How To Read The Course Planning Chart

• All subjects at Lincoln High School have a code as well as a name.
• The first digit of each code will indicate which level the subject is at.
• Year 9 courses all have codes beginning with 9.
• Year 10 courses all have codes beginning with 10.
• The first digit of a senior course code indicates the appropriate NCEA Certificate level, eg, FRE201 is NCEA Level 2 French.
• By reading across the Course Planning Chart you can see how subjects progress through the levels and how subjects taken at Year 9 and 10 levels lead on to specialist subjects in the Senior School.
