For NCEA read A levels and GCSEs.
It has been an intense study and exam period in this house of late.
Last week the results came out for Joe and Eleanor. None of this letter in the post or going down to the school to see the results. It is now all online off course.
Anyway we are a happy family. Joseph passed level 1 NCEA (or is that past?). He did well in his exams, passing all bar one having done rather less well than that in the mocks! So well done to Joe, we are very pleased.
Eleanor passed level 3 with excellence-a great achievement. This puts her in the top 3% or so of candidates. She also achieved excellence in English and German-a new way of presenting results this year. She earned enough points to be accepted for her conjoint degree at Auckland-Law and BA-doing German, politics and philosophy. Lots of work, many years and lots of costs ahead.
Well done Eleanor. we are very proud of you.
Here’s to them.
