Family, friends and senior students gathered in the June Clark Centre to celebrate the many successes in NCEA 2010. Students at all levels who attained either a merit or excellence endorsement were brought on stage to receive certificates recognising their achievement. Those students who achieved an excellence endorsement (50 or more credits at excellence level) were also awarded academic honours badges. The top-achieving student at each level received a cup and a number of students were admitted to the 100 Club.
