“Changes to Qualifications”

Mr Myles Hogarty

College Principal

Greetings,

The Minister of Education announced changes in the Senior school qualifications system that will be implemented for students in Years 11-13.

These changes will be introduced gradually over the next five Years, with our current Year 8 students being the first Year level to be assessed under the new qualification system.

At this stage the changes are open to submissions from schools, parents and public.

De La Salle will be making our submissions on these changes and the effects that they will have on our young men.

I have covered some of the main changes for your information. We will keep our young men and you informed of any further changes as these occur. As always we are motivated by providing our young men with learning and qualification programmes that will provide them with outstanding career opportunities.

A new qualification

NCEA would be replaced by three new qualifications that would be taken between Years 11 and 13.

A Foundational Skills Award would be introduced at Year 11 to recognise literacy and numeracy. This would replace NCEA Level 1.

Two new qualifications would replace NCEA Levels 2 and 3. The New Zealand Certificate of Education (NZCE) at Year 12, and the New Zealand Advanced Certificate of Education (NZACE) at Year 13.

Compulsory subjects

Students would be required to take English and Mathematics at Year 11, and sit a Foundation award (test) in numeracy and literacy.

This aligns with the new Foundational Skills Award that Year 11s would be required to sit.

Students would also have to take five subjects and pass at least four to attain a certificate in Years 12 and 13.

A new way of assessment

Under NCEA, students were marked as achieved, achieved with merit, or achieved with excellence.

Under the new proposal, that way of assessing students’ work ends.

Clear marks out of 100 would be the new way of assessing work, alongside letter grades (A-E). The Government says this will make student achievement easier to understand.

The standards-based assessment system would also be replaced with a subject-based approach that would require coherent learning programmes rather than a collection of individual standards.

Changes to start coming in from 2026

The changes would start in 2026, with a first cohort of new Year 9 students set to be taught under the new curriculum.

The new award and qualifications would then be phased in and sequenced in a way that would not disadvantage these students.

NCEA Level 1 would no longer be available from 2028, and a new Foundational Award would be introduced.

The new NZCE (for Year 12) would be introduced in 2029, replacing NCEA Level 2. NZCE (for Year 13) would be introduced in 2030, replacing NCEA Level 3.

Students who are currently Year 9 (in 2025) would continue to receive secondary school learning under the old curriculum and be assessed under NCEA Levels 1, 2, and 3.

Students who are currently Year 8 (in 2025) would begin to receive new curriculum learning from 2026 and will be assessed under the new award and qualifications.

Best wishes to all of our sports teams competing over the weekend. A reminder to all of our supporters that we are only positive in our sideline comments to all players and we make no comments towards officials and opposition supporters.

God Bless

NEW PLAN

Our current Strategic Plan is for 2022-2025. We are now in the process of reviewing that plan and creating a new one for 2026-2028. Its good to look back and see what we achieved in those three years. We rebuilt nearly 40% of all the classrooms by creating the new Saint Lasalle building. We achieved our best academic results in over 20 years. We achieved Auckland-wide and nationally in a range of areas, such as Young Enterprise, some sport, debating and in our overall pass rates which are now well above the norm for school like ours. The number of courses, activities and leadership opportunities such as camps, overseas trips and transition support increased significantly. We coped with 4 staff passing away in 4 terms. We recovered from covid. What has stood out in our review is that we have achieved nearly everything that we wrote done in the plan, so writing down our goals seems to be almost a guarantee that they will be reached.

So what do we want to write down in the new plan?. Where do we need to focus? Senior leadership, staff and a selection of students have had input into our new plan. Parents had some input during our Fono in Term 2 and will have another opportunity to contribute their ideas in an online survey. Our new BOT (after the September elections) will contribute to and sign off the plan in Term 4.

Thanks in advance for your contributions. All successful schools have strong partnerships with their families, so please contribute your ideas and focus as it will ensure a better outcome for our boys.

Assistant Principal Mission- Mrs Teuila Vaotuua

Dear Families

This week, we celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration — a moment in Scripture where Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain, and is transfigured before them. His face shines like the sun, and His clothes become dazzling white (Matthew 17:1–9). Moses and Elijah appear, representing the Law and the Prophets, and a voice from the cloud says,

"This is my Son, the Beloved; with Him I am well pleased; listen to Him."

For our young men here at De La Salle, this is more than just a powerful moment in the life of Christ — it is a story that speaks directly into our own lives, especially in this Year of Jubilee.

Seeing Beyond the Struggles

The disciples had followed Jesus closely, but they didn’t always understand His mission. The Transfiguration was a glimpse of His divine glory — a powerful reminder that despite what lay ahead (including the suffering of the Cross), there was purpose, light, and hope beyond the challenges.

In the same way, many of us face moments where we feel stuck — whether it’s schoolwork, family pressures, financial struggle, or even trying to figure out who we are and where we belong. The Transfiguration reminds us that God’s glory is not only found at the end of the journey, but often revealed along the way — especially on the mountain tops of prayer, reflection, and community.

Hope in the Year of Jubilee

The Catholic Church has declared this a Year of Jubilee — a time of renewal, healing, forgiveness, and hope. In the Old Testament, the Jubilee year was when debts were cancelled, land was restored, and prisoners were freed. It was a time to start again.

When Jesus was transfigured, He gave the disciples a glimpse of the “bigger picture” — and this year, we are invited to see the same. No matter our past or current struggles, we are offered a new beginning. The Transfiguration calls us to see ourselves and each other through God’s eyes — full of potential, beloved, and capable of greatness.

Climbing the Mountain Together

Mountains are never easy to climb. But like Peter, James, and John, we don’t climb alone. As a Lasallian school rooted in faith, brotherhood, and service, we walk this journey together. Our teachers, our friends, and our families all play a role in helping us reach those mountaintop moments — the ones where we finally see who we really are in God’s light.

Let us also be the ones who encourage others to keep climbing. Let us speak words of hope to our brothers, especially those who are struggling. And let us be still and listen — as the voice from heaven said — to the words of Jesus.

A Final Thought

In this Year of Jubilee, the Transfiguration reminds us that we are being transformed every day — in our faith, in our learning, and in our growth as young, Pacific men. God’s light shines in each of us. Even when we can’t see it, it’s there — waiting to be revealed.

May we be open to transformation.

May we be strong enough to climb.

And may we never forget: we are loved, we are chosen, and we are not alone.

“This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to Him.”

Let’s take that message with us, into our studies, our homes, our communities, and our hearts.

Celebrating Faith and Leadership in Action

Well done to our Year 13 students who proudly represented our College community at the Caring Foundation Mass held at Christ the King Parish in Owairaka.

Special thanks to: Bruno Ta'ale, Tony Ulberg, Cyrus Holloway, Malu Aiga, Thurston Ngametua, and Jordan Ete-Michael for your service which was acknowledged at the conclusion of Mass.

We also celebrate the powerful presence of our students at Auckland World Youth Day, held at Victory Centre with over 1,500 young people from across the Diocese.

A special mention to Elijah for your inspiring presentation and to the EXODUS Band – Cyrus Holloway, Tony Ulberg, Christian Letufuga, Jarrell Taufao, AJ Faalave, and Psalms Vaotuua – for leading an incredible musical set that truly lifted the spirit of the gathering.

Be sure to check out Elijah’s article, photos, and video highlights in this newsletter.

Deputy Principal Curriculum- Mr Phil Doyle

Proposed changes to NCEA – Have your say

The Minister of Education announced proposed changes to New Zealand Secondary School qualifications this week. No changes would be made immediately, and teachers and students will have time with the new curriculum before any new qualification pathway is introduced between 2028–2030. That means that only our Year 7 and 8 students are likely to be using any new qualification system when they start Year 11 in 2028. It is still critical that we have our say as parents and teachers, and it is important for the Ministry of Education to hear what you think about the changes. Have your say before consultation closes 15 September!

Go to https://www.education.govt.nz/have-your-say/consultation-proposal-replace-ncea/details#have-your-say-1. To help unpack the changes we have attached the Ministry of Education’s Summary and Survey questions and proposed summary of these changes

Literacy and Numeracy Common Assessment Activities [CAA]

Year 10, 11, and 12 students will be completing the Reading, Writing and Numeracy/Mathematics assessments in Week 8 or 9 this term. It is important that our Year 11 and 12 students should check that they are enrolled if they are yet to achieve the Literacy or Numeracy requirement. A reminder that students need access to a laptop to complete the Literacy and Numeracy Common Assessment Activities [CAA].

We will be ramping up our support and preparation for those students enrolled. Look out for emails from your son’s teacher if your son is enrolled in this round of assessments.

Options for 2026

Many of you will have started the conversation about options and course selection at Academic Counselling meeting with your son’s Homeroom Teacher. There will be further opportunities to ask questions in upcoming Parent Partnership meetings. A reminder that students in Year 9 to 12 need to select their Subject option choices 2026 under Course Selection on the KAMAR Portal. Student option choices will close September 12

THERE ARE SIX SUBJECTS REQUIRED AT NCEA [YEAR 11 – 13], 4 OPTIONS for YEAR 10. Students are automatically be entered in Religious Studies. Students are required to CHOOSE FIVE ADDITIONAL OPTIONS or 4 at YEAR 10 as per the instructions below.

Log into our Web portal at https://delasalle.school.kiwi/ and click “Course Selection.”
To choose your first Optional Subject: Select a subject listed in under the COURSE column and click on the rectangle in the row next to it under Column 1. It will then appear as green with a tick.
To choose your second Optional Subject: Select another subject listed in the COURSE column and click on the rectangle next to it under Column 2. It will then appear as green with a tick.
Follow the same procedure to choose your other three options. You will see all the tabs of your five options in green with a tick. The number order does not matter, i.e. in the Year 13 example below, MAS301 (Level 3 Statistics) has been chosen as option 2, and ENG301 (English} as option 1, and HIS301 (History) for option 3. However, each of the choices have equal weighting and we do not take them as an order of preference.
When you have selected the five options, click ‘save’ at the bottom of the page and confirm selection.

PORTAL SCREENSHOT EXAMPLE of first three subjects selected:

You can make changes and save as many times as you like on the KAMAR Portal up to September 12. There are copies of the Options Booklets saved on the school website under the Academic section – Subject Selection.

Senior Exam Week

Senior Exam Timetable

A reminder about Senior Exam Week September 9 – 13. This week will also include opportunities for Year 11 and some Year 12 students to complete the Literacy and Numeracy Common Assessment Activities. Get your son to highlight for you his exams or workshops. All students should be checking in with their teachers on what exactly they are being assessed on and what is needed for each level of achievement. It important for students sitting practice exams to aim high as these grades may be used as Derived Grades if anything happens before November.

Year 11 , 12 and 13 students have study leave in Exam Week. Students are welcome to use the Library to study before, after and between exams. The Library is open to 4.30 pm each day.

Many of the assessments are digital, particularly for Year 11 in Health, Religious Studies and the Literacy and Numeracy CAA. Students will require a charged laptop on the day. If a student has recently got their laptop, they are reminded to register their laptop here at school before the week so they can access the digital exams. You can do this by visiting our ICT technician at school. Students who are unable to bring in a laptop will be provided one.

Literacy and Numeracy Common Assessment Activities for selected Year 10 students

You will have seen a lot in the media about the new Literacy and Numeracy Common Assessment Activities. We have taken a slightly different approach to some schools here at De La Salle. We only enter students who we know are ready for success. Teachers have spent a lot of time assessing where students are at. We are confident that the students who we select will be successful in the assessments and have been preparing them to do well. A large group of Year 10 students will be completing Literacy and Numeracy Common Assessment Activities in week 9. Students who are not sitting will get their first opportunity in May 2025.

These assessments are digital. So, students will require a charged laptop on the day. If a student has recently got their laptop, they are reminded to register their laptop here at school before the week so they can access the digital exams. You can do this by visiting our ICT technician at school. Students who are unable to bring in a laptop will be provided one.

Students will be receiving copies of old exams to help with preparation. All students have access to LeanCoach resources. Students can go to https://my.learncoach.com/study/start

Let’s Work Together:

A Reminder About Phones and Devices at School

Kia orana, Talofa lava, and warm greetings to all our De La Salle families.

We are asking for your continued support in reminding your sons about the importance of not using mobile phones or other personal devices during school hours. This is not only a De La Salle College policy, but it is also mandated by law under the current government guidelines for all schools in New Zealand.

Phones and other digital devices can be a major distraction from learning, and they often interfere with the focus, connection, and discipline we are working so hard to build in our classrooms and around the school grounds. We have seen that students are far more present, engaged, and connected with each other and their learning when phones are not in use.

We understand that phones can be important for communication before and after school, but during the school day, they must remain off and away—either left at home or securely stored in school bags.

We ask that you please talk to your son about this expectation and support us in ensuring he arrives at school ready to learn, free from digital distractions. If you need to contact your son urgently during the day, please phone the school office directly.

Thank you for your co-operation and for working in partnership with us to create the best learning environment possible for all our students.

Academic Year 7/8

Director of Teaching and Learning Year 7 & 8- Mr Herbert Tanuvasa

Kia orana whanau hope you had a great week and maybe treated yourself with some Cook Island donuts for Cook Island language week. I want to say again, thank you for meeting with us at Academic Counselling. We had another huge turnout, and it was humbling to see the Lasallian community on our top floor discussing the academic progress of our young men. Excellence is what we are all striving for.

Last week was very busy for our Year 7/8 students. We had our Year 7 immunisations on Monday and then Thursday was a big day with

SW zone Netball
Mathex comp
Kahui Ako Speech comp
Junior Choir at the Mangere Performing Arts Centre.

We have selected our students for Sports Camp and set a De La Salle record for completed camp payments; 29 hours! The preparations are underway for our third camp this year with the Enviro group in Term 4, led by Mr Anderton and Mr Tagaloasa. With all this going on we have quietly in the background our classes getting ready for our Middle School Musical at the end of this term. It is going to be a great evening celebrating the talents of our young people, in fact it is going to be a groundbreaking night (I am more excited about the success this event will be than I was about Year 8 camp!).

Thank you all for your support with our benchmarks for our Year 8 students, a system we may very well bring in from the start of 2026 for both Year groups. As a result, Year 8 attendance has risen as well as homework levels showing improvement. Please remember, our homework club is a great place to let your son study if 3.10 is too early a time to pick him up (we are looking at having homework club Mon-Fri in 2026). Alternatively, our Under 12 and Under 13 rugby teams train after school if you want to get your son involved in Saturday sport.

Speaking of our Under 12 and Under 13 rugby teams, our Under 12 team is unbeaten this year! Coach Ben has been doing a great job with the boys, and we look forward to their journey though the years at De La Salle.

As I mentioned in my first newsletter this term, Term 3 is usually the most enjoyable term of the year, and it is certainly turning out that way. There are no reports, the students are settled, the pressure is minimal. However, in these times of goodness, not disregarding our blessings or silencing our gratitude; we remember to take time out to think of those in less fortunate situations. This is because as Lasallians, we are primarily called to serve. Though we receive from above, our mission is to give.

In Christ

junior debating

Our Junior debaters have been busy over the last week. Here's a snippet of what they've achieved in that time.

A S D Junior Championships

Auckland Schools Debating hosted the annual ASD Junior Championships. Over 40 teams from 18 schools across Auckland battled it out at Lynfield College on Saturday 2nd August.

Well done to our new Year 10 teams of:

DLS 2: David Finau, Juhen Williams and Omier Ylandan who on their first official competition finished 2/1. Breaking at 9th place, just missing out on the quarter finals.

DLS 3: Mathew Nu'u-Paulo, Setai Williams and Calvin Lemana.

DLS 1: Fagamanu Aoelua, Joseph Malele, Jireh Pita and Nathaniel Motufoua broke 7th and qualified for the semi finals on Sunday.

3rd August Sundays Results:

Semi-finals:

DLS vs St Cuthberts

DLS win

Quarter-finals:

DLS vs Kirstin College

DLS win.

Junior Championships is a tough competition pitting all the strongest debating schools against one another. Reaching this stage is a tremendous achievement for our teams and highlights their dedication and passion for debating.

At the end the top 2 Debate Teams in Auckland will square off.

This competition has been pleasant largely due to the Year 10 teams, who have been very respectful. Gracious in defeat and humble in victory. A huge congratulations to all our Year 10 debaters, and especially to DLS 1: Fagamanu Aloelua, Jireh Pita, Nathaniel Motufoua and Joseph Malele, who took on St Kent's in the grand final. This is a milestone achievement—our debating team’s first time reaching the grand final! Regardless of the result they should be super proud.

Congratulations to St Kentigern College and commiserations to DLS 1.

An outstanding achievement by Fagamanu, Jireh, Nathaniel and Joseph. 40 teams, 18 schools and these young men made it to the grand finals of the 2025 Junior Debating Championships.

Junior Open Grade

the Top 16 debate teams from the Junior Open grade Auckland, faced off at Lynfield College.

De La Salle went up against former DLS English teacher Mr Birchall's debate team.

Motion: THW ban cars in the city centre.

DLS AFF vs Rangitoto NEG.

Well done to both teams!

Commiserations to Rangitoto.

Congratulations to Fagamanu Aoelua, Jireh Pita, Joseph Malele and Nathaniel Motufoua who move onto the semi-finals.

The team pick up the win after a grueling four days of debating coming off their success at Junior Championships over the weekend.

Year 9 Get to the Heart of Science!

As part of our Year 9 Science programme, year 9S students with Mr A Ufi and Year 9J and 9P students with Mrs V Kumar recently took part in an exciting sheep heart dissection to support their learning about the structure and function of the human circulatory system.

Guided by their teachers, students worked in small groups to carefully examine the chambers, valves, and major blood vessels of the heart. This hands-on investigation allowed them to connect classroom theory with real-life anatomy, deepening their understanding of how the heart pumps blood around the body.

For many, this was their first time experiencing a real dissection. Students demonstrated curiosity, teamwork, and respect throughout the activity, making careful observations and asking thoughtful questions.

This practical learning experience not only reinforced key science concepts but also sparked interest in health and medical sciences, showing students how biology connects to real-world careers.

We are proud of the enthusiasm and maturity shown by our Year 9 students during this engaging lesson.

Auckland World Youth Day

by Elijah Tia - Deputy Prefect Community & Wellbeing

On Saturday the 2nd of August, EXODUS and a group of Year 13 LYG students attended Auckland World Youth Day at the Victory Convention Centre. Here, all the Catholic Youth Groups from the different parishes and Catholic Colleges in the Auckland Diocese gathered to hear from guest speakers, participate in praise and worship, and attend Mass and adoration.

We were given the opportunity to share with everybody gathered; I was fortunate enough to share a testimony, highlighting the theme of the day, Signs of Hope, while touching on the LYG key bible verse of 1 Timothy 4:12. The band, EXODUS, performed afterwards, sharing their talent and using it to praise the Lord, performing songs that they had previously performed at LYG.

Special thanks to Mrs Vaotuua, and both Mr Anthony and Mr Tanu Ngan-Woo for their involvement in getting us to and from the venue and the opportunity to share with the youth of today.

service

Kia orana!

My name is Mr Chad Tuli, De La Salle College Service Coordinator, and an old boy. I work here part-time and study full time as part of my teaching degree majoring in PE.

I have had the question asked from parents and students about how they can achieve their service hours?

As an old boy of the college, I was a big advocate on doing service outside of school and serving our community with our Lasallian values. I was also the head of service as a prefect in 2021. Service isn't just within our school, but it can also be done outside of school, things such as chores, mowing lawns for a neighbour or your local parish. Helping elderly from your local parish, alter serving at your local parish, and even service within your home because that's where it starts.

service hours at the Mangere East library for Cook Island language week

Washing the dishes, doing the laundry, sweeping the floor in your home all counts towards service. All we need is just a small note or something written from home or whoever your son has done service with on

how many hours he's completed, and
then signed and
a contact number to confirm the service hours completed.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I do have service programmes outside of school hours mostly during weekends, or after school.

service at the Otahuhu Library

You can find me inside the main school office area if you'd like to talk anything service related. I am more than happy to chat with parents / caregivers about how I can help with your son's service hours. As the De La Salle Certificate on Service hours draws nearer, boys are asking me more about how they can obtain their required 20+ hours for service.

Let's get those points for our boys towards the DLS certificate and let's get our boys out in the community. Happy Cook Island language week and have a good weekend!
