University Scholarship
Suitably gifted students at Rangiora New Life School are encouraged to sit these examinations at Level 4 of NCEA .
It has been most pleasing to see a number of them gain success at this very high level of achievement.
To achieve a New Zealand Scholarship, a student must achieve 72 Credits at Level 4 across 4 subjects.
The content for a scholarship is from Level 8 of the curriculum or from Level 3 Achievement Standards, providing a broader, more substantial challenge.
Scholarships are assessed through an end of year examination or from submission of student work for external assessment.
Achievement in one NZ Scholarship standard is equivalent to 24 NQF credits at level 4 for NCEA level 3 credit inclusions.
It is imperative that students receive good guidance about choices relating to NZ Scholarship. All students who are thinking about taking Scholarship subjects should talk to the Careers Advisor and the Head of Secondary.
