Curriculum & Exam Results

We are immensely proud of our excellent NCEA results across all levels for 2023. Diocesan had 98% of girls achieving University Entrance, which is more than double the National Average. Diocesan girls aim to be the best they can be and it is also the rates of endorsements of which we are so proud. Almost all girls across the three levels have their certificate endorsed with merit or excellence.

We are delighted with the achievements of our IB Diploma Programme students in 2023. Four of our students scored 40+ and will be recognised at the prestigious ‘Top Scholar Awards Ceremony’ this year. Achieving an IB Diploma score of 40 points or more places these students in the top 6% of students across the world. We are very proud of the achievements of these students and watch with interest where their studies take them in the future.

Students at Diocesan School for Girls continue to gain exceptional results in New Zealand’s top scholarship examinations.

In total Diocesan students were awarded 37 scholarships in 2023. The scholarships were spread across faculties and reflect outstanding achievements across the broad spectrum of subjects. Sammy Smith and Emma Herrick are our top scholars, receiving three scholarships each.

Well done to Amelia Frear, a Year 12 student at Diocesan School, who achieved the highest mark in History nationwide in the 2023 scholarship examination, earning her the title of top scholar in New Zealand. Her dedication to learning led her to begin university a year ahead of schedule.
