Level 3 NZSL assessment resources
Please note:
These resources are guides to effective assessment and should not be used as actual assessment.
These are publicly available resources so educational providers (including teachers and schools) must modify them to ensure that student work is authentic.
Teachers will need to set a different context or topic to be investigated; identify different texts to read or perform; or change figures, measurements or data sources to ensure that students are demonstrating that they can apply what they know and can do.
The level 3 achievement standards for NZSL are registered and have been published on the NZQA website.
All NZSL achievement standards are internally assessed.
NZQA approved assessment resources
The updated NCEA Level 2 Conditions of Assessment (CoAs) for all languages were published on TKI in January 2025.
The new Level 2 CoAs include the following changes:
- Exclusion of teacher feedback and the use of AI
- Inclusion of an authenticity statement.
‘A’ versions of Internal Assessment Activities (Assessment resources) on TKI have been updated to reflect these changes.
‘B’ versions of Internal Assessment Activities will be updated for use in 2026.
The updated CoAs must be applied to ALL internal assessment activities - A or B - from 2025.
