Kia ora koutou
With NCEA exams well underway, we would like to remind you about Te Kura Summer School.
This is the fifth year we have offered summer study, which has grown in popularity every year. More than 1500 students took advantage of Summer School last year to top up their NCEA credits, enabling them to go on to either further study, training or employment.
We work in partnership with schools to ensure we are meeting NZQA regulations. Because students have a single Record of Achievement in an academic year, credits achieved by a student (by the NZQA deadline – usually mid-February) are reported by the student’s previous school of enrolment, not Te Kura.
This year, the Ministry of Education as included a new gateway for students to dual register with Te Kura for summer school so that they do not have to be removed from their school of enrolment when they enrol with us. Students can do this themselves.
Our research has shown that most students who come to us, learn about what we offer for Summer School from their own schools. Schools have told us that in many cases they have elicited a good response from students by putting up Summer School information on their own websites.
As you can see from the attached flyers (in English, Maori and Samoan), courses are delivered online so with access to a computer and the internet, students can learn anywhere and anytime.
Please contact me if you require further information.
