Mock Exams

Just to let parents know, we have our mock NCEA exams coming up from 15 September until 19 September inclusive. The purpose of these exams is to inform students of where their strengths and weaknesses are with exam technique and their knowledge base.

From this it is expected that students may individualise their study programs and take responsibility for their learning. This is an important exercise and I hope that all parents and caregivers take this opportunity to get involved with students' learning.

We appreciate the support from home as this is a vital part of the learning process.

Here are a few ideas to help at home:

• Check if the student has a study program including times set aside for study and which subjects/ topics to cover within that time.
• Check if they are up to date with taking brief study notes from their class notes.
• Make sure they are not over-burdened with other commitments and that they manage their time.
• Help them to set up an area to work in with minimum distractions remembering that some students require silence while some need quiet background noise.
• Get them to double check what exams they have and when they are.

If you need any advice or support about this, please contact the College.
