Years 10/11/12 Literacy and Numeracy Digital Exams (final opportunity for 2023).

Green Bay High School is continuing to offer the new Literacy and Numeracy Standards in Week 4 of Term 4 for a select group of students

If your child is required to sit the Lit/Num exams, your child (and parent/caregivers) will have received an email.

The Literacy and Numeracy Standards aim to provide foundational skills to support students in further studies, work, and life. It is an important opportunity to complete these exams for 2023.

Our English and Maths departments have been preparing your child in readiness to have a positive experience using the new digital platform.
