Literacy and Numeracy co-testing for Seniors

In Weeks 5 and 6, almost all of our Year 11 students who are taking the NCEA pathway will be sitting the Literacy and Numeracy co-requisite exams. These three exams are mandatory and there are two testing opportunities each year.  Students who are sitting these exams have been given their NZQA login details by their English and Maths teachers in preparation. 

Any Year 12 and 13 students who are yet to achieve their literacy and numeracy credits will also be sitting these tests over the two-week period. 

Literacy Writing takes place in Week 5 on Monday 18 May, periods 1 and 2. 

Numeracy takes place in Week 5 on Tuesday 19 May, periods 1 and 2. 

Literacy Reading takes place throughout week 6 (beginning 25 May) during their period 3 English class.

These exams are digital, and students must bring their devices, ensuring they are charged before arriving to school. There are very limited devices available on the day. If your child is unable to bring their device to school for testing, please ensure they notify their English or Maths teacher. If you have any questions about the testing programme, please contact Emma Joynes: e.joynes@avcol.school.nz
