In New Zealand, students move from primary school to secondary school at about 12/13 years of age. 

Internal assessments and examinations in NCEA (the National Certificate of Educational Achievement) take place at Levels 1, 2 and 3, usually between the ages of 15 and 18.  

Level 2 or 3 NCEA results contribute towards acceptance into university. All fees for NCEA examinations (currently $383.30) are included in our International Tuition Fee.
