Year 8 Testing

As part of the enrolment process for 2019, Awatapu College will be undertaking testing in Maths and English for new Year 9 students coming from our feeder intermediate schools. The testing will be held on Friday 16 November at 9am in the Awatapu College Auditorium. Students should arrive to meet at 9am in the Auditorium for a 9.10am start. Testing should be finished by 11am.

Parents and caregivers of students from Monrad Intermediate and Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School are asked to ensure their children are at Awatapu College by 9am and a staff member from their intermediate will escort them back to their school after the testing. Parents and caregivers of students from other feeder schools are asked to ensure their children are at Awatapu College by 9am and picked up at 11am to be returned to their school. 

If any student is unable to attend on this day, their parent/caregiver must contact the Awatapu College office on 356 4817 to make other arrangements.
