* Year 1–11 students finish school for this year on Friday 12 December, 2.30 pm.

* Year 11 students:  Exams and Study Information:  These learners will continue at school on their normal timetable, using class time for structured study and learning for Level 1 exams and Level 2 NCEA. Students will be allowed to have one day at home before each of their NCEA exams to use for study and preparation.  If you and your tamariki believe they will study best at school, then they can study at school instead of home for the day before each exam.  Please email raninik@taipa.school.nz to advise if this is your preference. For those who have already completed their Level 1 NCEA, there will be continued teaching and learning focussed on foundational skills for NCEA Level 2 to ensure that they gain their best Level 2 results possible.  There may also be the opportunity to gain some Level 2 credits before the end of this year.

* Year 12 and 13 students: A tailored plan for individual students is being developed to support their study, credit requirements, and successful completion of the year with the highest qualification possible. Further details will be shared with whānau as soon as they are finalised.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NCEA EXAMS START ON TUESDAY 4 NOVEMBER
