Lockdown Updates

With Auckland still at alert Level 4 online learning is continuing and our teachers are really pleased with how our students are engaging and continuing with their learning at this time.  We are hopeful that we will all be able to restart face to face lessons soon.

The dates for NCEA and Scholarship  examinations have been changed and the examinations will now start on 22 November and finish on 14 December.  This will give students a few more weeks to prepare. The exams will only go ahead if Auckland is at Level 2.  

We continue to accept enrolment applications  for 2022, through our Enrolment Portal or by post - more details are on the Enrolment tab on this page.  The closing date for applications for the Cotter Trust Entrance Scholarships has been extended to 17 October.

The dates for the Term 3 school holidays remain the same with the last day of Term 3 being Friday 1 October and the first day of Term 4 being Monday 18 October.

University Success - Congratulations Mackenzie

The University of Auckland Young Scholars Programme extends academically able students in Year 13 to study a Stage 1 paper in a variety of subjects. In the 1st semester this year Mackenzie Adams 13 KCL studied Philosophy 105 Critical Thinking.She achieved an A+ which will be on her University transcript as she intends studying at the University of Auckland in 2022.
Her comments are: "The University of Auckland Young Scholars programme was a valuable opportunity for me because I was able to experience what university is like by completing a first year philosophy course. Completing a course in the Young Scholars Program gave me the opportunity to connect with other high school students who were participating in the programme. I was also able to see the level of work required for the first year of university and was able to learn more about an area I am interested in. I would recommend this programme for anyone who wants to extend themselves and is prepared to work hard."
