Schools can still enter the 2020 Olympiads and write on your preferred dates until the end of 2020.
Conquesta is a long-time favourite with many schools due to their annual olympiads and awesome past papers. Their papers are based on what the learners have been taught during the first two terms of the year. They cater for grades 1 to 9 learners and have new papers written every year to keep up-to-date. They cover all the subjects in the curriculum.
ANNUAL OLYMPIADS
EDUCATORS: Their annual Olympiad is still being run this year and due to the lockdown, schools can get their learners to write on any dates to suit their agenda.
PARENTS: If your children are not attending school, get together with other parents and form a ‘home school’ so that they have one central point to send papers to – enter your children so that they can at least participate in a great form of testing.
Everything is provided and couriered to your doorstep and all papers are personalised for each learner. Remember, they do all the marking and send the results back to you, together with a certificate for each participant.

PAST PAPERS
Conquesta has a vast collection of past papers for use as revision in the classroom and/or at home. Their past papers can be ordered directly online at www.conquestapastpapers.com or you can email africa@conquestapastpapers.com or call 031 764 1972.
Purpose and Vision
Conquesta’s purpose is to encourage and inspire learners to become aware of their self-worth and potential, building up their self-esteem and confidence and acknowledging their efforts, regardless of results. To illuminate to parents and teachers alike each child’s strengths and weaknesses, so they can be nurtured accordingly, and to provide a benchmarking tool where each school can measure their achievements against the national averages of participating schools. Their vision is to enable a sense of achievement within the hearts of all students, including those who are not academically inclined, encouraging them to aspire to their full potential.
TESTIMONIAL:
“My Grade 8 son recently used Conquesta past papers to revise for his 3rd term assessments and I have to say, we found this method of revision so much more convenient than trawling through pages of notes. As the tests are multiple choice, it’s really easy to mark and identify the areas that need further attention and study. I will definitely be using them again and highly recommend them to other parents to make revision a total breeze.” – Bev Delew.
