Top NCEA & International Baccalaureate Results<br />

The St Margaret's community is proud of the 2016 examination<br />

results for both NCEA and the International Baccalaureate<br />

Diploma. Those with excellence endorsed NCEA and Distinction<br />

in IB are to be congratulated and celebrated. Equally the high<br />

percentage of girls of all abilities should celebrate achieving<br />

their personal academic goals through hard work, perseverance<br />

and the huge support from teachers and parents.<br />

We are committed as educators to empower every girl<br />

to achieve her academic goals. Our commitment to working<br />

towards a current and relevant graduate profile gives each<br />

girl the best start possible in her journey beyond school<br />

where she faces an exponentially changing world of work<br />

in a global society. We educate young women to live<br />

and lead.<br />

to NCEA. Students also excelled in the International<br />

Baccalaureate Diploma with a 100% pass rate. In addition,<br />

four students, Grace Sullivan, Madeleine Tilley, Gabriela<br />

Coates, and Emma Clucas achieved distinction, with 40<br />

marks or higher (out of a possible 45) - putting them in the<br />

top 3% of students in the world.<br />

The students’ academic success has set them in good stead for<br />

their tertiary education, with four girls receiving an Academic<br />

Excellence Scholarship from the University of Otago –<br />

Millie Boren also received a significant scholarship offer<br />

from the prestigious Princeton University in the USA.<br />
