NCEA
For all students who entered a Secondary School in years up to 2025, NCEA is the way in which New Zealand students are assessed in schools.
This is either done externally (with an end of year exam) or internally (by teachers in the school) or a mixture of both. Each subject is divided into ‘standards’ with a certain number of ‘credits’ which students earn when they pass the standard. To gain a Level and go on to the next the following year, students need to earn a certain number of credits.
NCEA Level 1
80 credits needed — 10 must be in literacy (English or Te Reo Maori), and 10 in numeracy (Maths).
NCEA Level 2
60 credits are needed from Level 2 or higher, plus 20 Literacy and Numeracy credits.
Year 13 / NCEA Level 3
60 credits are needed at Level 3 plus 20 Literacy and Numeracy credits.
Please email our Deputy Principal Chance Vlaadingerbroek to discuss your son's level.

Kaupapa Māori and tikanga Māori continue to be highly valued by leaders, staff, students and whānau and significant in the everyday life of the school. Leaders have created a positive school culture based on high expectations for learning and respectful relationships between students and with staff. Teachers are resourceful and adaptive in designing programmes of learning and assessment practices to meet the learning needs and aspirations of the students; learning is purposeful and students are engaged. Leadership, with the board, provides clear direction for teaching and learning through considered strategic improvement priorities and targets focused on improved student outcomes.
