EXAMINATION RESULTS 2018 Academic excellence sits at the heart of all we do at Diocesan. We are one of the top achieving schools in New Zealand across any measure and our students continue to perform exceptionally well in the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
NCEA We are immensely proud of our NCEA results for 2018. There were a couple of girls at each level who were unable to enter or finish the course through sickness or late arrival to Diocesan in the year. If we remove those girls from the calculations, we have a 100% pass rate at each level. This is quite remarkable that even as the challenge increases for each level, Diocesan girls have maintained their focus and success. However, Diocesan girls don’t just like to pass, they aim to be the best they can be, and it is the rates of endorsements of which we are so proud. Almost all girls across the three levels have their certificate endorsed with merit or excellence – more than 85% at Levels 2 and 3 and 95% at Level 1. These rates are more than double the national levels of endorsement.

International Baccalaureate Results in the IB Diploma were again excellent. IB scores are calculated out of 45 and a total of 24 is needed to be awarded the Diploma. In 2018, six girls scored 40 or higher and were acknowledged at the National Awards ceremony. This is an outstanding achievement for these girls. Overall the pass rate was 92%.
