Kia ora koutou,

As we come to the end of another year at Carey, we want to say a big well done for all your hard work, learning and commitment throughout 2026. Whether you’re celebrating the completion of your studies, reaching an important milestone in your learning, or preparing to continue your studies in 2027, we hope you take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come and give thanks for all that God has been doing in and through you this year.

To those completing their studies, congratulations on reaching this significant milestone! We pray that what you’ve learned at Carey will continue to shape your faith, ministry and service in the years ahead. To those continuing their studies, we look forward to journeying with you again next year.

As you head into the summer break, please take note of the following important information about final assessments, grades, re-enrolment and access to CareyOnline resources.

Final assessments, extensions and resubmissions

A reminder that all final assessments are due by Friday 6 November at 11.59pm, unless you have an approved extension.

If you have an approved extension or need to complete a resubmission, please make sure Neroli is aware of your arrangements and knows when your assessment is due. Keeping everyone informed will help ensure your assessment is recorded and followed up appropriately.

We know that the end of semester can be a demanding time, so please remember that Student Support is available if you need help, encouragement or someone to talk to. You don’t have to navigate challenges on your own, even as the academic year draws to a close.

Re-enrolment for 2027

Planning to continue your studies next year? Now is a good time to start thinking about your 2027 enrolment.

Please check in with Neroli if you have questions about your programme, the courses you should take next, or the re-enrolment process. Getting in touch early will help you feel prepared for the year ahead.

Final Grades

Final grades are scheduled to be released on Friday 20 November. Please keep an eye on your usual communication channels for confirmation and any further information about accessing your results.

If you have questions about your grades or are unsure what happens next, please contact Neroli.

Take a well-earned break

Thank you for being part of the Carey community this year. We are grateful for the ways you have contributed to our learning community and for the many different contexts in which you are growing and serving.

As you finish assessments, celebrate the completion of your studies or prepare for another year of learning, we encourage you to make space for rest, connection and time with God. We pray that the coming weeks will bring renewal and refreshment, and that you will continue to grow in confidence as you live out your calling wherever God leads you next.

Ngā mihi nui, and congratulations on all you have achieved this year!

Revisit Your Favourite Karakia Message

Our weekly Karakia gatherings have been a special part of the year, giving us opportunities to worship, learn, and connect as a community. With our final Karakia for 2026 now behind us, we’re grateful for the time we’ve shared together.

Although we won’t be gathering for Karakia again this year, you can still revisit your favourite messages or catch up on a session you missed by listening to the recordings on our podcast. Why not take a moment to reflect on a message that encouraged or challenged you as you finish the semester?
