But DID YOU ALSO KNOW that our world beating security platforms look after students, office workers, nurses, doctors, patients, prison officers, bankers, miners and many, many more, all over the globe.

The success of the 2013 season for the Tasman Makos just would not have happened without the support the team gained and earned from the coaches and administrators alike. The Makos gained respect in New Zealand rugby by the way they played the game and were justifiably rewarded in winning the championship final in a very tense encounter against Hawkes Bay in Nelson.

  • Rugby Player in the Region and and Members for Their Tireless Efforts
    THE BulletinAPRIL 2013 The Magazine of the Nelson College Community 1 From the Acting Headmaster – Mr Tim Tucker The staff and students of the school have been busy in recent months. Even more gratifying is that the industry has been rewarded with many many fantastic results. It remains that the provision of high quality courses and the best possible education for our boys are our greatest priorities. The opening of the Gibbons Trade Education Centre is one example of the Old Boys, Community and College working together to provide the best for our boys. The Centre is a modern purpose-built facility which is providing students with the highest quality preparation for a career in their chosen trades area. I would like to acknowledge all the sponsors and supporters of this project but especially the Gibbons family. The family was personally involved in the project at all stages and willingly gave considerable time and resources to ensure the highest quality results. The Education Review Office visited the school in August 2012 to assess the quality of teaching and learning occurring at Nelson College. The ERO visit involves a great deal of investigative work from their team and extensive review of our courses and policies. Nelson College is one of only 15% of schools nationwide to receive the highest grade of review. The grade of review is measured by the length of time until the next visit – ours will be five years! Perhaps most importantly it is reassurance from the highest level that we are delivering high quality learning in a positive and motivating environment or as ERO put it, "students are highly engaged in learning" ..

  • Nelson College Bulletin 2016
    the bulletin December 2016 The Magazine of the Nelson College Community 1 Message from the Headmaster Dux 2016 Tena koutou katoa Congratulations to 2016 Dux recipient Finn Thompson The core business of the College continues to be to equip young men with the social and academic knowledge, skills and attitudes which will enable them to make considered and safe choices in their transition into adulthood. This has been endorsed in another outstanding Education Review Offi ce report from the visit in September this year. We have been accorded a second 4-5 year review cycle, placing us, as a school, at the highest level of performance recognition. Whilst the report is not a public document yet, at Senior Prizegiving I disclosed a paragraph about the quality of teaching. The ERO inspection team stated that: “Students appreciate the choices and responsive teaching methods they benefi t from at the school. The opportunity for authentic learning in many subject areas is raising student engagement and achievement. High expectations are clearly stated and evident for all and student successes are widely celebrated.” I cannot speak too highly of the quality of teaching and non-teaching staff at this school. Their commitment to the welfare and positive development of the boys is simply outstanding and they are core to the success that the boys and the College have achieved. Academic Performance The boys continue to perform well above the National average in all areas of academic attainment, including NCEA, Photo courtesy Vibeke Friis Trade Qualifi cations, Scholarship and Cambridge Examinations. In particular the broad achievement benchmark targets set by the Minister for all New Zealand schools for 2017 have already been attained, or are close to being achieved.

  • December 2013
    THE BulletinDecember 2013 The Magazine of the Nelson College Community 1 From the Headmaster Kia ora As Headmaster it is with a great deal of pride that I can report that 2013 has been another exceptional year in almost every area of College life. Our hosting of the QUAD tournament saw a large number of Old Boys visit the College and over 120 enjoyed an excellent dinner in the College Hall, catered by our Year 12 Food & Hospitality class. It was heartening to see a 40 years on reunion group as well as three separate 1st XV groups gathered to share memories and to celebrate their time at the College. The following are extracts from my Senior Prizegiving address which elaborate on some highlights:- SENIOR PRIZEGIVING ADDRESS 2013 has seen over 40 Boys honoured with BOT medallions and will take their place on the Honours Board recognizing their achievements of being selected for a NZ representative team, event, or winning a NZ title. They have achieved this level of distinction in a diverse and varied selection of academic areas, sporting codes or co-curricula activities. The Arts have continued to flourish. In music a multitude of outstanding performances both at College events and in the Community have occurred and we are fortunate to have Ms McDowell as the driving force as music remains at the centre of College life. In Drama, the highlight of the year was a quite stunning and innovative interpretation of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet written and directed by our Head of Drama Mr Walton, outstanding results were also recorded in Theatre sports and in the Shakespeare Festival, where once again a boy was selected as a NZ Shakespeare scholar and he will travel to London next year.
