I met with senior students this week and they were issued a copy of the NCEA exam rules and entry slips. They will need to bring the entry slip to each exam they sit; if these are lost or damaged they will need to catch up with me before the exam session. The exams will be held in The Catlins Area School music room. The exams are controlled by an Exam Centre Manager contracted directly to NZQA. There is a NCEA Examination Timetable 2024 available online. The NZQA website has a student hub which has some great tips and information for exams.

Students are able to study at school during their exam leave. The designated room for this is Room 20. Students will need to sign in, and are expected to study while here. Students also need to sign in and out on the day of each exam.

If students are unable to attend an exam due to an issue such as illness or bereavement, or believe that their achievement has been impaired because of this, then please make contact with me as soon as possible to discuss the derived grade process.

Students are to wear correct uniform when here for exams, and when they are on-site studying or meeting with teachers at school.

Students will need to make sure that they are registered with NZQA to check their exam results in mid to late January. 

If you have any questions regarding exams, please get in touch with me.
