Today is results day for NCEA the NZ equivalent of GCE ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels (although seems much more complicated than when I did my ‘O’ levels!). There are 3 levels depending on what year you are in (11, 12, 13) with Level 1 being taken by year 11 students like Eleanor. Students can pass at three grades; achieved; achieved with merit and achieved with excellence. Our clever daughter passed with excellence and we are very proud. She has been hankering after a pair of Dr Martin boots for a year and was promised a pair as an incentive to work hard and pass well – here is Eleanor in her new boots. Well deserved!
