Senior School Exam Week, 5 - 9 September 2011

Students in Years 11-13 have school exams this week. These are an integral part of the girls’ preparation for their NCEA exams in November and their results will provide valuable feedback and direction for further study. This year students do not have study leave during exam week. This means that girls will be in their usual timetabled classes if they do not have an exam scheduled.

Exam timetables (click here or see below) and rules (click here or see below) have been issued to all students.

Class and Exam Times

Note: There are no period 3 classes during exam week.

Exam room allocations will be posted on the AGHS notice board on the west side of the main quad. Be ready outside the room 10 minutes before the start of the exam.

Equipment
Pens, pencils, calculators etc only may be taken to your seat in the exam room in a clear sealed plastic bag. Check with your subject teachers about other equipment required and remember to bring it with you. You are not to take any paper into the exam room.

You may also bring another clear sealed plastic bag containing your cell phone (turned off), keys and id card. This is to be placed under your chair and may only be picked up in an emergency when you are instructed. At the end of the exam make sure you take it with you. If a cell phone rings (or makes any kind of noise) it will be treated as a serious breach of the exam rules.

School bags are not allowed in the exam room. For our school exams only, school bags may be left inside the exam room in the area indicated by your exam supervisor.

RULES
Our school exams are run under the same conditions as the NCEA external examinations.

1. Wear correct school uniform – students in Year 11/12 will not be admitted to the examination room in incorrect uniform.
2. Wait outside the examination room, then enter in silence when told to.
3. You must remain absolutely silent throughout the examination. There is to be no communication between students. Raise your hand if you need a supervisor.

5. There is to be NO eating.
6. All students must remain in the examination room for the entire time. If you finish early, sit quietly and check your work.
7. You may not leave the room and return during the examination. Go to the toilet before it starts.
