Rangitoto Summit Diploma

The Rangitoto Summit Diploma is designed to support and challenge our Year 9 and 10 students, encouraging well-rounded development across academic and personal domains.

There are three levels of achievement within the diploma:

• White – First level

To be awarded a diploma at any level, students must meet the criteria in five out of six categories:

1. Academic Achievement

5. Attendance
6. Behaviour

The Rangitoto Summit Diploma recognises students across six key areas of achievement:
