On your accounts you will notice that we have now charged NCEA examination fees to the family accounts of Years 11, 12 and 13 students and of those Year 10 students who are sitting external exams in Geography and/or Social Studies.

A substantial discount is available to parents who are:

• on low incomes,
  
• are beneficiaries,
  
• have a Community Services Card, or
  
• have 3 or more children entering NCEA in the current year
  

For further information or to download an application form for financial assistance go to the NZQA website.

Application forms are also available below or from the school office.

So that we can invoice all parents correctly, it is essential that those eligible for Financial Assistance complete and return their application forms urgently to the school office or to sintonjr@staff.cbhs.school.nz.

Please note: It is NOT necessary for you to enter your son’s NSN (national student number) on the application form as we already have that recorded.
