In NZ, students sit external exams at the end of Yr 11, Yr 12 and Yr 13 ie the last three years of school. Not all assessments are external, there are a number that are internally assessed. There are three levels of "passing" Achieved, Achieved with Merit and Achieved with Excellence. To Achieve, a student must get 80 credits including some Literacy and Numeracy. To get Merit, 50 of those credits must be at the Merit level and the same for Excellence.
Further, a student can gain an Endorsed Subject
So results for 2011:
Colin: Achieved Level 1, Merit Endorsement in Maths
Ross: Achieved with Merit level 2. Merit Endorsement in Economics and Chemistry and Excellence Endorsement for Maths (in fact third overall in Maths)
So proud of both of them given the c**p year they had! Roll on 2012 and even better results

You were really quick too speedy - you saw my blog before I got a chance to proof read it...all fixed now I think.
Jenny, that is wonderful. Well done to them both. And I bet there is a little glow in your heart that they do so well in Maths. :)
They are both a credit to you, Jenny. Miss 16 got level 2 endorsed with merit and also merit endorsements in History and RE (of all things!)
