Cambridge Revision Classes

The Association of Cambridge Schools in New Zealand is holding Cambridge Revision Classes during the third term holidays, beginning on 2 October. All classes are run by experienced Cambridge teachers who are currently teaching their specialist subjects at Cambridge Schools in Auckland and classes are offered in a range of subjects at AS and A2 level. These classes, which vary in length depending on the subject, are held at Grammar between 9.00am and 2.30pm each day. Registrations for these classes are open and places are limited, so you need to get in quick as over 1000 students attend these revision classes each year. Further information and registrations are online at the ACSNZ website: www.acsnz.org.nz

Internal Assessment Extension Applications

If you are an NCEA student who has missed or will miss an internal assessment deadline or in-class assessment and you have a legitimate reason for being absent, you may be eligible for an extension. You can access the extension form via the AGS Portal using your Grammar login.

While it is essential that you are in School, completing class work and internal assessments, if at all possible, if you are unwell, the School would prefer that you are at home recovering and not at School potentially infecting others. This is one of the reasons we have an extension application process.

You should complete the extension application form the day before you return to School, and be ready to provide a medical certificate or Ministry of Health confirmation of notification of a positive Covid test result as supporting evidence for your application.

Please note that the Study Centre Catch-Up Sessions will run again in Term 3.
