Year 11 into Year 12

For Year 12, you need to choose courses that should be equivalent to six full-year courses. 

When making your choices:

• If you have not gained level 1 literacy, you must choose an English course.
• If you are intending to go to University, you will need to include English unless the courses you choose include standards that meet University Entrance Literacy requirements (check at this  link)
• The remainder of your subjects should be chosen from Year 12 options, or Year 11 options if you don’t meet the criteria for year 12.
• When you choose your subjects, try to identify the four courses that are your highest priority - those that will be the most important for your future plans. It is very important that you make your priority order based on your career pathway. If a subject is essential for your plans, you need to make higher up your priority list. 
• Choose a reserve subject in case we cannot timetable your preferred subject choices. You can include level 1 subjects as a reserve subject.

Note: All of our courses are dependent on having enough students to run a class and having staff that can teach the subject.

Sometimes courses are over-subscribed. When that happens places may be allocated according to your order of subject choice, students’ previous courses, or by ballot. If you do not complete your selection online by the required date you might not be able to choose courses that are over-subscribed.

Next steps

Once you are clear what next year looks like for you, log in (top right) access the navigation menu again and this time select Course Selection. 

PLEASE NOTE - the system will not go live for course selections until AFTER the Option Expo on 8th August.

This will then bring up a sub-menu for you to look at all of the courses. 

If you are not signed in, you will see all the courses we offer at MBC. Once you are signed in, you will see only the courses relevant and available to you.

If you click on View Courses for Me. you will see a list of all the courses that you could choose from. 

Please note - the ability to actually select choices will not be switched on until the end of week 3 of term 3.

You don't have to commit immediately to a course. We have a lot of available courses for you at MBC and you will need time to find out whether you want to study that particular course. To help. you have the option of marking a subject as a favourite.

When you click on My Favourite Courses button, the courses you selected will be there for you, making it easier for you to focus on the courses that you are most interested in.

I'm still confused...

The above information should help you to find your way round the site. At MBC you can get support from your whānau teacher. There will be special whānau sessions to show you how to find out about courses and course selection.

If you are still lost and confused, there are some videos and additional resources in the Help section on the menu. You can click here to open a separate window to access this support.
