Updates to the Base Scope of Assessment (BSAS)

Kia hiwa r�, kia hiwa r�

Kia hiwa r� ki tēnei tuku, kia hiwa r� ki tēr� tuku

Kia tū, kia oho, kia mataara!

Tūturu whakamaua kia tīna, tīna

Haumi e, hui e, t�iki e!

Ðǿմ«Ã½ MÄ�ori Qualifications Services advise you that the Base Scope of Assessment for Schools (BSAS) has been updated as follows:

  • MÄ�ori Performing Arts (Te Ao Haka and New MÄ�ori Music) has increased the level covered by the BSAS to include Level 4.
  • NgÄ� Mahi a Te Whare Pora (Raranga, TÄ�niko, Taonga, WhÄ�riki and Whatu) has increased the level covered by the BSAS to include Level 3.

What does this mean?

This means that schools and kura will have automatic consent to assess standards in the domains New M�ori Music and Te Ao Haka within the M�ori Performing Arts subfield to Level 4 and standards in the subfield Ng� Mahi a te Whare Pora to Level 3.

To assess the standards, a school or kura must have staff with suitable subject and assessment knowledge.

What if a standard is not on the BSAS?

If a school or kura wants to assess against assessment standards that are not listed on the Base Scope of Assessment for Schools, they must apply for an extension of their consent to assess.
