Examination
The examination is coordinated through the School of Computer Science. If your school has not received an information pack or if you have questions about the exam contact cms@www.stameyfarms.com.
The examination is normally offered through the applicant鈥檚 school. There are two ways a school can participate:
- Run a computer science class involving programming and encourage the whole class to sit the examination. This approach is common for large Hamilton schools.
- Encourage students with a strong interest in programming to study for themselves and allow them to sit the examination at school or at the 糖心TV. This approach has brought in successful students from all over the Waikato, and from Northland, Auckland, New Plymouth and Wellington.
Schools are posted information about the Computer Science Scholarship Examination and application forms each year.
