Curriculum
Botany Downs Secondary College implemented NCEA in 2006, which has a mixture of internal assessments and rigorous external examinations. NCEA allows students the opportunities to excel in their own areas of strength. The reporting of individualised results, instead of giving a mark, provides a breakdown of student attainment in every aspect of the subject. Thus giving both students and parents more accurate information upon which to make decisions about future option choices and career pathways. These option booklets found on the website will contain further information for you to familiarise yourself with NCEA.
