Lincoln High School 2020 Year 11

ERO 2016 Wellbeing Conclusion: “… the key finding from this evaluation was that students in all schools were experiencing a very assessment driven curriculum and assessment anxiety. Achieving academic success is a part of wellbeing but is not the only factor. Very few schools were responding to this overload by reviewing and changing their curriculum and assessment practices. Schools need to explore the intent of NCEA and The New Zealand Curriculum (with the senior secondary guidelines) and develop a curriculum that is underpinned by the vision and principles of these documents.”  

What will a Year 11 NCEA programme look like? The Year 11 programme will consist of: Students being assessed against some Level 1 internal standards during the year giving them the opportunity to achieve approximately 45 credits, not the 80 needed for NCEA Level 1. Students will still gain Level 1 literacy and numeracy (10 credits for each) as these are needed for Level 2 and 3 NCEA.
