Achievements

 

Sacred Heart College performed well above national averages at all levels of NCEA in the 2009 examinations. Nationally SHC students have achieved at a level that is more than 30% better than all boys across New Zealand and 25% above all other boys schools (state, private or integrated) in New Zealand. The scholars of 2009 were certainly true to last year's focus pillar of 'Commitment to Diligence'.
