The New Zealand education system is currently in the process of great change. The New Zealand Curriculum refresh is reinvigorating our current status quo so that schools and communities are better supported to do what they do best: create rich and responsive learning that helps every ākonga realise their goals and aspirations. See the below link for more information regarding the changes. The staff at Taupo-nui-a-Tia College have been working very hard this year to see what NCEA could look like in 2024 with level 1 being a compulsory implementation under the new refresh. This year however, we remain reporting as we currently have been in the past. The 2023 subject reports show your child’s entry into NCEA standards so far this year.
Use the KAMAR parent/student (http://www.taupocollege.ac.nz) logon to;
- Regularly monitor your total NCEA credits
- Go to Course Outlines/NCEA Assessment outlines for level 1, 2 or 3.
If you have concerns or questions about your child’s progress, please make an appointment with the relevant teachers.
