Extension Pathway Year 11 Levels 1 & 2 Year 12 Levels 2 & 3 Year 13 Level 3 & Scholarship The senior extension courses work in the same principle as junior extension classes. In Year 11, students complete NCEA Level 1 and 2 work In Year 12, they do NCEA Level 2 and 3 work In Year 13, they will have met their Level 3 requirement pretty early on, which means they will have their final year focusing on scholarship exams. I will now invite Mr Cachopa to talk about why scholarships should be the academic goal of our extension boys.

What are Table A and Table B? Classical Studies Biology English Chemistry Geography Accounting History Economics History of Art Mathematics* Te Reo Maori OR Calculus Te Reo Rangatira Statistics Physics What is Table A & B? Differentiate between TABLE A AND B/subjects approved by NZQA The University has devised a table listing English rich subjects and Sciences, Maths etc. It is used as a method of selection for degrees such as the Health Sciences where students need to have the ability to write and and have a science background. These are also considered to be core academic subjects. So for example the Business degree requires students to have taken 3 subjects from A & or B. Many degrees don’t even have subject requirements – only the ones on the previous slide. Check your prospectus to see exactly how many credits are required. *Cannot be used in combination with Calculus and/or Statistics. Note: Table A & B only apply to some programmes. It is not the basis of the rank score calculation.
