2018 - a massive year for scholarships
In 2018, 19 senior students (including four Year 12s - Alice Cao, Jana Stokes, Victoria Tucker and Simon Han) achieved 46 single subject scholarships between them, of which seven were outstanding scholarships. In 2017 we gained just 28 scholarships, while our best ever results prior to this were 47 in 2015 and 43 in 2012.
While the number of scholarships gained is absolutely pleasing, even more so is that three of our senior students (including 2018 Dux Alice Cao) have been named as “top scholars” in New Zealand, having achieved five scholarships and being ranked in the top 56 academic students nationwide who undertook these most prestigious of examinations – the other two students were Tony Wu and Conor Horrigan. Tony Wu’s results ranked him an impressive eleventh best candidate in the country.
