Getting to the business end of the year!

Senior Students will be released from school for exams on Wednesday 30 October.  NCEA Exams begin on Tuesday 05 November and finish on Friday 29 November.

For many students they have already gained their NCEA Level Qualification.  However, this does not mean they should not sit any of their External exams that they are entered into.  Sitting exams is an important skill for students who are wanting to go off to university or further training course after leaving school. These institutions will be looking at the student’s exam marks rather than their internal marks.  Also, for some students, it means a chance of gaining an Endorsement in a subject area or an overall Endorsement for their level.  Therefore, we expect to see full attendance of all students at all exams and seek your support in this matter.

Students will be issued with exam slips on Tuesday 29 October, which lists the exams they are entered into.  Please check these slips so you know when your child has an exam.  The NCEA exam timetable is also attached.

Please note that the dates are not always in chronological order.  It is highly recommended that students highlight their exams on the exam timetable.

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure”.  General Colin Powell
