Year 11 NCEA Student and Parent Information Evening

February 19, 2026

Powered By Hail

Level 1 NCEA Students and Parents are welcome to join us on Tuesday 24 February from 6pm in the Aurora Centre.

New Zealand’s most common qualification in Secondary Schools – the National Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA) can be challenging to navigate if you are new to the process.

The purpose of this evening is to provide an opportunity to find out about how the qualification works and how to support your teen as they work through the year.

The focus for this evening will be on NCEA basics at Level 1, support and strategies to help each student reach their potential.

Topics covered will include:

  • What is NCEA

  • How does NCEA work

  • What are the requirements for Achieving Level 1 NCEA

  • Types of Standards and Assessments

  • Grades Awarded and Endorsements

  • Literacy and Numeracy Requirements

  • What to do if an assessment is missed

  • Managing workload

  • A Student’s perspective

  • Tips for Parents

It is anticipated that the presentation will take around one hour followed by questions.

We welcome students and their families, as there will be useful information for all. The slideshow from the presentation will be made available via our NCEA newsletter later this term.
