This week students received a statement that shows the NZQA Exam fees that students must pay for NCEA. This is money that the school collects on behalf of the government. It is not optional. If a student's NZQA fees are not paid then they do not receive official NCEA Exam results.

Students may be eligible for financial assistance from the Government if their caregiver has a community services card, is a student, on a benefit or has low income. A form showing was information attached to the invoice.

Fees are due at the end of Term Two. After this they are no longer collected by school, but must be paid directly to NZQA  and become a flat rate of $126.70.

Exam fees are payable each year that a student studies NCEA. The only exception is when a student is studying an internally assessed NCEA standard at year 9 or 10. In this case the fees are not due until the student reaches Year 11 or begins studying towards external standards.
