Scholarship results 2019

Scholarship is the most demanding and prestigious of secondary school examinations and is sat in the subjects studied by the senior students.

In 2019, eleven of our senior students gained a Scholarship pass. They achieved a total of 26 single Scholarships, of which two of them were Outstanding Scholarships. (This compares with 46 of which seven were Outstanding in 2018 and 28 Scholarships in 2017).

Three of our senior students gained four or more Scholarships – 2019 Dux, Simon Han achieving five subject Scholarships and Proxime Accessit, Henry Mandeno four subject Scholarships, and along with Lucy Simmonds and Aaron Taylor will receive the ‘Scholarship Award’ and will receive $2,000 per annum for three years towards their tertiary studies, for gaining three or more Scholarships. While Jana Stokes was our top academic performer in these tough examinations, gaining four Scholarships, but two at ‘Outstanding’ level. Jana will receive a ‘Top Scholar Award’ – having been ranked in the top 58 academic students nationwide – receiving $5,000 per annum for three years for her tertiary studies.

A full set of results was as follows – Note that [O] = Outstanding Scholarship:

• Fengyuan (Simon) Han - Chinese, Statistics, Calculus, Geography, History
