Cedric chose to study at a high school in Wellington for two reasons. The first was the extensive offering of world class programmes, from a wide choice of languages to elite sports programmes to digital and creative technologies.
The region is driven by a highly skilled, professional workforce, with over one third of Wellington residents holding a bachelor degree or higher. Wellington residents enjoy the highest incomes and lowest unemployment rates in New Zealand.
