The results are in and it is another fantastic academic year for Kristin students who excelled in both the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and NCEA.
Starting with the IB results, Kristin had three students – Angelina Youssef, Michael Feng and Jacob Wang – score 44 out of a possible 45 points. Six students scored 43 points and overall 29 students (36%) scored 40 or more points.
This compares to 9% of students worldwide scoring 40 or more in the May 2023 exam results. By finishing with a score of 40 or higher, it means these particular students all qualify as New Zealand IB Top Scholars and will be recognised at a national ceremony held at Kristin in February.
The average score this year was 36 points and there was a 98% pass rate for Kristin students. These are some of the best results Kristin has ever achieved in the IB Diploma.
In NCEA, students achieved an overall pass rate of 96% at Level 2, with 71% getting endorsement at Merit or Excellence. There was a 94% pass rate at Level 3, with 58% getting endorsement at Merit or Excellence, and 91% of students gained University Entrance (UE).
Kristin’s Senior School offers dual academic pathways with students able to choose the New Zealand curriculum (NCEA) or the IB Diploma Programme. Each year around half of students opt for NCEA while the other half choose the IB Diploma.
Kristin Senior School Principal David Boardman says: “These results across both programmes are testament to the students' hard work and dedication over the past 12 to 24 months. They should all be applauded for this success and we wish them all the best with their future plans. I am sure their time at Kristin will prepare them excellently for any challenges that lie ahead.”
Congratulations to all of the students on their outstanding results.
