Wearing that distinctive red & blue striped tie is becoming a statement of attitude and intent as more and more boys set themselves academic challenges and work hard to achieve them.

With over 50 students at Level 1 & 2 gaining Excellence Endorsements and higher, it's hardly surprising to hear that the college's academic results from 2016 are the best ever.

With 99%, 100%, and 93% respective pass rates at Level 1, 2 & 3 NCEA, it is difficult, if not impossible to find another school in the country that can match this. On top of this, we have have unprecedented success by many other measures as well, as students opt for other qualifications such as NZQA Scholarships or the IB Diploma.

Most pleasing is the continued high & improving level of the GPA (Grade Point Average) which is a measure of quality rather than quantity. The GPA allows us to compare our results with our previous years and to focus on continued improvement. The verdict for 2016? A personal best for team McGlashan!
