Rangitikei College students Makuni Paulger, 16, and Tori Tuau, 17, have been trialling a new app on their cellphones and no one has told them off for using it at school.
The app NCEAPAL designed by Rangitikei deputy principal Jeff King enables students to track their NCEA credits any time.
"The idea came about when we were talking about students losing track of their credits all the time.
"Our principal, Karene Biggs, said it would be great to have a phone app because students always have their phones with them," Mr King said.
The deputy principal contacted Wasim Talim, a former student now studying in Wellington, and they got to work on developing the app.
