NCEA English – Level 1 and Level 2 – UPDATE on the Digital Pilot

by Ms K. Dick, HOD English

Students taking Level One or Level Two English have the option of sitting their parallel and NCEA examinations on their laptops this year. If your daughter was wishing to sit her examinations using a digital device but was worried about battery life, there will be power points available for older laptops. We do not want a shorter battery life to be a barrier to her choosing to use a laptop instead of pen and paper.
