Our vision is to encourage all of our students to become confident, connected, culturally aware, actively involved and accomplished lifelong learners. Gisborne Girls’ High students are young women of integrity and self-reliance. They are able to relate effectively with others and are eager to take responsibility as citizens of their local, national and global communities. He Kura Ao, He Ao Kura, Ko Turanga Wāhine. An educated world is a precious world; that’s Gisborne Girls’ High School.

Be careful that you check the subjects that you MUST study to follow the further study or career of your choice. Put these into your programme first, and then look at the exciting options left.

When considering your future directions have a look at the Future Career Ideas shown on each faculty pathway. Remember that it is often a combination of subject areas that best prepares you for any particular career idea or industry sector so you do not have to specialise too soon – keep your options open.

CHOOSING YOUR OWN COURSE

FACULTIES

THE SENIOR CURRICULUM

NCEA involves standards-based assessment. National standards have been set in each learning area and each standard is worth a set number of credits. When a student achieves a standard they earn credits towards their NCEA qualification. With achievement standards a student can gain standards with achieved, merit or excellent grades. With unit standards the credits can usually only be “achieved”.

In each learning area, different aspects of skills, knowledge and understanding are assessed separately. Some are assessed externally (often this means examinations) while others involve internal assessment. A selection of internally-assessed standards will be checked by National Moderators each year to make sure assessment practice is fair and consistent.

You can achieve your NCEA certificate with Merit or Excellence. To gain NCEA with Excellence you need to achieve at least 50 credits at excellence level.

To gain a NCEA with Merit you need to achieve at least 50 credits with either merit or excellence. You can also gain endorsement in individual subjects by gaining 14 credits at either achieved, merit or excellence level. In most subjects you must gain at least 3 credits from external assessment.

OUR VISION

MULTI LEVEL STUDY

Students may study at any level so long as they meet the entry requirements of the subject.

The timetable will be constructed based on the subjects chosen by the students. Whether a course will run depends on the number of students who have opted for it. Some courses may be cancelled and students guided into new courses.

POLICY As a school we try to keep costs as low as possible whilst still providing the opportunities that students require to get the most out of their courses. In some courses there is a cost component that students are asked to contribute. These can be for the purchase of the ‘take-home’ product(s) that students complete during the course or for a contribution towards trip costs which enable the students to experience activities offsite to enrich the course. All students who select these courses are asked to make this contribution however if a student is having problems meeting these costs they should talk to their Form Teacher or Dean.

COURSE COST CONTRIBUTION

There may be the option to study a course offered by GBHS that is not available at GGHS. As our timetables are similar we are able to offer a wider range of subjects as well as cope with student choices better by alleviating many subject clashes that occur. Students who wish to apply to take a Boys’ High course will need to discuss this with their Dean.

COURSES AT GISBORNE BOYS'

GBHS

OTHER NATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSES: It is possible to take other National Certificate Courses through the Careers Faculty. Examples of these are Agriculture and Forestry. These courses can be taken as independent study programmes, or block courses. If there is something you are interested in see Mrs Graham, HOF Careers.

MATHS FACULTYMATHEMATICS

Mathematics and Statistics-Tē tōia, tē haumatiaNothing can be achieved without a plan, workforce and way of doing

In Mathematics and Statistics , students explore relationships in quantities, space and data and learn to express these relationships in ways that help them to make sense of the world around them. These two disciplines are related but require different ways of thinking to solve problems. Both equip students with effective means for investigating, interpreting and explaining situations. Mathematicians and Statisticians use symbols, graphs, and diagrams to help them find and communicate patterns and relationships, and they create models to represent both real-life and hypothetical situations. These situations are drawn from a wide range of social , cultural, scientific , technological, health , environmental , and economic contexts.

STATISTICS

CALCULUS

Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space, and time.

Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data.

Calculus is the study of how mathematics can be used to investigate, interpret and explain the universe around us.

SCIENCE FACULTYSCIENCE Mate whakaaro nui e hanga te whare; ma te matauranga e whakaO.

Big ideas create the house; knowledge maintains it.

Science is a way of investigating, understanding, and explaining our natural, physical world and the wider universe. It involves generating and testing ideas, gathering evidence -including by making observations, carrying out investigations and modelling and communicating and debating with others - in order to develop scientific knowledge, understanding and explanations.

SCIENCE

BIOLOGY

CHEMISTRY

PHYSICS

PSYCHOLOGY

Science is about understanding the world around us. Students learn to carry out investigations, research ideas and use their knowledge to solve problems.

Biology is the study of living things, their structure, function, origin and evolution.

Chemistry involves the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Understanding the composition and properties of atoms and molecules.

Physics provides explanations for a wide range of ideas, including light, sound, heat, electricity, waves forces and motion, united by the concept of energy that cannot be created or destroyed.

Psychology is the scientific study of all forms of human and animal behaviour, sometimes concerned with the methods through which behaviour can be modified.

FUTURE CAREER IDEASThis is a special course designed to help prepare Year 12 and 13 students for the study of Psychology, Social Work and a wide range pathways at a tertiary level.

Physics leads to many options when going on to tertiary study, including Health Studies, Aviation, Computer Programming, Engineering and Pharmacy.

Chemistry leads to many options when going on to tertiary study, including Health Studies, Nursing, Veterinary Science, Engineering and Pharmacy.

Biology leads to many options when going on to tertiary study including Health Studies, Horticulture, Nursing, Veterinary Science and Pharmacy.

Most jobs need a good science background including Hairdressing, Motor mechanics, or any job working with plants or animals. The Senior Sciences lead to many options

when going to university, including Health Studies and Horticulture.
