A transformative change for Whanganui Collegiate School will be the replacement of NCEA Level 1 with Cambridge International Education and the introduction of the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) in 2024.
Whanganui Collegiate School is committed to delivering a world-class education that empowers students to achieve their personal best. The integration of Cambridge IGCSE into the academic framework marks a significant milestone in the school’s pursuit of excellence, it says.
Cambridge IGCSE is recognised globally as the premier international qualification for students aged 14 to 16, providing a wealth of options for learners.
“At Whanganui Collegiate School, this curriculum will align seamlessly with our Round Square Global membership and promises to deliver a flexible and stimulating educational experience,” said senior master teaching and learning Tash Bullock. “With comprehensive resources and training, Cambridge IGCSE equips our students with the skills of creative thinking, enquiry, and problem-solving, thus enhancing academic performance and serving as a solid foundation for advanced study at Level 2 and Level 3 NCEA.
Through the introduction of IGCSE, Whanganui Collegiate School reiterates our commitment to academic excellence, a pillar of our school,” Bullock said.
