The National Certificate of Educational Achievement or NCEA, is our national qualification for secondary school students.
NCEA offers a broad and flexible framework that is highly regarded worldwide for challenging all students, including the most able and highly motivated. Dio NCEA students consistently perform well above national averages at our end of year results.
NCEA Standards focuses on learning by inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving and processing information. Rote learning has become insufficient in a system that aims to provide school leavers with knowledge and skills that are transferable in international settings.
This complements our teaching and learning philosophy at Diocesan, which encourages learners who are open to challenge, willing to develop their abilities and achieve their personal best, take risks and accept mistakes, make ethical decisions and enjoy learning.
