CAM 2025 - Kiwi English, Mathematics and Science Competitions
Please ensure you have completed the form by May 2nd. No entries will be accepted after the date.
The University of Canterbury is offering your child the opportunity to participate in the KIWI English, Mathematics and Science competitions. These skills-based competitions take place annually and are designed by New Zealand teachers for New Zealand students and closely align with the New Zealand Curriculum. For further information please consult the CAM website www.canterbury.ac.nz.cam/.
The competitions are open to all Year 5 - 10 students in English, Mathematics and Science. Students can only register for the year level they are currently in. Each student can enter in one or more subjects. Each competition will provide parents/caregivers with an individual student report of their child's overall performance. These are available through Merrin School. The supervised online tests will take place in the first week of Term 3. The competitions are to be administered at school, under exam conditions and supervised.
All participating students will receive a certificate, and a prize will be awarded to the top student nationally in each competition. If two or more students share the same top score, then the prize is awarded to the student with the highest speed and accuracy.
NOTE: Policy is not to release test papers. The tests are provided primarily as a competition and not as a teaching resource.
Entries are administered by the school. For further information please consult the CAM website www.canterbury.ac.nz/cam/
