A high rate of top achievement in Languages yet again.
We wish to congratulate all our students who performed so well in their international language in NCEA last year. From Levels 1 to 3, the high rate of success of many language students in 2019 is to be commended. Those students listed below who are currently at Westlake attained Excellence overall in NCEA in Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish at Levels 1 and 2.
To celebrate their achievement, each student has been awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the New Zealand Language Teachers’ Association which they can now add to their portfolio of skills and accomplishments for future employment opportunities.
To their credit, these students have worked diligently to polish their language skills since Year 9. We acknowledge the many other students who also attained sound grades in their chosen international language(s). As teachers, we are encouraged by their fine efforts.
