Form 5 students are sitting the Tonga School Certificate (TSC) Examination. Form 6 students sit the Tonga Form Six Certificate (TFSC) Examination and Form 7 sit for the Tonga National Form Seven Certificate (TNFSC) Examination.

On Niuafo'ou, there are 26 exam takers in the Form 5 and 6 levels only.

The Ministry anticipates that the results will be released in early January, 2022.
