Our third Diploma Programme cohort from NAISHK achieved an impressive 100% Diploma pass rate which compares very favourably to the global picture of 79%. This is especially remarkable considering we are a non-selective school.
40% of our students were awarded the Bilingual Diploma for completing the full programme in a language other than their mother tongue. We are so very proud of this achievement.
Principal, Mr Duncan praised the hard work of both students and teachers in achieving these examination outcomes adding: “I am delighted that our students once again achieved a 100% pass rate and are enjoying such a high measure of individual success despite the significant challenges they have faced throughout both their IGCSE and IBDP studies, challenges which significantly disrupted the normal flow of school life.
Results globally are significantly down on previous years as the examining body, IBO, attempts to re-align the exam outcomes with pre-Covid times. The global debate about results should not detract from the incredible efforts of students to learn and teachers to teach. Students have worked hard during an extremely difficult time in their secondary education – and we should focus on celebrating their achievements. 40% of examinations were awarded a Level 6 or 7, which is the equivalent to an A or A* at Advanced Level. 10% of our students achieved a world class score of 40 points or above (the equivalent of 4 A* grades), while 30% achieved 35 points or above – the equivalent of three A* grades at Advanced Level.
We are incredibly proud of all our IB pupils and I would like to congratulate each one of them on their impressive successes. Alongside their IB studies, this cohort have made outstanding contributions to the wider aspects of school life during their time at NAIS Hong Kong.
We wish them every success as they head off to a wide range of international destinations.”
