Green Bay High School is continuing to offer the new NCEA Literacy and Numeracy standards in 2025. These will be held in Week 4 of Term 2. 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 2025.
