Academic success in NCEA and Scholarship for 2017 was recognised at this week's assembly.

Certificate Endorsement

To attain a Certificate Endorsement in NCEA at Level 1, 2 or 3 a student must gain 50 credits at Excellence and their NCEA will be endorsed with Excellence.

Scholarship

Scholarship provides recognition and monetary reward to top students in their last year of schooling. Scholarship exams enable candidates to be assessed against challenging standards, and are demanding for the most able candidates in each subject.

Scholarship candidates are expected to demonstrate high-level critical thinking, abstraction and generalisation, and to integrate, synthesise and apply knowledge, skills, understanding and ideas to complex situations.

Approximately three per cent of Year 13 students studying each subject at Level 3 are awarded Scholarship, if they reach the standard that has been set.

Congratulations to the following students who achieved Scholarship:
Hamish Dunbar (Agricultural Science), Ben Aicken (English), Louis Low (Biology)
