CHOOSING A COURSE FOR 2020 This booklet gives you information about subjects you can take for NCEA Level Two. It will help you fill out the OPTION CHOICE FORM. Follow these steps when making your choices: 1. Read the outlines of all the courses available to you and the information about qualifications and assessment. 2. Take time to discuss possible subject choices with your teachers. 3. Consult the Subject Guide of this book for further information about the subjects offered. 4. If you have possible career ideas, see the Careers Advisor, your Dean, or subject teachers for advice on appropriate subject selection. 5. Hand in your OPTION CHOICE FORM to your Tutor Teacher Thursday 20 September. 6. You will be given details about checking and confirming your options. Entry into subjects depends of a number of factors: subject combinations, teacher availability, your level of attainment and timetabling. If you are required to attend an option check and don’t, you may miss out on entry into the subjects of your choice. 7. In certain circumstances it is possible for you to take a subject through correspondence or video conferencing. This requires approval from the DP Curriculum. Only one subject may be studied this way. QUALIFICATIONS This year, Year 11, 12 and 13 students will be working towards Level One, Two and Three of the National Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA), administered by the NZQA. Departments may offer a National Certificate of ---- eg NCM National Certificate in Computing. Attempting these should be seen as assisting you to gain the NCEA Level Two Certificate. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: How Do I gain the NCEA? To gain the NCEA at Level Two a student needs 60 Level Two credits and 20 Level One credits across a range of subjects. Credits are gained by a student being assessed against a pre-defined Standard (learning outcome) and achieving the standard. The method of assessment is called Standards-based Assessment. Credits can be gained either via Unit Standards or by Achievement Standards.
What’s the Difference between a Unit Standard (US) and an Achievement Standard (AS)?
Achievement Standards recognise the degree of achievement. The standard is either, Not Achieved (N), or Achieved (A), or Achieved with Merit (M), or Excellence (E). Unit Standards are either Achieved (A) or Not Achieved (N) See the course outlines for assessment information.

Will there be Exams?
Yes. More than half the assessment for most regular school subjects will be by exam (external assessment). Standards are assessed either internally (within school) and are checked nationally, or externally (Nationally Assessed). See the course outlines for further information. The external achievement standards are attempted in November.
How will Results be reported?
Students will receive a ‘Record of Learning’ that will profile what they have achieved and how well they have achieved. Certificate Endorsements – NCEA certificates can be endorsed with Merit or Excellence. To obtain an endorsement you need to achieve 50 credits at the merit or excellence level.
Subject Endorsements –You are able to get your NCEA certificate endorsed with a subject
endorsement. To achieve this you need to obtain 14 or more credits at Merit or Excellence. At least three of these credits must be from externally assessed standards and three credits from internally assessed standards. Note: this does not apply to Physical Education and Level Three Visual Arts.
Vocational Pathways Endorsements – Students needs 20 sector related standards and 40 sector
recommended standards in the fields of Primary, construction and infrastructure, service, creative, social and community and manufacturing and technology. Check with the Careers Advisor if this is a goal for you.
If I am absent for an assessment will I be given the opportunity of doing it?
If you are absent from an external assessment there will be no further opportunity to be assessed. In some subjects you will be able to do an internal assessment providing you have followed the correct procedure and there is a reassessment opportunity.
If I am unhappy with my grade or if I don’t achieve a credit in an assessment will I be able to do it again?
You may attempt an assessment again providing you have followed the correct procedure and there is a reassessment opportunity given. You may be offered this opportunity in internal assessments only. See the subject outlines for more details.
Do I take any credits forwards from Level One to credit towards Level Two?
If you have completed Level One you can count twenty of your Level One credits towards your Level Two qualification.
What do I need for University Entrance and why is it important at this stage?
The first requirement is 10 Level One numeracy credits in Mathematics and 10 Level Two Literacy credits in English or Te Reo. Five of these literacy credits must be in writing and five in reading. You must do English or Te Reo in Year 12 so aim to collect these credits this year. For further information about NCEA refer to the NZQA NCEA bulletins or visit the website: www.ncea.govt.nz
Stationery costs and entry fees for qualifications are additional to the course costs stated in this booklet.

LEVEL 1,2,3 VIDEO CONFERENCING
Tokoroa High School
is a member of The Volcanics eLearning Community Course Options 2019
We welcome opportunities to talk with students, whanau, parents and caregivers. Benefits As a member of Volcanics, we are able to provide students with access to teachers from other schools nationally through eLearning. There are multiple benefits to enrolling in an eLearning Community course. Students are able to take courses that are not currently offered at their school and “timetable” clashes can be resolved. Year 10 students are welcome to enrol in NCEA Level One courses as an extension opportunity. We also have access to a number of courses provided by tertiary institutions which adds to the range of options available. Successful eLearners are also very well prepared for tertiary study. Background Volcanics is a Community of Schools who work together to provide high quality learning opportunities based around the New Zealand Curriculum. Volcanics is a member of the New Zealand Virtual Learning Network Community (VLNC.) There are other such clusters that work together to provide a wide range of curriculum subjects. As a member of Volcanics, we are able to provide students with access to teachers from other schools nationally through eLearning. How it works? Each eLearning course will have one or more of the following learning components: ● ●
Paper based (workbooks, textbooks and notes) An online component accessed through an online learning environment such as Moodle, UltraNet, Google Docs ● Video conferencing (VC), or web based conferencing using Adobe Connect or Google Hangouts All NCEA courses offer NZQA Achievement Standards. Communication is maintained through videoconferencing and a combination of tools in the online learning environments such as email, google communities, google drive, google sites, learning management systems, skype and texts. Please note that acceptance into a virtual course is dependent upon available resources, the level of student enrolment and the timing of the enrolment. Sometimes students will be on a waiting list for a short time. Acceptance into eLearning courses will also be determined by a recommendation that the student is sufficiently self-motivated and has the ability to work with less direct teacher supervision than would normally be the case in a face to face class.

Frequently Asked Questions 1. Who will be my teacher? If you are enrolled in an online course, your eTeacher will be from another school in New Zealand. 2. How often will I see my teacher? You will have an hour long video or web conferencing class each week, and your eTeacher will provide an online classroom (like a website) in which you will work 3-4 hours each week. 3. How will I communicate or get work to and from my teacher? You will be able to communicate regularly with your eTeacher through emails, online forums, online chats, news forums, discussion boards, skype and text messages. 4. How do I receive work or send work to my eTeacher? You will be able to upload your assignments, assessments, tests and any other work into your online classroom. You can also email your work, share it eg through Google Docs, Dropbox etc or simply post it. For work sent online, your eTeacher will mark your work online and send it back the same way. 5. Do I need access to a computer or device at home? You will require access during school time to a computer or a device (eg tablet, laptop, phone) and the internet so that you can work independently in your “online environment/online classroom”. If you have the internet at home, that is an added bonus. 6. What happens if I have another class at that time? Video-conference lessons take precedence. You will have to make up for the lost time by working with your teacher from your school on what you have missed in their lesson. This is why you need to be selfmotivated. 7. Who can apply for an online class? You may apply through your Dean or through the eDean to be enrolled in an online course if the subject/course you wish to study is: · Not currently offered at your school · Clashes with another timetabled class · Offered through a tertiary organisation Students who apply must: Be self-motivated and well organised Have suitable prior learning for the course applying for
