Our students' examination results are consistently higher than the national mean average, with one of our students topping the country with her Art History and History marks in 2003 and the Top Scholarship Science Award in 2009.

We shine on the local stage too, where across a broad range of disciplines our students constantly achieve the highest standards of attainment in the Nelson region.
