Springbank School is proud of the excellent academic achievements of our students each year. Several senior students have received the Cambridge International Top in New Zealand awards for subjects including ICT (computing), English Language, German, and French.

Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards are a group of awards issued by Cambridge Assessment International Education. They recognise exceptional learner achievement in Cambridge examinations around the world. The primary purpose of these awards is to celebrate and recognise the success of high-performing Cambridge learners.

All Cambridge Assessment International Education students are eligible for the prestigious ‘Top in the World’ award. In those countries where Cambridge examinations are taken by more students, a wider range of awards are available, including ‘Top in Country’, ‘Best Across’ and ‘High Achievement’.

- Top in the World is awarded to the students who perform exceptionally well in a specific Cambridge subject globally.

- Top in Country (New Zealand) is awarded to the students who score the highest mark of all candidates in that subject, across the entire country.

- Best Across is awarded to the students who perform exceptionally well across multiple Cambridge subjects.

- High Achievement is awarded to the students who achieve the top mark in New Zealand, in a subject that is less commonly taken.
