Year 13 Physical Education Assessment Programme

assessed by:
Internal assessment:- assignments and activities carried out
throughout the year at the college
In year 13 physical education you are assessed against 6
achievement standards. Each has a credit weighting. When you
gain credit for an achievement standard the credits contribute towards your NCEA. You also gain
different grades for each achievement standard: Achieved, Merit, Excellence. The grade you achieve
is determined by the quality of your work as measured against national standards.

http://www.mcglashan.school.nz/academic/ncea.
2. RESUBMISSIONS: There is no re-assessment in physical education in 2017 only
resubmissions. If the need arises and a student is close to achieving the standard and
answers need clarification then that shall be done in the presence of a staff member. This
could be done verbally or in writing and will be completed in one class period or equal
amount of time after school.
3. EXTENSIONS: STUDENT ASSESSMENT EXTENSION APPLICATION form is available on
