$15,000 cash could make studying sweeter

In 2011, AMP is giving away a new Study Start Scholarship to the tune of $15,000.

Study Start is different

It's not about being a straight 'A' student. Instead, the AMP Study Start will go to the young Kiwi who can prove they're totally dedicated, with a clear vision of the goals they want to achieve, and a passion for making a difference.

To apply you need to be a New Zealand resident; in Year 12 or 13 (and pass Year 12); planning to start studying for an NZQA or overseas equivalent within the next 12 months; and aiming to use your study to help New Zealand or your community.

Applications open April 1

Calling all students who are aiming to do great things (and would also love $15,000 towards your studies)… Head to doyourthing.co.nz for an online application and heaps of tips to really make your application stand out!

NCEA Handbooks

All students in Years 11, 12 and 13 have been issued with an NCEA handbook.

Please insist on seeing your child’s. It has an information section for parents on what NCEA is and how it works; it also details the school’s policy and procedures around assessment and there is a tear off section for both student and parent to sign. This must be returned to school by Monday 7 March 2011. If you have any queries regarding this booklet or NCEA in general, please contact Deputy Principal, Mrs Walker at school.

Missing Books

All Departments would appreciate everyone checking for books that were not handed in at the end of the year and returning them to us ASAP. No questions asked.

Lunch Pass/Vehicle Permit/Passenger Permit

Each year the College requires students to obtain passes for the following reasons:

  • Lunch Pass – parental permission to go HOME for lunch. HOME must be within easy travelling distance of school.
  • Vehicle Permit – parental permission to bring a vehicle to school
  • Passenger Permit – parental permission to take other students in a vehicle to and from school (full licence only!)

Students without the appropriate pass will not be allowed to leave the College grounds (unless a one-off note is provided).

These permits are issued annually, so must be renewed this year.
