All derived grade examinations take place at Te Kura Tuarua, our senior campus at 700 Selwyn Road (access from Eileen Way).
Please note that it is compulsory to attend your exams.
Learners need to check the timetable carefully, as some subjects which are fully internal have also been allocated an 'exam time', as learners are required to come in and work on their internal assessment at that time.

Study leave
During this period (Friday 11 September to Friday 18 September 2026), all senior learners will be on ‘study leave’ and timetabled classes will not be running. Learners are required onsite for their exam; outside of their exams, they may study from home.
Studying at home between exams is essential to ensure learners are well prepared for their examinations.
During the study leave period, learners should not be on school grounds unless they are sitting an exam.
Absence from exam
Learners who are unable to attend an exam due to illness need to ensure they have reported their absence via the normal method by 8:30am on the day of the absence:
Exam times
Morning exams: 9am to 12pm
Afternoon exams: 12:30pm to 3:30pm
Exam procedures
Learners must be in correct school uniform.
Learners must arrive at least 20 minutes before the exam starts. If it is raining, learners should meet on the ground floor of the science and technology building.
Learners with special assessment conditions should meet at the bottom of the science and technology building. We will share a map soon!
Learners cannot enter after the first 30 minutes.
Learners cannot leave in the first 45 minutes or the last 15 minutes of the exam, even to use the bathroom.
It is expected that all questions will be attempted.
Equipment needed for the exams (pens, ruler, calculator, etc.) must be brought into the exam room in a clear plastic bag. Water must be in a transparent drink bottle. Any other bags must be left at the front of the room.
Note: The use of mobile phones, electronic devices/smart watches are not permitted in an examination room.
Subjects with portfolio requirements/deadlines or fully internal courses
During the derived grade exam period, you will have a scheduled time slot with your teacher – see the exam timetable below. Some of these may take place at Te Kura Tuatahi (junior campus).
