DELF Scolaire Examinations
by Gerry Atkin - Friday, 20 September 2024, 10:09 AM
 
In August last year, fourteen of our Year 10, 11 & 12 French students successfully sat the DELF Scolaire Examinations, administered by the local Alliance Française.

This is a challenging, internationally recognised and accredited four-levelled qualification that tests listening, reading, speaking and writing, with all answers written in French. It gives our students an extension to NCEA and a qualification that could enable them to study in a French or Francophone university.

The official certificates recently arrived from France. All fourteen students earned results of a very high standard and are to be congratulated on accepting the challenge that these examinations offer. Congratulations to: Ramis Ali, Edmund Brown, Oliver Crotty, Scott Sun, Will Fortune, Kieran Gill, Aidan Harris, Ben Irwin, Rossen Kostourkov, Ben Lawrie, Leo Mwape, Jonathan Peel, Leo White and Jakob Wong.

Year 9 Reading Challenge
by Gerry Atkin - Thursday, 19 September 2024, 7:38 AM
 

Year 9 Reading Challenge

It's not too late to register and books you've read so far in 2024 can count - talk to one of the librarians for further information.

“There is a large amount of compelling evidence that correlates reading for pleasure from an early age with literacy development, improved well-being, and educational and employment success.” - Dr Jo Cribb, NZ Book Council

"Adolescents entering the adult world in the 21st century will need to read and write more than at any other time in human history. They will need advanced levels of literacy to perform their jobs, run their households, act as citizens, and conduct their personal lives. They will need literacy to cope with the flood of information they will find everywhere they turn. They will need literacy to feed their imaginations, so they can create the world of the future. In a complex, and sometimes dangerous world, the ability to read can be crucial." — International Reading Association
