Managing student/akonga absence from exams due to COVID

Mandy Page —

Please contact the school for advice from Ms Page or Mrs McDonald.

Students / ākonga with cold, flu or COVID-19 symptoms should follow Min//istry of Health guidelines.

Students / ākonga who choose to isolate for five days because they have COVID-19 and are unable to sit their examination(s) should apply for a derived grade. The Principal’s Nominee can complete the derived grade application form on behalf of the student / ākonga, and attest to the evidence provided to support the application.

Evidence should include a date stamped photo of the student with their positive RAT result, and the text from the Ministry of Health acknowledging the student’s COVID-19 result. Schools should assist students if they have difficulty reporting a COVID-19 result.
