Kristin School student scores in top 1% of International Baccalaureate

Sapeer Mayron Reporter from North Shore Times

“I didn’t really have a life.”

That’s how 18-year-old Asher Goddard described his 2022, as he studied hard enough to attain his goal: earn 45 points in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme and get into the university of his dreams.

And he did it – Goddard got the 45 points, a perfect score, putting him in a very small club indeed: the top 1% of IB students all over the world.

He was one of 18,174 students who did the diploma, and the average score was 30.91 points.

Goddard, who has graduated from Kristin School in Albany, is taking his perfect score all the way to the University of Melbourne to study physics.

Goddard and his family came to Auckland five years ago from Crested Butte, Colorado, in time for him to begin school at Kristin.
