The oral assessment programme is part of the NZ Speech Board activities. The programme involves the child presenting a prepared speech and poem (or prose or drama) to a designated examiner. There is also some discussion on a novel.

It has been shown that the children’s involvement in this activity has given them enhanced confidence when speaking in front of others. Oral Assessment is part of the School’s extension programme.

The oral assessment programme is being offered to pupils Y4 - Y6 (Rooms 5, 6, 1). It will be taken during the school day, by Mrs Asplin.  An examination date will be set for Term 2.  The cost of the exam is approximately $33 (the price may vary depending on the exam that is undertaken), which is paid to the NZ Speech Board for an examiner.

If your child is interested in participating in the programme and exam please fill out the google form.
