The graphs below are generated by NZQA at the beginning of February and show St Catherine's academic results (blue) compared with the national rates (red) and the 6-8 Schools Band (green).

This is not just applicable to 2022; this academic achievement level is consistent, as illustrated in the graphs.

In 2022 we received an Academic Scholarship in Drama.

These outstanding academic results reflect the continuing high standards of our students and staff. Teachers and Deans know each student, their whānau, their cultural identity, and their story and work with them to achieve their goals. Achieving is part of St Catherine's culture.

Students are guided and supported to perform to their potential. Our small class numbers are an advantage to students and staff, who enjoy close working relationships with their students. Achieving is about more than success at the Scholarship level. It is about students stretching and challenging themselves to perform to their full potential. It is about striving to bring to life the College's core values.

Te Tapu o Te Tangata - Respect
Te aroha - Compassion
Te awhinatanga - Service
Tika - Justice
Te aroha kite rawakore - Concern for poor and vulnerable
Te manaakitanga - Hospitality
