Consultation Process – NCEA Level 1:

Rotch Kay —

As has been advised previously Ashburton College is undertaking a comprehensive consultation process to consider if Ashburton College will retain NCEA Level 1 as aprimary focus for our Year 11 students.

As part of this process, we are seeking the input of current and former students, whānau,employers and our staff. 

We are reviewing the role that this qualification plays in supporting the best outcomes for ourstudents and asking related questions like:

  •  What are the benefits and limitations of NCEA Level 1?
  •  Do all of our students need to complete NCEA Level 1?
  •  Are we supporting student well-being?
  •  How does NCEA Level 1 support our Vision?

While our focus is very much on Ashburton College, this is a conversation which is taking place insecondary schools and their communities around New Zealand.


As part of this process we will host several hui, as follows:

  •  Tuesday 31 May     7:00pm College Auditorium
  •  Thursday 02 June 10:00am Hakatere Marae
  •  Thursday 02 June   2:00pm College Auditorium
  •  Thursday 02 June   7:00pm Hakatere Marae
  •  Friday 03 June      10:00am College Auditorium
  •  Saturday 11 June    2:00pm College Auditorium


If you are interested in hearing more, we invite and strongly encourage you to attend one of these hui to gain information and to provide feedback to us at College.

It is anticipated the hui will be for approximately one hour.

An opportunity to share your thoughts will also be made available via a survey in the near future.
