Academic vision for year 11
Academic vision for year 11
The Rolleston College academic vision for a year 11 learner is centred on building upon the foundational learning habits established in years 9 and 10, with a focus on applying these skills to the formal qualification process of NCEA.
Learners are encouraged to maintain their inquisitive nature and strive for success in their learning endeavours. The vision highlights the importance of recognising the link between subject choices and potential career pathways, while also emphasising the acquisition of co-requisites and achieving success at Level 1.
Additionally, learners are supported in developing organisational and study habits crucial for academic progression, all while continuing to explore a diverse range of subject areas to broaden their educational horizons.

Our Year 11 learners are all now well on the path to gaining their Level 1 NCEA qualification. The quiet, distraction-free space at home continues to be a key tool to support learners to achieve their personal best.
Learners are expected to be reviewing their learning each night – small, regular review sessions have a much greater impact than last minute ‘cramming’.
Also, encouraging your teenager to share their learning with whānau can be a great way to deepen their understanding.

Term three is a great opportunity for learners to build confidence and show what they’ve been working towards. With so much happening, it's important for students to prioritise, plan, and manage their time well. A great way to stay on top of things is by using their school diary or a planner to track deadlines, set goals, and break tasks into smaller, manageable steps.
Being at school on time each day sets the tone for success, and doing a bit of home learning every night – even just 20 to 30 minutes – can make a big difference. Encourage your learner to review their notes regularly, ask for help early, and make use of school support and tutorials. With good habits and a clear plan, term three can be a rewarding and successful term!
Whānau and learners can also stay up-to-date with assessment due dates by logging into Schoolbridge (link below) and checking the NCEA Assessment Calendar.
