Dear Parents and Caregivers,The University of Canterbury is offering your year 5-8 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 and closely align with the New Zealand Curriculum.

The competitions are open to all Year 5-10 students in English, Mathematics and Science. Students can enter in 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. 

The supervised online tests will take place in the last 3 weeks of Term 2 and the first week of Term 3. The competitions are to be administered at school under exam conditions and supervised. 

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.
