Academic Achievements for 2025

NCEA

Marsden students consistently achieve outstanding academic results, reflecting expert teaching,
individualised support, and a proactive approach to wellbeing. These elements form the foundation for
success, empowering students to reach their full potential.

Great academic results are just one of the outcomes of a holistic Marsden education. Our goal is for every
student to achieve their personal best, and it is inspiring to see them exceed their own expectations.

The following graph demonstrates the performance of Marsden students in comparison to national data and, in particular, the data for girls. There is strong statistical evidence to show that girls achieve better academic results in a girls’ school environment.

Tertiary Scholarships

Each year, a high proportion of our school leavers are awarded lucrative scholarships to support their tertiary education. To a large extent, these awards are based on academic performance. We are delighted that for many of our students, excellence in school is bringing significant rewards for them at university.  

NZQA Scholarships

Marsden students achieved an impressive 13 New Zealand Scholarships in the 2025 examinations.

Renowned for their rigorous nature, the NZQA Scholarship assessments are specifically tailored to challenge the most able students in each subject.
