Dear Parents and Caregivers,

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 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 our 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 and supervised at school under exam conditions. All participating students will receive a certificate and a prize will be awarded to the top student nationally in each competition. 

NOTE: CAM’s policy is not to release test papers. For further information, please consult the CAM website www.canterbury.ac.nz/cam

Entry and payment for these exams can be done via our Kindo School Shop.  Your child can choose to do one, two or all three exams.  The entry cost for each exam is $10.20.  Entries close at the end of term one (Friday 11th April).  No late entries will be accepted.

Kind regards,

Leah Mills

Teacher in Charge of the KIWI Exams
