NCEA Literacy and Numeracy Corequisites assessments

Sharyn Whitlow —

Wednesday 14th June through to Friday 16th June is the assessment period for the NCEA corequisite reading, writing and numeracy assessments.

Who will be assessed using corequisites this year?

The assessment is aimed at Year 10.
Most Year 10 students and some Year 9 students will sit the Numeracy assessment in June. As Oxford Area School was a pilot school in 2022, approximately a third of our Year 10 students have already gained Numeracy. They will not be required to do this assessment again.
Most Year 10 students will attempt either the Reading or Writing assessment or both. A few Year 9 students will sit either one or both of these as well.

Parents and caregivers should have received an email today if their son/daughter is sitting one or more of the corequisites next week.

In Term 4, there will be another opportunity for students who have not gained, or did not sit, one or more of the corequisites.
A small number of Year 11 and above students may sit one or more of the corequisites if these support their 2023 NCEA goals.
