ASSESSMENT WEEK INFORMATION FOR PARENTS and SENIOR STUDENTS
31st May – 2nd June is the allocated time for senior practice assessments. Year 11-13 students will have study leave but are required to attend for all the subjects they have assessments in at the times stated.
Most subjects have internal assessments that will gain credits and / or practice external assessments over this time.
We regard the practice external achievement events with importance. Revision and practice exams:
- test understanding of knowledge
- give opportunities to display skills and transfer them to different situations
- give a measure of how effective a student’s revision methods are.
A student who does no study has no way of knowing how well they will do in the NZQA examinations, generally they do poorly.
On the following pages is the list of the subject assessments that will happen. Any specific questions should be directed to subject teachers. Questions of a more general nature should be directed towards Mr Streeter. Students who do video-conferencing and are required to be at a practice exam will need to communicate this with their video-conferencing teacher well ahead of time.
Also on this website link are some study tips that will help students ‘deserve success’.
