St Kevin’s College’s has a proud tradition of academic success. Our philosophy of providing pathways for all learners no matter what their passion, particular career path or further educational directions produces outstanding academic results for both our students and the school as a whole.

Our achievement in NCEA is well recognised with our results significantly higher than comparable schools and better than some of “the best schools in the country”.
Our academic success is evidenced equally in the achievement of both our boys and girls.

Both our boys and girls achieve similarly impressive results when compared to their peers in other schools, both single sex and coeducational.
