We are pleased to report that another of last year’s Year 13 International Baccalaureate Diploma students has now been awarded 40 points  bringing the ’40 and over’ total to seven students from last year’s cohort of 39.  These seven students will be honoured at the New Zealand IB Schools High Achievers Awards Ceremony at Government House, Auckland, in the presence of the Governor General Lt Gen The Right Honourable Sir Jerry Mateparae.

The updated IB Diploma results are listed below.

2013 results in the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB)

At the end of 2013, our fourth cohort of 39 Year 13 International Baccalaureate Diploma students completed their two year course of study, culminating in their final external examinations. As in the previous years, the results achieved by our students in the Diploma programme were outstanding.

We are particularly proud of the seven students who gained 40 points and over from a maximum of 45. (See below for an explanation of the point system.) This places these students amongst the top candidates in the world. Of particular note, Cai Xuan (Susan) Ji gained a remarkable 44/45.

85% of our IB students gained their Diploma which compares favorably against the world pass rate of 80% (2013). These results place our top IB Diploma students in an advantageous position to gain places in universities in New Zealand and overseas.

Later this term, the following students will be honoured at the New Zealand IB Schools High Achievers Awards Ceremony at Government House, Auckland, in the presence of the Governor General Lt Gen The Right Honourable Sir Jerry Mateparae.

NB:  The point scale used for IB subjects is 1 (poor) to 7 (best).  Students take six subjects = 42 points. A further 3 additional points is available based on individual performance in the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge. Therefore, the maximum available point is 45.

HL = Higher Level SL = Standard Level

Three subjects are studied in depth at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL). Students decide which subjects they will study at Higher Level at the end of the second term in Year 12.

*Additional points

A maximum of 3 extra points can be gained for successful completion of the Theory of Knowledge course and the Extended Essay but to be eligible for the diploma, students must also meet the requirements of Creativity, Action and Service.
