New Zealand
In New Zealand, Year Thirteen is the second year of post-compulsory education. Children are usually aged seventeen or eighteen in this year group. although there is no minimum age. Therefore for an accelerated student this could still be a compulsory year if they haven't turned 16 yet (legal age for leaving school). Year Thirteen pupils are educated in Secondary schools or in Area schools. Year Thirteen was previously known as the 7th form and students will be studying towards NCEA Level 3.
