Connor (Head Boy) and Mathew (Deputy Head Boy) have achieved outstanding success across a range of areas including academic, film-making, leadership and sport.  Both have Level 2 NCEA endorsed with Excellence and both earned NCEA national scholarships as Year 12 students.  

Mathew has been selected as one of New Zealand's top five  young scientists to attend the World Science Conference in Jerusalem.  

Connor has excelled in public speaking, debating and acting, winning regional competitions and national attention.  

Oscar McGuire, Desiree Heinze-Farrington and George Sabonadiere had already done remarkably well, being selected from a written test for the semi-final. George Sabonadiere was placed second in what was essentially a sudden-death spell-off. He will be flown to Wellington in October to compete in the New Zealand Spelling Bee final with 15 other finalists from around New Zealand. Congratulations, George!
