As well as also supporting our middle child in her NCEA National Certificate in Educational Achievement external art exams (level 2) Year 12 where she must provide a folio of her art work (Painting) that must be sent to examiners in Wellington.
The difficulty was that the Courier company that was selected to send folios were inundated with so many inquiries that when we went to book for a Courier drive to pick up the folio we were in a wait list of 137 callers and had to wait until it got down to our turn.
So I decided to go through a takeaways drive-thru 3 times whilst awaiting for the call. It was quite funny but we finally got it sorted and by the time we got home it was very quickly picked up and away it's gone to be tracked all the way to Wellington.
What's interesting about our middle child's folio is that I remember in my Level 1 art exams (those many years ago) that I had to provide a portfolio and I chose the subject of hands as my topic of interest. It's interesting to see that echoed in both my two eldests' Year 12 folios too i.e. great artistic minds think alike? (ha ha - no just interesting DNA).
Now there are external exams to contend with starting from 24th November and wishing for our middle child all the best in preparations and getting everything sorted in order to perform to the best of their abilities despite the pandemic and the Alert level 3 lockdown orders. Life seems to still go on...
