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. The staff at Taupo-nui-a-Tia College have been working very hard this year to see what NCEA could look like in 2024 and beyond with level 1 being a compulsory implementation under the new refresh.  

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.

What is NCEA and How Does it Work in 2024?

You will have achieved an NCEA level when you meet the following requirements:

NCEA Level 1: 60 credits required at any level 1 in addition to  literacy and numeracy requirements

Literacy requirements are met by either; achieving in both the reading and writing common assessment activities Or achieving 10 credits in specifically tagged literacy achievement standards 

Numeracy requirements are met by either; achieving in the numeracy common assessment activity Or achieving 10 credits in specifically tagged numeracy achievement standards

Note: Any credits used to meet numeracy or literacy requirements do not count in the 60 required to gain level 1 NCEA.
