This period will, for many, define whether or not the year has been a successful academic one. It is crucial that our young men prepare thoroughly for each examination, and not, as I pointed out when meeting with the senior year groups recently, rely on how well they had done in internal assessments throughout the year to get them through. Many would have had a wake-up call with results in the Senior School Examinations. Some would have recognised the challenge and resolved to confront that challenge, and seek to improve their results. Others, disappointingly, would have thrown the towel in or are simply hoping for the best in the NCEA Examinations.
