Seniors - Tutorials and NZQA Follow-on courses
Senior Tutorial Days
Monday and Tuesday next week are Senior Tutorial days. Subject teachers will inform students as to when they are available during this time for tutorials leading into exams.
NZQA Follow-on Courses
This year the College will be offering courses to support those at risk of not achieving at either Level 1, 2 or 3.
The timetable below outlines the dates where students will be able to come into school to complete this learning and assessment. The courses will be taught and supervised by Mr McMahon, Mr Bryce or an outside provider.
I need to stress that external exams take precedence over these courses. Students do not have to attend all sessions, however we would ask the students who intend on completing some standards to come in and register on Wednesday 7 November at 9.00am in the College Library. Registration and all course work will be completed in the Library and associated breakout spaces.
Students are able to select from the following courses:
Level One
