Year 13 students are responsible for the initial application and have been given the forms necessary.  This is for your information only and allows you/him to download extra copies for his use.

The process for producing Year 13 Testimonials for 2017 has begun.  Year 13 Testimonials are a character and academic reference that are written by tutor teachers for the Year 13 students.  The Testimonials are useful for scholarship and job applications and are also presented to students at Senior Prize-giving summarising their HBHS career.  They are considered a very important document that we take pride in producing for our graduating senior students.

Part of the process involved in preparing these documents demands that Year 13 students provide relevant staff with information about themselves by specified deadlines.

Please read the information below.  All relevant forms related to testimonials have been issued to Year 13s through their tutor groups.  If hard-copies have been misplaced there are spare copies of forms at the Student Services Centre and students can also print off their own forms from the attached files.

There is one form all Year 13s must receive, fill out and return by FRIDAY 9 JUNE. This is the Testimonial Application Form attached.

The extra form, the Referee Form, must be provided to two staff members who, upon being asked in person, have agreed to be referees for a student.  These two teachers per. Year 13 student write character references that will assist tutor group teachers in the drafting of student testimonials.

Students need to ensure that all Testimonial Application Forms are submitted to the Student Services Centre by 12.30 on FRIDAY 9 JUNE - Week 6, Term 2

Please ensure that teachers acting as referees have agreed in person and have been provided a referee’s form asap.

Failure to meet deadlines jeopardises testimonial completion.  If there are complications in meeting the specified deadline, please contact myself on 07 853 0440 ext. 2423 or cwood@hbhs.school.nz
