Week 9 Term One
NCEA Level 1
Five things to remember for NCEA Level 1 Ākonga/Students:
- Get digital - check you school email often and when you get your NCEA login details - log in and SAVE YOUR DETAILS!
- Get credits - often and all through the year. 80 is a big target so get going!
- Get credits that are linked to your pathway - imagine your academic journey as a long walk down a wide valley that doesn't lead to a single career, but rather a whole lot of options linked to your PASSIONS (Are you a healer? An adventurer? An analyst? A problem solver?).
- Get the best you can get - Merit and Excellence MATTER - do the best you can in every course and every standard, IT WILL GIVE YOU OPTIONS!
- Get HELP - the only shame is in not asking when you don't understand - please come and see Mr Pera at any point to help you out with ANYTHING related to NCEA!
Now watch this video and have a great weekend! https://www.nzqa.govt.nz/ncea/..
