Drivers Licences for our students are important !!! We are finding that most jobs for school leavers require the applicants to have at least a Restricted Drivers Licence so we urge parents/caregivers to support them in this.

From NZQA for senior students:Learner login and result notificationAs students leave for examination study they need to be reminded that results will only be reported online (unless they have requested a result notice through the Learner login).
To access their results, students who have not used their NZQA Learner login since April 2014 need to go to the Learner login page and:• update their password to meet NZQA requirements for stronger passwords• advise their current email address in case they need their password reset• create and register a user name.
Students who have never logged in to the NZQA secure learner site should register now using their National Student Number (NSN) and date of birth.
To prevent delays in accessing personal examination and study information (including examination results in January 2015) this should be done as soon as possible.
