The academic successes of Taranaki Diocesan School for Girls students were celebrated last month.
Students who received Excellence and Merit endorsements in last year's NCEA exams were congratulated during a special assembly at the school.
Principal Matt Coleman says the school is proud to recognise the hard work and effortthat the girls have put into their learning at Taranaki Dio.
"With outstanding pastoral support, superb individual academic mentoring for senior students and focus on 21st-century learning dispositions, students that stay for five years through to the completion of their Year 13 do exceptionally well academically, always achieving above national averages in NCEA Level 3 and University Entrance."
Matt says the consistently high overall NCEA pass rates at Taranaki Dio demonstrate that students clearly strive for personal excellence in a wide range of subjects. The board of trustees and staff are delighted with the results, he says.
"These senior girls are wonderful role models to our junior students providing inspiration and demonstrating an attitude of focused determination leading to continued learning pathways and success beyond school."
