This year, Otago Girls' had eight students compete in the ICAS English and ICAS Writing competitions. It was fantastic to see these students extend their thinking and take on the challenge of extra examinations. We were delighted with the results and congratulate each student for their achievement. A special mention goes to Lauren Gibbens for winning the ICAS Writing medal, recognising her as the top Year 9 student in New Zealand.
