A Strong Start to the Final Push
A huge congratulations to our Year 11, 12, and 13 students for their preparation and focus during derived grade exams.
Across 115 sessions, students sat 2,486 individual exams, building momentum for the final NCEA exams in November.
Special praise goes to our seniors for their adaptability following Tuesday’s unexpected school closure. This disruption highlighted the importance of derived grades, which serve as a safety net if an emergency, like what we saw on Tuesday, happens during the official November exam period.
Teachers will provide feedback exam early next term. Results will be loaded onto the reulst section of the KAMAR portal by the start of Week 2, with formal reports published in Week 4. Please take time to discuss these results with your son.
Further details regarding NZQA exam expectations will be shared with students in Term 4.
Well done to everyone on a fantastic effort. Enjoy a well-deserved holiday break and return refreshed for the final push in Term 4!
