Achievement Data
Sharing Our 2024 Achievement Data
Kia ora e te whānau,
We are pleased to share a snapshot of our student achievement data from 2024. This data helps us understand how our tamariki are progressing across key learning areas and plays an important role in shaping our teaching and learning programmes.
We are incredibly proud of the mahi our ākonga (students) and kaiako (teachers) do every day. Our kaiako are committed to growing their teaching practice, delivering high-quality learning programmes, and holding high expectations for all students. This ongoing dedication makes a real difference for our learners. We also acknowledge the vital role that you, our parents and whānau, play in your child’s learning journey. Your support, encouragement, and partnership are deeply valued and help create strong foundations for student success both at school and at home.
Below is a summary of our 2024 school-wide achievement data showing learners in relation to the NZC, operating at or above the expected level:
Learning Area | School | Māori | Girls | Boys |
Numeracy | 93% | 96% | 96% | 93% |
Reading | 94% | 94% | 95% | 93% |
Writing | 79% | 74% | 85% | 74% |
These results reflect the strong focus Welbourn places on teaching and learning, and we look forward to continuing this journey in 2025. We will be sharing our mid-year progress data at the end of term 2.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Ngā mihi nui,

When exploring our feelings, we are growing a language which helps us internalise the vocabulary attached to an experience. This helps develop skills on an emotional level, enabling us to grow into well regulated adults. The image below might be helpful for you to use when the need arises.
