Report to the Christ's College Community 2026

Academic performance Christ’s College is committed to providing an excellent teaching and learning environment. This focus shapes all of its academic programmes and daily operations. We work to bring innovative teaching into classrooms while still respecting the rich traditions of the school. Our main goal is to help students consistently reach their full potential. The tables below show student performance over the last two academic years. Instead of the standard NCEA Level 1 programme, Year 11 students complete the Christ's College Diploma. The

Diploma is achieved at three levels: Black and White, Silver, and Gold. To earn a Silver or Gold endorsement in this programme, students need to meet specific academic engagement and co-curricular standards. This recognises both their hard work in the classroom and their active involvement in the wider life of College. Year 11 students are still required to sit and meet the NCEA Level 1 co-requisite standards.
