Academic vision for year 12
Academic vision for year 12
The Rolleston College academic vision for a year 12 learner is dedicated to fostering the growth of individual strengths in more specialised areas while simultaneously encouraging students to consider their future pathways.
Emphasising positive engagement in learning, the vision promotes the development of independence in academic pursuits, preparing students to navigate their educational journeys with confidence. It underscores the importance of keeping both academic and vocational pathways open to ensure a wide array of career choices, allowing learners to pursue their passions.
Ultimately, the vision encourages year 12 learners to strive for academic excellence as they embark on the next phase of their educational and professional lives.

Our year 12 learners are all now well on the path to gaining their Level 2 NCEA qualification. You may have noticed an increase in assessments towards the end of this term for some courses. Remind your teenager that reviewing their learning each night will 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. It’s essential for learners to consistently prioritise their academic efforts throughout the year to ensure they achieve their personal best.

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.
A reminder that Level 2 results are used when applying for tertiary pathways such as university scholarships, some courses and halls of residence. 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 (linked below) and checking the NCEA Assessment Calendar.
