Daily Notices

Entries for Cambridge AS resits in the November 2024 series are now open. If you are considering re-sitting an AS exam in November 2024 you will need to think carefully, be strategic, and weigh up whether adding another set of external exams is really in your best interests. Information about Cambridge AS Resits is now available for students to collect from the Front of Hall, Senior Side. If you have any questions, please see Dr Etty. The deadline for resit entries is Friday 2 August.

There are external examinations in school at the moment. If you see one of the 'Exams in Progress' signs, please move away quietly.

While it is essential that you are in School, completing class work and internal assessments, if at all possible, if you are unwell, the School would prefer that you are at home recovering and not at School potentially infecting others.

If you have missed or will miss an internal assessment deadline or in-class assessment and you have a legitimate reason for being absent, you may be eligible for an extension.

You can collect an application form for an extension to a deadline on an internal assessment from Student Reception. You must do so on the day you return to School, and be ready to provide a medical certificate as supporting evidence for your application.

If you missed class time as the result of an approved School activity, you do not need to complete the extension application form.

Entries are now open for NZQA Scholarship exams in 2024. NZQA Scholarships carry significant prestige, and are awarded only to the top 2-3% of the national cohort in a particular subject. NZQA Scholarships are not qualifications but instead are monetary awards given to students who enrol at a tertiary institution in New Zealand. Auckland Grammar School has a strong record of success in NZQA Scholarship and in 2023 our students achieved 217 Scholarship passes. Students in Forms 5-7 who wish to enter NZQA Scholarship examination(s) should carefully consider whether they are suitable candidates, and should also note that applying for entry to an NZQA Scholarship examinations represents a commitment by students to attend all exams entered and make a reasonable attempt at the paper.

In particular, Cambridge students should compare the dates of Scholarship and Cambridge exams and avoid setting up unnecessary clashes by choosing to enter Scholarship exams on the days when they will have Cambridge examinations. The timetables for all Cambridge and NCEA end-of-year examinations are now on display on the Examinations noticeboard in the corridor between A10 and A11.

Information and entry forms can be collected from the Front of Hall, Senior Side, and completed forms must be returned to Dr Etty. The deadline for forms to be handed in is Friday 2 August.
