Important Information for the upcoming exams

Five weeks of school until NCEA exams begin

Now is a good time to increase the pressure over study routines and your son’s study plan for the holidays and ensure he is cutting back on part-time work and other commitments and increasing his revision. 

Year 11-13 students begin study leave on Wednesday, 2 November and NCEA exams begin on Wednesday, 9 November.

School reports for Year 11-13 students will be sent home next week.
