Delta's subject forums via internet

• Learners who have internet access can join selected subject forums

Subject support services

• Enquires with regard to subjects without a subject forum can be made to Delta's subject advisers via e-mail, telephone or fax.
• All enquires that require intense timorous explanations are regarded as extra lessons
• You may negotiate with subject advisors as to the presentation of extra classes or the implementation of assessment at an additional fee

Assessment services and reports, grades 1 - 11

• Delta sets annual formal examinations for grades 1 - 11 and assesses the answers during the allocated assessment period.
• This end of year exam counts up to 75% of the final report percentage.
• Parents and centres send the year mark (formative assessment), which counts 25%, to Delta on official mark sheets
• Year marks are obtained from terms 1, 2 and 3s test results and projects.
• The tests, with memos, and assignments can be found in each subjects parent guide.
• Tests for terms 1, 2 and are assessed by parents and at support centres.
• Delta calculates the final exam and year mark and issues a valid report card for grades 1 - 11
• In the event that the year mark and exam mark differ by more than 15%, the year mark will be rejected and the final mark will be the only mark considered for the report card.
• This precaution ensures the integrity of Delta's report card.
• All exams for grades 1 - 11 are completed either at home or at a Delta support centre.

Psychometric testing, help with study methods and subject choices

• It is of utmost importance for Delta that learners make the right choices with regard to subjects and career directions
• The services of qualified career guidance councillors and registered psychometric evaluators are available for all Delta learners.
• These services are available at a special tariff for registered Delta learners
• Consultations and testing will only be conducted as per appointment.
