MyTuition is running 2-day Exam Revision Courses for James Hargest College students from 6-11 October 2018 (second week of the
holidays).
Having recently excelled in NCEA externals themselves, MyTuition tutors understand everything a student needs to attain the grades
they desire. Armed with this knowledge, they’ve designed 2-day Exam Revision Courses to equip NCEA students with all the tools
and knowledge they need to prepare for their 2018 externals.
Also, they’ve created a comprehensive Exam Revision Resource Booklet for students to refer back to after the course. MyTuition
tutors tell us they’ve created the courses and resources they wish they had as high school students.
MyTuition’s Exam Revision Courses are typically based in Auckland. This exam season, however, MyTuition is sending their tutors
from all around the country to Invercargill so James Hargest College students can benefit from their Exam Revision Courses.
These 2-day Exam Revision Courses are valued at $220. However, we’ve worked with MyTuition to secure the discounted price of
$190 per Course. Bookings made before 16/09/2018 will secure the early-bird price of $175 per Course.
Here’s what each 2-day Exam Revision Course involves:
• Overview of content for each standard
• Detailed guidance on how to answer exam questions + our tutors’ tips and tricks
• An action plan for when you finish the course
• Interactive teaching with activities
• A comprehensive resource booklet to take home

from Oamaru Intermediate School were
welcomed by a Mihi Whakatau before
meeting their billets. The exchange was
a very successful experience and gave
the students the opportunity to display
their sporting talents in a competitive
environment. Throughout the exchange,
there was a lot of great individual and
team success and achievements. James
Hargest College won the boys and girls
basketball, harriers, swimming, Year
8 netball, badminton, hockey, chess,
touch, quiz and table tennis. Oamaru
Intermediate School won volleyball, Year
7 netball, tennis, football and rugby. It
was great to see to see the sportsmanship
displayed by participants and spectators
too. Thank you to our James Hargest
families who billeted students from
Oamaru Intermediate. They really enjoyed
the hospitality of the families with whom
they stayed. And finally, many thanks
to the coaches, teachers in charge of
activities and administrative staff to
helped made the exchange a huge success.

Student Safety
Junior Campus
Student supervision is not available prior
to 8.20am so students must not be on
the school grounds before then, unless
they are attending before school maths.
This is a safety issue as supervision is not
available prior to 8.20am.
Students are not to use the staff car park
on Layard Street as a walkway area and
parents are asked not to use this as a drive
through to drop or pick up children. Again
this is for safety.
