Below is a table of our results for 2015. I have shown a comparison with national figures to show how successful Liston College is in the NCEA achievements. I would like to congratulate the staff and the students who have worked hard to achieve this level of achievement. I look forward to our current NCEA students contributing to even better results this year.

Year 8 Camp
I visited the Year 8 camp in Karapiro on Thursday. The boys were having a fantastic time, being involved in many activities. It has been a successful week for students and staff alike. I wish to thank Mr Lord and his team for the thorough organisation and supervision. I also wish to acknowledge the parents who gave up their time to assist with the camp. A few of the many photos are included in this newsletter.
