Assessment
Regular assessment provides information that is used to help improve students’ learning. Teachers use assessment results to track student progress and to design appropriate programmes to meet ongoing learning needs. Results for summative assessments and NCEA internal assessments are available for parents to view throughout the year on MyPortal.
Senior students receive a summary of major assessment activities for each of their subjects at the beginning of the school year, as well as a booklet with information on NCEA assessment. For queries about specific assessments students are encouraged to approach their subject teachers. General assessment questions can be raised with the Dean. Queries about assessment for national qualifications should be directed to the Principal’s Nominee, Ms Karen Brightwell: karen.brightwell@wgc.school.nz
