Year Level

Student year level.

For NZ MOE roll returns, the Year Level is used for the current year level.

Schooling Year Offset

Schooling year offset against the year level, if the student has advanced, skipped or repeated a year level.

For example, a student that has:

  • advanced a year level has an offset of -1
  • repeated a year level has an offset of +1.
    For NZ MOE roll returns, the Year Level and Schooling Year Offset are used to determine a student's funding year level. See Funding year levels in the Roll returns manual.

Form

Note: Maintain the values in the luForm lookup table. See luForm lookup table in the System maintenance manual.

Note: Maintain the values in the luHouse lookup table. See luHouse lookup table in the System maintenance manual.

See Import_Export Student Data - QCAA tab.

Note: You can use the luBoarder lookup table to maintain entries. See luBoarder lookup table in the System maintenance manual.

For NZ MOE roll returns, the boarding status of students is required. That is, whether or not they are a boarder. This also affects the student's zoning status; a student boarding at the school hostel cannot be out-of-zone, so Zone Status is set to Not applicable. See Current Student Maintenance - NZMOE tab (Roll returns), Zone status in the Roll returns manual.

Boarding House

Boarder's residence, if applicable.

FTE

Full-time equivalent, if student is not full- time.

For NZ MOE roll returns, the FTE is used to determine a student's part-time or full-time status when fixing errors. See Roll return errors and warnings in the Roll returns manual.

For NZ MOE roll returns, FTE is calculated by adding together class contact hours, dividing by 20 and rounding to one decimal point.

For NZ MOE roll returns, FTE must be 1.0 for all students in Years 1-8 and all students aged <16 in Year 9 above unless the student is an external student (that is, student type EM).

    Note: If the student's status is set as Leaving and a date is entered in this field, once this date has passed their status is automatically changed to Left.

Reason

For roll returns, the Reason is important as many of the roll return errors depend on this field to determine whether a student is still attending or whether they have left. See Reason for leaving in the Roll returns manual.
