For levels 1 and 2 verification, schools are required to send portfolios in a maximum of three colour coded art bags provided by NZQA.

Level 1 submission	This is sent in a blue art bag.
Level 2 submission(s)	These are sent in red art bags. Schools should send submissions from a maximum of two external standards, each in its own red bag. i.e. no more than two red bags for Level 2.

If you are a school new to teaching Visual Arts at either or both levels 1 and/or 2, please complete the order form and return to NZQA.

If your school has lost either blue or red bags you may order more, but your school is required to pay a replacement cost (see the order form).
