NZQA FEES (Due Friday 26 August 2016)
Senior student NZQA fees of $76.70 are due to the school by Friday 26th August.
These fees are collected by the school on behalf of NZQA to make it easier for you to pay them. Any fees
remaining unpaid after the 26th will need to be paid directly to NZQA and may incur a late fee.
There is a financial assistance form available at the office if you have a community services card. This reduces
the fee to $20 per student or $30 per family.
HERETAUNGA COLLEGE
SENIOR COURSE SELECTION
PATHWAY DAY TUESDAY 6 SEPTEMBER AND
PARENT EVENING WEDNESDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 2016 @ 6PM
In week 7 of term 3 we have two very important events in the senior school calendar happening. Firstly our senior
school timetable will be suspended on Tuesday 6 September for our current year 10, 11 and 12 students to participate
in our annual Pathway Day. This is a day where students are mentored in NCEA requirements specific to the year
level, and then have an opportunity to speak with teachers, HODs and Deans about courses available to them in
2017.
The College also invites parents/caregivers of ALL current year 10, 11 and 12 students to our Senior Course Selection
Evening. This is an event in which parents/caregivers can discuss 2017 senior subject choices with teachers, Deans,
Heads of Department and Senior Management of Heretaunga College.
We encourage all parents/caregivers to attend and bring along their child to discuss their subject options for next year.
Building upon what we have offered in 2016, a raft of new and exciting contextualised courses will be available for
your child to choose from. The evening begins at 6pm and takes place in the school Spine and Morgan Wing.
It is also an opportunity to learn about the process for subject selection, in particular how to complete subject selection
via the KAMAR parent portal link. This year it is expected that all students complete their subject selection Tuesday
13 September which is in week 8 of this term.
SENIOR SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS
The school examinations take place in week 8 of this term (Monday 12 September – Friday 16 September). A letter to
parents will be sent in the near future. We encourage all parents to support their young people in preparing effectively
for these exams. School exams are a compulsory aspect of all senior students’ education. If your child is unavailable
for these exams they will be expected to liaise with Ms Lucas, and will be provided with another opportunity to
participate in the exams outside the allocated schedule.
YEAR 10 NCEA INFORMATION EVENING
All parents/caregivers of students in year 10 are encouraged to attend an information evening on Thursday 18th
August, starting at 6.30pm. Where possible students, should attend alongside their family. A separate invitation has
been emailed home as well as a paper copy provided for each student. This evening is a very important opportunity to
have your questions about NCEA answered as well as the chance to learn about the timetable structure for senior
students at Heretaunga College. Please check your emails or ask your son/daughter for the invitation for further
details.
MCAT – LEVEL 1 ALGEBRA EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT
The year 11 MCAT will take place on Tuesday 13 September 2016. This will be the first external assessment for the
students doing the Algebra course. The students will require their NSN number and a blue pen, no calculators are
allowed in this assessment. Students wishing to do MATAL 202 next year will have to pass this assessment and they
should look out for extra tutorials that we will run closer to the time.
YEAR 12 COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Some of our Year 12 students have been participating in community projects. The photos below show our students
painting an alleyway in Upper Hutt.
LEARNING RESOURCE CENTRE
Special Olympics Indoor Soccer Team
(a parent’s account)
On 22 June the team played the game of their lives and won 7/6 in the final of the Indoor Special Olympics Soccer.
They played and won against Naenae College who also played well.
As a parent I am so proud of our team not only because
of their win, but also because of their superb
sportsmanship in all their games. They have represented
their school well and I believe that they should be
acknowledged and congratulated for their efforts by the
school, staff and students.
The staff in the Learning Resource Centre are to be
congratulated and acknowledged for their hard work,
dedication and ongoing support that they have shown
during this competition.
The photo shows the cup that they won and the gold
medals that were presented to each team member.
Well done Heretaunga!
Thank you
Helen Montgomery (Mother of Laura Montgomery 13DH)

We now need more volunteer guides who enjoy working with young people, and who are available on week days.
Do you know of retirees or people within our community who may be interested in becoming a Matiu/Somes volunteer

LIBRARY NEWS
Have you checked out the online library catalogue yet?
Google Heretaunga College and open the school website. At the top right of the screen between “Virtual school tour”
and “Portal” there’s a button for the library. Click on that and the library catalogue will open. On the home page you’ll
see information about the library, links to websites, new books, book trailers or other YouTube clips and a link to our
Ebook platform. The carousel of books at the top left can be viewed in gallery view also. As a guest you can see what

If you look at the quick lists and click on EPIC databases, you’ll see all the databases that are funded by the Ministry
of Education. Students will need to know the login username and password for access, which they will have to get
from us. Databases give access to newspaper and magazine articles and online reference books including The
Encyclopaedia Britannica. We encourage students to use these databases as they are considered as being print

STUDYLINK
Thinking about further study?
Students planning to continue study after they leave school have a lot of decisions to make.
StudyLink’s website is a great place to visit to get you thinking about what it will cost to live and study. StudyLink can
help you work out if study is right for you and how you'll support yourself. How much money you may need to support
yourself could surprise you.
There are some really important decisions to make. A little effort, planning and commitment now can turn into exciting
jobs, higher wages and only having to pay back what you really needed to borrow to get there.
Once you’ve made the decision to study it’s a good idea to sign up to receive emails from StudyLink. This way you
won’t miss out on important information, like when to apply and documents you need to send.
Let's figure out what things you'll need for your tertiary education, and how you might pay for them.
We encourage students and parents to check out www.studylink.govt.nz.

An updated version of the NCEA Student App can now
be downloaded from either the Apple App Store or

Te Reo Maori, is free to download and can be used
from any smart device.
This version displays and better supports multiple
levels of NCEA and new users can simply add credits
from previous years without having to also add
standards information first. This means that students
can track their progress towards various NCEA levels
over multiple calendar years more quickly and easily.
The App allows students to plan, select and set their
NCEA credit goals and targets and to see how they
are tracking towards NCEA Levels One, Two and
Three, including Literacy, Numeracy and University
Entrance.
