Proposed Changes to NCEA
Dear Parents/Caregivers/Whanau, 

Important Update: Proposed Changes to NCEA

Today, the Minister of Education, Erica Stanford, has announced a significant proposal regarding the future direction of our national qualification, NCEA.

What’s happening?
The Ministry has opened consultation on proposed changes to NCEA. This means that over the coming weeks, schools and communities are invited to give feedback and help shape the final decisions.

Who is affected?
There will be no changes for students currently in Year 9 and above.
If the proposal is adopted, the first students to be affected will be those currently in Year 8, who would:

  • Complete a new Foundational Award in Year 11, and

  • Work towards new qualifications in Years 12 and 13.

Where to find more information
You can read more about the proposal here:

Proposed Changes to NCEA

We have also attached a parent information sheet to this email for your reference.

Want to talk about it?
While we don’t have any more details than what’s publicly available, we’re happy to support you in understanding how NCEA currently works and what these proposed changes might mean.

To help with this, I’ll be hosting a drop-in Morning Tea on Wednesday 20 August, from 9:00–10:00am in the staffroom. You’re warmly invited to come along for an informal chat and ask any questions you may have.

These changes could have a significant impact on many of our students, particularly those currently in Years 7 and 8. We encourage you to stay informed and be part of the consultation process.

Ngā mihi,

 
Alistair
