NCEA REVIEW Currently the Ministry of Education is conducting a review of NCEA which is open to all members of the community to have their say. We have been advertising this in our newsletter for the past few weeks. As this the time students are working through course selection for next year we would like to reassure parents that NCEA as it stands will still be in place next year (Yr 11-13) as it currently is. The review is around possible changes at year 11 in the future (2020 onwards), so next year's Year 11's will have no changes to the current structure of NCEA certificates.
