Scholarship Winners offer advice.

Jo Harford —

Several of the boys who gained scholarships last year returned to school to attend a special assembly this week.

In addition to being congratulated by Mr Reddiex at senior assembly for being King's and Otago's most successful scholarship cohort, the boys held a discussion in the library at lunchtime. The boys, along with our Academic Dean, Mr Brewster, shared their experiences of completing scholarship courses with students from years 12 and 13 who are planning to undertake scholarship courses this year. 

The 2016 winners discussed aspects such as the Scholarship Club, personal challenges and the importance of diligence and study throughout the year.

This is the second year we have run this session. We believe it is important for potential students to hear about the demands and challenges from those who have been through it and have relevant, valuable advice to impart.
