By Richard Harvey | Posted: Thursday April 10, 2025

As part of the NCEA changes, all students must now meet new literacy and numeracy requirements to achieve any level of NCEA.

As part of the NCEA changes, all students must now meet new literacy and numeracy requirements to achieve any level of NCEA. This involves gaining 10 credits each in literacy (5 reading, 5 writing) and numeracy through Common Assessment Activities (CAAs).

Only Year 10 students who have shown readiness through standardised testing will be entered for the May assessment window (Weeks 4 & 5, Term 2). Others will have the opportunity to sit in September or next year.

Important:
Year 11–13 students who have not yet met the literacy and numeracy requirements will also be entered into these assessments during Weeks 4 and 5. They have been sent an email with further details.

More information and resources for parents are available on our NCEA Co-requisite website. Students will also be supported through class preparation and assemblies next term.
