SAC Assistant Volunteering Role AVAILABLE

Avonside Girls High School/Te Kura Kōhine o Ōtākaro is looking to expand our team of volunteers who support students with Special Assessment Conditions for NCEA assessments. No previous experience is necessary, although the ability to connect with young people, read out loud with fluency and write legibly with correct spelling is vital.

Special Assessment Conditions (SACs) are provided to ākonga who have a learning difficulty that inhibits their performance during assessments. A reader, writer, or supervisor is provided to support students in various ways such as reading questions aloud, writing dictated answers, or supervising them in a separate space.

We require volunteers during the school year for both in-class assessments and exams. The exams take place in May, September, and November. In-class assessments happen throughout the year.

If you wish to give your time to support our amazing students, then let us know via the details given here. We require our volunteers to complete a police vetting form and attend a short training session.
