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 Assistant Principal – Curriculum Nicole Billante.
