2025 NCEA Scholarship successes for WSC-NPoW

Congratulations to all of our Western Springs College students and Ngā Puna O Waiōrea ākonga who achieved a New Zealand NCEA Scholarship(s) in their selected subjects, who achieved a total of 38 Scholarships – with three of these achieving an “Outstanding” distinction! We also had a number of Year 12 students in 2025 who also achieved Scholarships, which is an amazing achievement! Congratulations to you all, and we wish you all the best for 2026 and beyond.
