YEAR 11

All students must study SIX courses, including English, Mathematics and Science. 

For students who would have difficulty in handling six traditionally academic courses in one year, there are courses available in Horticultural Science, Mathematics with Numeracy and Alternative English that go at a slower pace.  

Students are encouraged to carry on with at least one of their current Year 10 options, but they must be aware of subjects available to them for the first time and where courses lead after Year 11.

All courses have internally assessed work that count towards the final NCEA results.  Nearly all courses have internal (Cromwell College) examinations/ assessments in August / September.

Make sure you are aware of your course choice towards your identified Vocational Pathway/s; however, don’t narrow yourself down too much by taking lots of the same sort of course.

Students, when choosing a course, will be required to do the complete course, attempt all the Achievement and Unit Standards in the course, and sit the school exams.

Students are expected to enter and sit the examinations in as many NCEA courses as they, their parents and the school, consider suitable.
