LearnWell resources for NCEA Level 1

Year 11 and NCEA is in a state of change. New Achievement Standards were introduced in 2024 and it has now been announced that these will expire at the end of 2027.  

The academic year of 2028 will see the introduction of the new New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) at Year 11 alongside the Foundational Award.   

So, leading up to that time, we are aware that schools are all choosing the paths that best suits their learners. Below we outline how you can resource your students during this time of change. 

2024 Achievement Standards (AS): In some Science and Commerce AS we have new printed Learning Guides as well as LearnWell Digital choices. 

And below we have updated our resource maps of our existing resources to help you select the most suitable tools for your learners. You may need to use more than one of our current resources to fully meet the requirements of a new standard. 

School Customised Programmes: As you develop programmes tailored to your learners you can choose the relevant products from our full range. Many schools continue to use the quality resources for their Year 11 classes. 

Customised Books: We can also create customised workbooks using our existing resources. Pricing will depend on the quantity ordered, and they will be printed as a one-off run. Email hello@learnwell.co.nz for more information.

2028+: We are planning how to best meet the needs of schools as they work towards the Foundational Award alongside the development of the new NZC.

New NCEA Achievement Standards: There was an update to the Level 1 Achievement Standards in 2024.  New publishing reflects these new study and assessment requirements. The best way to check which resource you need is to ask your student or by using  the five digit number of the AS e.g. 92020

 

Expired NCEA Achievement Standards: These are the Achievement Standards that were retired in 2024. However, many schools are choosing to create their own Year 11 courses in place of NCEA Level 1. They often use the pre-2024 AS as the basis of the learning and assessment. The best way to check which resource you need is to ask your student or by using  the five digit number of the AS e.g. 91924
