Supporting your choices

Read all about ASHS approach to learning for our Year 11 students.

ASHS has been delivering Level 1 differently since 2022.
Additionally, the NCEA Curriculum Change Package was formally introduced nationally in 2024 - Click here for all the details.  

• We recommend that you consider a broad foundation at Level 1.

• If you wish to choose a course from another level, please discuss this at your enrolment interview. 

• You will need to select five SUBJECTS. 

• You will need to take Math and English.  This is to ensure that you have access to the literacy and numeracy standards, required to pass NCEA at Level 2 and 3, in addition to the opportunity to complete literacy and numeracy co-requisite standards.
  
  NOTE - the co-requisite standards may have been attempted in year 10, these are designed to assess competency at a level 4 and low level 5 of the New Zealand Curriculum. 
  Year 11 English and Maths are designed to meet Level 6 of the New Zealand curriculum.
