Another year of impressive NCEA achievement

St Andrew’s College students once again achieved impressive success in NCEA, with a total of 274 Excellence endorsements across all three year levels (98 at Level 1, 99 at Level 2, and 77 at Level 3), and 100 per cent of students gaining NCEA at Level 2. This was the College’s second-best result ever and was incredibly pleasing given the disruptions caused by COVID-19 over the last three years. Congratulations to all students who gained overall Excellence endorsements, along with the many students who gained subject endorsements.
