The University of Canterbury is offering your child the opportunity to participate in the KIWI English, Mathematics and Science competitions.

These competitions take place annually and are designed by New Zealand teachers for New Zealand students based on 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 enter 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 your school. Each test has a cost of $9.90 per test which will be added to your account.

The supervised online tests will take place in the last 3 weeks of Term 2 and the first week of Term 3. 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: Our 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

The entry form is attached below. All forms to be returned by Friday, 5 May 2023 to the office. Sorry, no late entries can be accepted.
