Pleae note: in 2018 there are NO reassessment
opportunities for internal achievement standards
offered. The Interact and Writing portfolios are
conducted over three terms and students are
considered to have ample time to reformat the
two samples required for each before the final
submission.
In 2018, 24 credits will be offered in French,
German and Japanese. There will be 3 internal
assessments to the value of 14 credits and 2
external assessments to the value of 10 credits.

Languages offered
It is possible to study languages other than
French, German and Japanese through the
Correspondence School but under certain
conditions. It is not usual practice for boys younger
than Year 11. Distance learning requires a very
disciplined commitment over a long period of
time and this should not be entered into lightly.
The Modern Languages Department is happy to
administer correspondence work and to provide
pastoral support, but issues regarding course work
must go directly to the Correspondence School. We
also require students to sign a code of conduct.
Please note that pre–enrolment takes place
through us in early November, so you must
inform us prior to this if you wish your son to
enrol otherwise there is a late enrolment fee. It
is current Correspondence School policy to offer
Level One only as a fee-paying option unless the
child has a cultural affinity with the language and
this is decided on a case-by-case basis by the
Correspondence School.
Students have strict time–frames for handing in
work or else the Correspondence School unenrolls
them, so meeting deadlines is very important.
Please refer to their website for details.
