Certificates of Excellence Awards for 2017
New Zealand Association of Language Teachers Certificates of Excellence Awards
Each year the New Zealand Association of Language Teachers rewards high-achieving students, who sit NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3 Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish as a second language, with a Certificate of Excellence to recognise their achievements. In each Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 language course, there are five Achievement Standards which involve listening, reading, speaking and writing. To qualify for a Certificate of Excellence, 14 or more credits at Excellence level, including at least 3 from externally assessed Standards and 3 from internally assessed standards, are required. Grades for the 2017 NCEA internal and external assessments resulted in eight PNBHS students qualifying for Certificates of Excellence.
