This is in order to allow our visual arts students to use terminology and assessment protocols that will naturally lead to NCEA Level 1 and beyond. If students are succeeding with the assessments they are working at Level 5 of the New Zealand Curriculum and have the foundational skills and knowledge to aid them in attaining at Level 1 NCEA at Year 11.
