Welcome to the Level 2 Health Education (HP2000) course offered by Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu.

Teachers at Te Kura are available to help students outside of school hours. If your teacher is not available, please leave a message with details about how they can contact you, or call the receptionist and ask for another Health teacher. Ring as soon as possible if you are unable to send work back for more than a few weeks. If you do nothing, you will be removed from the course and it will be extremely difficult to get back on the roll. Remember, your teacher is there to help!

overview of hp2000This course follows on from HP1000 with further exploration into the Health applications of understanding changing states of health and evaluating sexuality. It also provides you with the opportunity to research and consider contemporary Health Education issues, and carry out practical investigations surrounding them.

The Health standards offer 20 credits towards the National Certificate in Educational Achievement, NCEA Level 2. There are three internal standards worth 15 credits and one external standard worth five credits. The Health topics offer 15 Literacy credits.

You may wish to do only some topics. You should discuss this with your Health and Physical Education teacher. You should consider how well this will meet your learning goals and whether it will meet the specific course entry requirements of any future study you may do, and whether you will be able to gain enough credits to achieve your NCEA.

Course endorsement is not available for this course.

selecting your programme contentWhen you have read through the Course and assessment guide, contact your teacher to discuss the order in which you want to do this programme. Then complete HP2000PLA (a planning sheet to show your programme of learning) and post it back to your teacher.

Successful students stay in touch! When you study at Te Kura you are not on your own; by staying in touch with your teacher, you increase your chance of success.

1 welcome to hp2000


how this course is delivered HP2000 is a print-based course, with course material and supplementary material accessed from the online teaching and learning environment (OTLE). Dual enrolled students are expected to access material from OTLE. Other enrolled students may request printed materials to be posted, accepting there will be a delay between enrolment and receiving the first posting.

You will receive an email explaining how to log in to OTLE. This email includes a link to set your password if you have not logged into the OTLE before.

You can access OTLE by clicking on www.tekura.school.nz/login. It is recommended that you bookmark this site in your browser. This will take you to a page with links to your courses.

Your username and initial password is your Te Kura student ID number. You will be asked to set a new password when you first log in. After that, if you need to reset your password you can click on the ‘Forgot password’ link on the OTLE login page. If you have difficulties logging in, please email: [email protected]

organising your studyPlan a regular time to study. Some people learn best from frequent short sessions while others do better with fewer, longer sessions. It is important to have a plan or a timetable and to keep to it.

You may wish to consult with your subject teacher to help you decide on your plan.

Getting your study underway is very important. Your first return of work should be two to three weeks after you first received your initial work. If you have any issues returning your work within this time please contact your subject teacher.

For more information on how to study successfully, refer to the Student’s Guide to Years 11–13 (www.tekura.school.nz).

te kura codesYour course code is HP2000. HP is the code for Health Education and 2000 refers to Level 2.

‘HP2010’ refers to the topic you are to be studying. HP2011 and HP2012 refer to booklets that cover the topic.‘HP2010Y1’ refers to the first assessment for an Achievement Standard (AS91236) for HP2000. ‘AS’ is the code for Achievement Standard.

resources you needYou will need:

• Te Kura booklets

• refill paper

• computer access, etc.

Each booklet will outline anything extra that is needed to complete that particular standard.

getting started information2


adult supervisorYour adult supervisor (coach) is a key to your success. Discuss their level of participation with the adult supervisor before they agree to take on this role. It is important that this person is prepared to make a commitment to your learning and success during the achievement standards that you work towards.

accessing community agencies for health topicsThis course requires you to access community agencies that can provide information or support to you or others.

Options for accessing community agencies include using the internet to search for agencies in your area. You can also use your local directory, phone book or Citizens Advice Bureau.

online learningThose students who are able to gain access to a computer can use the internet and OTLE for extra help. The Health OTLE page supports the learning and provides a range of interactive activities.

self-marking Many activities are self-marked. When working through the booklets, highlight or tick your work if it is correct and add any extra information. If your answer is different from the one in the Answer guide, add the corrections and check that you understand the differences. Contact your teacher if you do not. Self-marking is very important as it gives you instant feedback on how well you understand the ideas, concepts or information that have been covered.

assessmentStudents are required to send in their self-marked booklets as well as their internal assessments. Your assessment work will be kept for NCEA moderation purposes. This is done to ensure that the awarding of NCEA standards is fair and consistent. If you would like to talk about this or would like a copy of your work, please contact your teacher and ask for a copy.

Your internal assessments will be sent to you when you have completed and submitted the booklets that help you to work towards that standard.

Internal assessments for this course include but are not limited to:

• written assessments

• practical activities/logs

• video evidence.

The criteria for Achievement Standards will be given in this booklet. They can also be found by searching the subject and level in the NCEA part of the NZQA website (www.nzqa.govt.nz) and then finding the relevant standard(s). If there are two assessment opportunities for an Achievement Standard, one is called ‘Y1’ and the other is called ‘Y2’. The first assessment is called ‘Y1’ for an achievement standard and the further assessment opportunity is called ‘Y2’. For example, HP2010Y1 is one assessment for AS91326 and the further assessment opportunity is HP2010Y2.

getting started information


External assessment preparation includes:

• practice external assessments

• Te Kura practice examinations.

time commitmentThere are four booklets in this course. Each contains a note on the front cover indicating how many hours the topic is likely to take. For example, booklet HP2011 may take 20 hours of work to complete at the normal pace, representing about four weeks of work. Before deciding on the pace of learning, read through this Course and assessment guide and ask yourself the following:

• How much time can I set aside for study each week?

• Will I be able to keep a steady pace of five hours of study each week?

• What do I want to do next year? How many credits will I need to do this?

• Will I be doing externally and internally assessed standards?

• Will I be prepared to sit the external examination at the end of the year?

• Will I need specific external or internal credits as a prerequisite for next year’s study or work?

normal pace of learningAs a guide, expect to do at least five hours work per week. This means completing three to four booklets each term so that you complete the course before the external examinations at the end of the school year.

flexible pace of learningIf you have less than a year because you start later or need to finish earlier, you can decide the pace at which you work. You could still complete the whole course by devoting more time and effort to it. Your teacher can ensure that you receive the resources you need in time to do this.

choosing topics and standards You may wish to do only some topics. For example, you may only want to do internal standards in this course. You should discuss this with your learning advisor and/or teacher. You should consider how well this will meet your learning goals, whether it will meet the specific course entry requirements for tertiary institutions or any future study and whether you will be able to gain enough credits to achieve your NCEA.

cover sheetsDetach the back cover of the booklet; this becomes the cover sheet for your work. Fill it in, and sign it before sending it back to Te Kura. Your supervisor also signs this sheet as part of our authenticity requirements (this is required by all students).

All students are encouraged to submit as much as possible of their work online via the OTLE Dropbox. When work requires authentication, students will follow the instructions provided in OTLE.



queries about your workIt is important to contact your teacher if you have any queries about your work. It helps to have your ID number, booklet code (for example, HP2011) and the activity or question number when you contact your teacher, but this is not essential.

assessment information

standardsThe National Qualifications Framework has two types of national standards: Achievement and Unit Standards. Credits from both Achievement Standards and Unit Standards count towards NCEA. This HP2000 course will have Achievement Standards.

Please refer to our ‘Student Guide to National Certificates’ or Te Kura (www.tekura.school.nz) and NZQA websites (www.nzqa.govt.nz) for more information about National Certificates of Educational Achievement, and assessment.

internal assessmentAll Health Education Achievement Standards are internally assessed. This means that the teachers set and mark your assessments at the school.

further assessment opportunities for internal assessmentsFor some standards, you will be able to complete a second assessment called a further assessment opportunity (Y2) to improve your results. These standards are indicated in the course outline. You should take this opportunity where it is available.

resubmissionsIf you have made a small mistake in your assessment, your teacher may offer you a resubmission. This means you have made an error that you are capable of discovering and correcting by yourself. A resubmission allows you to improve your result.

authenticityAuthenticity means students complete and submit work that is their own. When you submit work to Te Kura, you sign an authentication declaration that the work you are submitting is your own work and was done under the required assessment conditions. Your supervisor signs this declaration to confirm this.

When submitting work online via the OTLE Dropbox, if it requires authentication, students must follow the instructions provided in OTLE.

derived grades (compassionate consideration)If for any unexpected reason you are not able to sit your end of year examination or to submit final work towards an external standard (portfolios or projects), you may be eligible for a derived grade. Please refer to the ‘Student Guide to National Certificates’ and contact your learning advisor as soon as possible to find out more should you feel this is necessary.

appealsYou have the right to query an assessment result if you want further clarification or disagree with the result. If you are still not satisfied, you may appeal. Refer to the ‘Student Guide to National Certificates’ for more information. You can also appeal any other decisions, procedures or policies about assessments. Contact your teacher or learning advisor if you wish to appeal. More information and a form that students can use to appeal is available on the Te Kura website in the Student toolkit area (www.tekura.school.nz and go to Student toolkit).
