Good afternoon
Congratulations to those students who have already completed their NCEA qualification this year. We will be emailing out certificates of completion over the next three weeks to those students who have attained the credits they need.

The current government restrictions do not allow you to be onsite at this time. Please continue with distance learning via the learn at home spreadsheet.
