NCEA ENDORSEMENTS 2014

Students are awarded merit or excellence endorsements on their NCEA qualifications if they achieve 50 or more credits at merit or excellence level. Gaining an endorsement is a significant achievement and we have recognised these learners at our assemblies, where they received an academic scholars badge and/or appropriate bar.

Following the 2014 examinations these students have an excellence endorsement. At NCEA Level 3 2014 Dux Rachel Martin received a gold bar. At NCEA Level 2 these students were presented with a gold (excellence) bar: Kimberley Barker, Nicholas Hornby, Monica Jones, Sarah Kowalewski, Sarah Malone, Jayde Nahi and Kody Simpson. At NCEA Level 1: Matthew Anderson, Kimberley Barker, Bailey Gavin, Ashley Kowalewski, Jonathan Linders, Caitlin Reardon, Tessa Smith and Dylan Trott were presented with a badge and gold (excellence) bar.
