Catherine Law

Catherine Law is the principal of Avonside Girls’ High School in Christchurch, New Zealand. She has been an advocate for reforming the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA), emphasizing the need for changes to address underachievement among students over the past decade. While she has not signed a recent letter opposing NCEA reforms, she supports the proposed changes, believing that the current system has not successfully bridged the achievement gap. Law encourages community involvement in the consultation process to shape a revised qualification system that better serves all students.
