How NCEA works - te reo Māori transcript

1. Kia ora, tēna koe...

I hangaia tēnei kiriata kia mārama pū koe

ki te NCEA...te tohu mātauranga matua

mo ngā ākonga kei ngā kura tuarua

puta noa i Aotearoa.

Kia ora, hello … This film is designed to help you understand NCEA … the main qualification for secondary school kids in New Zealand.

2. Ko te tikanga o te NCEA

ko te Taumata Mātauranga-ā-motu Kua Taea.

E toru ngā taumata,

arā, ko te Taumata 1,

te Taumata 2

me te Taumata 3.

NCEA stands for the National Certificate of Educational Achievement. And it comes in three levels – cleverly named ... 1, 2 & 3.

3. Ko ngā tino wahanga o te

Taumata Mātauranga-ā-motu Kua Taea

ko te paerewa (standards)

me te whiwhinga (credit).

Ki te tutuki i tētahi…… ka whakaeke ki tēra atu.. 

The key ingredients in NCEA are things called standards and credits. One leads to the other.

4. I ngā wā ō mua

kua noho koe i tētahi whakamātautau i te mutunga o te tau,

e toru hāora te roa,

hei whakaatu tāu akonga mo tetahi marau…

mmm...he tata noa tērā

ki te tekau ma rima meneti wā akonga,

mō ia marama o te tau

In the old days you sat a single three-hour exam at the end of the year to find out what you’d learned in a subject – mmm … that’s about 15 minutes per month.

5. I roto i te Taumata Mātauranga-ā-motu Kua Taea,

ka tū tonu ngā whakamātautau ā motu

i te mutunga o te tau

(ka whakahua he aromatawai-ā-waho)...

hēoi anō ka tāea hoki te whakamātau, te aromatawai rānei

i a koe i waenganui i te tau,

arā, he aromatawai-ā-roto tēnei

nā te mea ka mahi “ki roto” i te akomanga.

With NCEA, there are still important national exams at the end of the year (we sometimes call it external assessment)… but you can also be tested, or assessed, throughout the year – that’s called internal assessment because it happens “in” school.

6. Te āhua nei he maha ake ngā mahi,

ēngari e kore e taea te whakamātautau i etahi mahi

ma te whakamātautau ā tuhi noa iho.

He aha te putake o te tuhi noa iho

e pā ana ki tētahi whakamātau pūtaiao,

mena ka taea e koe te mahi

i te whakamātau i roto i te akomanga putaiao

He aha ano te putake o te tuhinga mihimihi

ina ka taea e koe te tu ki te mihi i roto i te reo Maori?

It may sound like a lot more work ... but let’s face it, there are some things you can't test in a sit-down exam – Why just write about a science experiment… when you could do the experiment in the lab and see the real results… Why write about delivering your mihi in te reo Māori when you could do it for real?

7. I roto i te Taumata Mātauranga-ā-motu Kua Taea,

kua wāwahingia ngā marau

kia hāngai ki ngā mea me mōhio koe,

arā , ko ngā paerewa ēnei.

With NCEA, subjects are divided up into all the things you need to know – they’re called standards … because they set the standard.

8. Mo ia paerewa

ka riro ko ētahi whiwhinga.

Waihoki,

ka whakawhiwiwhia ki te tohu mātauranga mutunga.

Each standard is worth credits – and credits count towards the final qualification.

9. Nā konā

me mahue kē te whakamātautau kotahi,

e toru haora te roa

mo te marau reo Pākeha.

Nā whai anō, ka aromatawai i a koe

me ngā wahanga paearu pēnei

i te tuhi i tētahi reta,

Hākipia,

te hanga i tētahi kiriata

me te tū ki te whaikōrero.

Ka whakamātautauhia ētahi o ēnei

i te mutunga tau, ā,

ko ētahi atu

ka mahi i waenganui i te tau.

It means that instead of doing a one three-hour exam on the whole subject of English … you could be assessed in separate standards about writing a business letter, Shakespeare, making a film, and giving speech… some of these will be tested in an exam at the end of the year ... and some will be assessed during the year.

Kia whiwhia I tetahi Taumata Mātauranga a motu Kua taea me kohi e koe, me pēke ranei

I ngā whiwhinga- kia waru tekau.

To get one of the NCEA qualifications – you need to collect, or bank … enough credits … 80 to be precise.

10. Engari, kaua e māharahara,

ka tāea e koe te hangai tonu ki āu whiwhinga i roto i te tau,

neke atu i te tau kotahi rānei.

Ka mutu,

ki te riro i a koe nga whiwhinga,

ka mau tonu i a koe mo ake tonu atu.

Ka tāea hoki te kautehia āu whiwhinga

i a koe e mahi ana.

But there's no need to panic, you can build up credits during the year – or even over more than one year – and once you've got credits, they last forever. And you can keep track of how many credits you’re stacking up as you go along.

11. Ka whakaatu āu māka

ngā whiwhinga kua riro i a koe.

Heoti he whānui, he hohonu ake hoki ngā korero

ki tērā o te “Taumata Mātauranga-ā-motu Kua Taea Taumata tahi-Hipa”

When you get your results, you’ll know how many credits you’ve got – but your results tell you a lot more than just – “NCEA level 1, passed”.

12. Ko te āhua o tāu Pānui Māka, he pēnei:

ka whakaatu i ngā māka mo ia paerewa;

he pu kei te taha o ia paerewa-

N,

A,

M,

E

Kao, ehara ko tēnei te wāhi hei waitohu i tāu ingoa.

Your Results Notice looks like this: It shows the result for each standard – with a letter next to each one - N, A, M, E – and no, that’s not where you sign your name.

13. Ko te tikanga o ia pu

ko te Not Achieved-kore whiwhi,

Achieved-Paetae,

Merit-Kaiaka,

Excellence-Kairangi.

Kaore e kore kei te mohio kē koe

ki te tikanga o te Kore whiwhi.

Ko tā te Paetae, Kaiaka me te Kairangi

he tohu i te taumata o ngā mahi

kua oti i a koe mo taua paerewa..

They stand for Not Achieved, Achieved, Merit, and Excellence. You can probably guess what Not Achieved means ... Achieved, Merit and Excellence tell you how well you did in reaching the standard.

14. Kia maumahara i ēnei rā

ko te tikanga o te E he Excellence.

Akuanei pea me whakamōhio atu ki ōu mātua,

i te mea i a rātou i te kura,

he tohu kino kē te pu E.

The thing to remember is that these days - E – is for Excellence! It might pay to let your parents know that – when they were at school, if you got an E it was bad news…

15. E kore rawa e riro whiwhinga ake

mō te Kaiaka me te Kairangi,

ēngari me whāia tonu e koe te iti kahurangi.

You won't get more credits for getting Merits and Excellences but there are good reasons for aiming high.

16. Menā he maha rawa āu whiwhinga Kaiaka, Kairangi rānei-

Rima tekau pū-

ka āpiti atu he Kaiaka, Kairangi rānei

ki tāu tohu Matauranga

He tumomo kaupapa whakamana i tāu kaha

ki te tutuki pai i ngā mahi,

ā, ka kitea e te marea.

If you get enough credits with Merits or Excellences - 50 to be exact - you'll get Merit or Excellence included in your NCEA qualification - it's called an endorsement … and everyone will know how well you've done.

17. Nā reira,

ahakoa ka tutuki i a koe e waru tekau ngā whiwhinga,

me whaia tonu ko ngā whiwhinga i kō atu, i kō mai.

That will tell people you mean business… It's a good reason to keep aiming for credits, even after you've reached 80.

18. He hua anō tō te Kaiaka me te Kairangi

i roto i ngā akoranga ake, marau ake rānei.

Merits and Excellences can also be useful if you're doing well in particular courses or subjects.

19. He mea hou te kaupapa whakamana Akoranga,

ā, e whakaatu ana

kua tunga koe

ki roto i tētahi marau,i tētahi kaupapa,i tētahi akoranga rānei.

Course Endorsement is something new that tells people you are especially good at a particular subject or course.

20. Ki te riro i a koe,

tekau ma wha ngā whiwhinga Kairangi

i roto i tētahi akoranga,

pēnei i te pāngarau, pūoro rānei,

ka kaupapa whakamana taua akoranga mā te Kairangi.

If you get 14 credits with Excellence in a particular course … say maths, or music … you will have that course endorsed with Excellence.

21. Ki te pānui tētahi i ngā hua o āu mahi,

ka kite rātou kua eke panuku koe

i roto i ngā marau pāngarau, pūoro rānei.

Tēnā pea, ko ngā marau e rua.

Anyone who reads your results will see you’ve done particularly well at maths, or music… or even both.

22. Hei te wā ka wehe koe mai i te kura,

he mea nui ki te whakaatu i ēnei māka ki ngā tāngata-

mō te whai mahi,

ki te haere koe ki tētahi wāhi whakapiki mātauranga rānei.

That will come in handy when you’re showing results to people after you’ve left school – for work or going somewhere else to study.

23. He rite tāu wā i te kura

ki tērā o tētahi haerenga ...

i te timatanga ka whakaaro pea he tauhou koe ki te whenua hēoi anō, ka waia haere koe ki te wāhi.

Ka mutu, ka ngana koe

ki te whakatōmene ki ngā wāhi hou,

i ngā whakaaro hou hoki.

Your time at secondary school is bit like a journey … it might start off feeling like your in a foreign land but you soon start becoming more familiar with the territory. And you'll want to explore new places and ideas…

24. Ā, pērā anō ki ngā haerenga katoa,

me mohio koe e haere ana koe ki hea,

me mau hoki i tētahi mahere,

kia tāea e koe te whakamahere

me pēhea ka tae ki reira.

Me matua mōhio koe

ko ngā marau e ākona ana

ka para i tāu huarahi tika.

Ae, he rawe te whai i ngā whiwhinga maha.

Hēoi,

Me whakaarohia hoki ki ngā marau ka tika me nga whiwhinga.

Just like any journey … it helps to have an idea where you want to go - and a map - so you can plan how to get there. You want to know the subjects you're studying are taking you in the right direction. Getting as many credits as you can is great – but it's important to think about what subjects you’re getting credits in.

25. Mēna kei te arotahi koe ki tētahi mahi

ki tētahi akoranga whare wananga rānei,

me riro i a koe ngā whiwhinga i roto i ngā paearu

ka whaihua ai ki tāu rangatira, whare wananga rānei.

Kia ū koe ki te ara tika.

If you’re aiming for a job or university course, you need to get credits in the standards that will be useful to employers or that the university will expect to see in your results. Make sure you’re on the right path.

26. Kia maumahara,

ahakoa kua riro i a koe tāu kuhunga ki Te Whare Wananga,

kaore pea e taea e koe te whakauru ki ngā akoranga e hiahia ana koe.

I ēnei rā e tumanakohia ana ngā Whare Wananga

he Kairangi te nuinga o āu māka.

Koia hoki tētahi take kia whaia tonu i ngā taumata teitei ki rō Kura.

And remember - just because you’ve got University Entrance doesn’t mean you can just turn up for any university course you like. These days Universities want to see lots of Es in your results. Another good reason for aiming high.

27. Nā reira,

kia maumahara ki ēnei kaupapa hirahira

So – a couple of important things to remember.

28. Ata whakaarohia i ngā paerewa e ako ana koe i te kura inaianei,

Kia whai i ngā mahi e hiahia ana koe

i te wehenga mai i te kura.

Make sure the standards you are studying are going to give you the results you need to do what you want to do when you leave school.

29. *Natemea kua whakamanahia te Taumata Mātauranga-a- motu Kua Taea huri noa i te ao ka taea e koe te whai matauranga i nga whare wananga o te ao

30. Me arotahi

kia eke panuku āu māka-

kia maha rawa ngā māka Kaiaka, Kairangi rānei.

And make sure you’re are getting your best possible results – as many Excellences or Merits as possible.

31. Mēna he pātai āu,

kōrero ki ngā tohunga:

Pātai atu ki āu kaiako,
