Additional programmes: Senior Excel Tutoring Programme for Y9-13 students will be held on Mondays in Rm 205, 3.20 - 4.20pm.  Students need to bring  class work / homework that they are having trouble with and senior students will be available to assist them.

Junior Excel Tutoring Programme for students in Y7 & 8. This takes place during a lunch-time once a week and involves Y10 students who volunteer as tutors.  Each term of tutoring is based on a theme such as Maths Max, Knowledge Quest (research skills) or Writer's Workshop.  The number of students involved in this programme is dictated by the number of Y10 volunteers. Y7 & 8 teaching staff nominate students to be involved and then the students & their parents choose whether or not to take up the opportunity. Further information about this will follow once the Y7 & 8 students have had some more time to settle in.

Mathsbuddy On-Line Tutoring Resource: NZ Curriculum through to L3 NCEA.

All Y7 & 8 students will be allocated a log in for www.mathsbuddy.co.nz as this is part of their maths programme.

Students in Y9-13 can also be allocated a log in at a cost of $30 for the year. This is charged to your account. If your son would like a log in please email : sue@mcglashan.school.nz  and use "Mathsbuddy" in the title of the email. The log in details will be emailed to them via their school email address.
