School Leavers Challenge

Context

Our challenge is to ensure that at least 85% of school leavers achieve at least NCEA Level 2 in preparation for their futures. Our 2015 data from the 6 schools in Tipu Maia that offer secondary education shows that overall rates for Leavers with at least NCEA Level 2 were at 75%. Rates overall, including Boys and MAori had dropped between 2013 and 2015.
2016 Leavers with NCEA Level 2 or above data is more encouraging. However, boys are more likely to leave school at a younger age (29% or 22/76 boys leave at 16 years), compared to girls (13% or 9/67). 

Baseline Data

  • Our 2015 data from the 6 schools in Tipu Maia that offer secondary education shows that overall rates for Leavers with at least NCEA Level  2 were at 75%. Boys (62%) and Maori students (60%) were leaving school with lower rates of Level 2 than Girls (87%). Rates overall, including Boys and Maori had dropped between 2013 and 2015.
  • In 2016, the overall rates for Leavers with Level 2 had risen to 81% (118/146) including Maori Leaver rates at 82% or 14/17 leavers.
  • Overall gender data in 2016 shows rates for Girls (89%) remains higher than Boys (74%) although this diversity is not represented across all schools.
  • It is acknowledged that percentage data can change markedly with small cohorts.

Targets: School Leavers with NCEA Level 2

  • All Students:
We aim to increase the number of leavers with NCEA Level 2 qualifications from 81% (118/146) to at least 90% (131/146) by 2020. This represents a shift of 9% (13 students). We note that some leavers may gain Level 2 post-leaving for meaningful employment opportunities.
Further inquiry is needed into the qualification rates and the destinations of our leavers to ensure they are equipped to transition to their selected pathways.We aim to gather a richer understanding of students pathways beyond secondary schooling, including participation and success in tertiary education and training rates, especially for boys at age 16 years.
  • Boys:
We aim to continue to lift the achievement or our boy leavers from 74% (57/77) students to 90% (69/77) by the end of 2020. This is a shift of 16% (12 students).
  • Maori:
We aim to lift the achievement of our Maori leavers from 82% (14/17) to 88% (15/17) by the end of 2020. This will require maintaining the 2016 gains over time. This is a shift of 8% (1 student).
