘Achieved’. Note that you cannot move on to the next level in a subject just because you have achieved Level 1 NCEA. You need to have performed well enough in that subject at Year 11. Generally this means achieving at least 15/16 credits. Are there any other National Certificates I can achieve? Yes, you can gain National Certificates in Hospitality and Catering, Childcare, Building and Mechanical Engineering. These work alongside NCEA Level 1-3 and in some instances can take two years. What are Vocational Pathways? When you gain Level 2, you can also get Vocational Pathways Awards if you have completed 60 recommended assessment standards (including 20 sector-related standards from the same sector pathway). Vocational pathways help you to see how your strengths, interests and achievements relate to future study options and job opportunities. The pathways provide clear study options that are valued by employers and show you what employers expect to see you achieve in your learning. You can check out what credits you have towards the different vocational pathways on the NZQA website.

The pathways cover six broad industry sectors: Manufacturing and technology, Construction and infrastructure, Creative industries, Primary industries, Social and community services, Services industries.

Which subjects are compulsory? 1. English 101 or 102 2. Maths 101 or 102 or 111 3. Science 101 or 102 or 111

If you are taking 101 subjects, we recommend that you take at least ONE Social Science subject, such as History, Geography, Economics, Social Studies, OR a language, such as Maori, French, Japanese. What is the difference between 101, 102 and 111 courses? If the subject has 101 after it, then it will be focused on Merit and Excellence grades. You will work to a tight timetable and about half your credits will be from exams or portfolios due at the end of the year. If it is a 102 course, it will be Achieved focused, although higher grades are available. It will be more flexible and exams will usually be optional. 111 courses are aiming for Excellence and will be more challenging. You will be given assistance in the decision over which course is most likely to bring you success. If you find Maths difficult, for example, then it would be wiser for you to take the 102 course. What is an Endorsement? Achieving your Level 1 is fine, but is not the main goal for many Kāpiti students. Gaining a minimum of 50 credits at Merit/Excellence level means that you are awarded NCEA endorsed with Merit. If you get 50 credits at Excellence, then it is endorsed with Excellence. These achievements are recognised and valuable to have. Most Universities give scholarships to many students who gain Excellence at Level 2. You can also gain course endorsements for individual subjects. You need to pass 14+ credits at Excellence to gain an Excellence course endorsement and 14+ credits at Merit/Excellence to gain a Merit course endorsement. For both endorsements this must include at least 3 internal and 3 external credits, except in completely internal courses. Will I be allowed to do any subject that I choose? Entry to subjects at senior level is done in consultation with the HOD or Teacher in Charge, with your final course confirmed by your Dean. The important question in approving courses is whether you have a reasonable chance of achieving academic success. Note that your performance in the Year 10 exams will be taken into account and some of you will be asked to do extra study and resit exams before you are ready for entry to Year 11. Some subjects may not be available if the numbers of students wishing to take them are not large enough. Can I take subjects at Level 2 in Year 11? This will not apply to many of you. However, some students have taken Level 1 subjects in Year 10. This is only possible with the agreement of the Head of Department and your Dean. What if I still don’t know what to choose? If you do not have a clear idea about where you want your studies to lead you, then consider a general course such as the compulsory group above and one each from:

• Practical: Physical Education / Digital Technology / Technology / Graphics • Arts: Arts / Music / Languages

If you intend to continue your studies to University level, check that you know what previous study is required and include the necessary subjects in your Year 11 course. You can check the subject choice matrix on the back page of this booklet to see the course pathways to prepare you for the UE Level 3 subjects below.

The large number of standards in NCEA can be confusing. We will help you by:

• Giving you a course outline and assessment schedule for each subject in the first week of Term 1.

• Where practicable, giving you one opportunity for reassessment if you fail to achieve an internal standard.

• Issuing reports during the year.

• Giving you regular updates on your achievement of credits.

• Providing access to the parent/student portal where you and your parents can check your results and attendance at any time.

• Having regular Academic Conferences with you to discuss your progress.

• Providing an Assessment Calendar to help you organise your work towards internals.

• Insisting that you do your best to succeed, through setting College achievement, attendance and behaviour benchmarks.

• Read the subject choices carefully and answer the questions in this booklet.

• Discuss it with your parents and whanau then bring them to the NCEA evening at 7pm on Wednesday 2nd of September

• Talk to your teachers, particularly those in charge who are listed on the next page.

• Complete the online Subject Intentions, due Monday 7th September.

• You will have an opportunity in late November to review these choices and confirmation will be given to each student then about whether you gain entry to 101, 102 or 111 courses in Maths and Science, the Health academy and 101 or 102 courses in English.

What costs are involved? This section is for parents. Over time, schools have developed and changed with:

greater emphasis on learning by doing, rather than text-book centred learning greater use of photocopiers and vastly increased use of paper for handouts and exams greater use of computers for administrative and teaching purposes increased expectations on the part of students and parents/caregivers as to what a school

should provide, including major capital works, data projectors etc.

In order to provide these extras, and particularly photocopying, Boards of Trustees charge a number of subject fees and donations. On the next page you will find these listed for all subjects detailed in this booklet. Fees contribute to the costs of the ‘take-home’ component of materials in a number of subjects, such as Building and Construction. Donations assist with other subject costs, especially for additional photocopying materials. Because they are listed on the statements you will receive as donations, they are a voluntary payment and tax deductible.

Many parents make regular automatic payments to cover fees and donations as well as other school costs. If you wish to set up an automatic payment, contact the Finance Manager on 902-5121 ext 846. Note that subject fees are compulsory for all students entering the courses, and we request that all fees are paid prior to the end of Term 3. Besides the costs on the next page, please note that there are some subjects that have ‘Write-on’ notes or Digital textbooks which are purchased by students when they organise stationery at the beginning of the year and which teachers feel will assist achievement. Often these books are used for homework, to reinforce what has been learnt during the class. Where there is any issue with costs, it pays to talk to the school at an early stage. Mr T Kane Principal NB: Outstanding FEES from previous years must be settled or an automatic payment started before acceptance into a FEE based subject
