Congratulations to Mr Rosenberg who was awarded the services to cricket award by the Dunedin Cricket Association.
The Dunedin Cricket Association (DCA)did not hold the annual awards evening due to the coronavirus.
But the awards were allocated last night and there are some very worthy recipients. perhaps none more so than our own St Hilda’s Collegiate coach Neil Rosenberg.
Rosenberg received the services to cricket award for being ‘‘an absolute legend in the girls secondary school cricket environment [and] leading St Hilda’s cricket from 1998 to 2019’’, Otago Cricket Association operations manager Tim O’Sullivan said in a release
Mr Rosenberg guided the team to two national titles (2016 and 2019) and led the side into the national finals for 10 consecutive seasons from 2010-19.
‘‘Neil has been a positive influence on our game and Dunedin Cricket wish to thank him and congratulate him on his successes and service,’’ O’Sullivan said.
‘‘Neil has inspired many girls to be part of the game and has mentored them and followed [their] progress from school to national domestic level for the Sparks and he his very proud of his White Fern, Kate Heffernan.’’

St Hilda’s students participated in two Digital Technologies challenges during February and March, with many gaining impressive results. The first challenge was the NCSS (National Computer Science School) Challenge, run by the University of Syndey and GROK Learning. It is a 5-week programming challenge in which students solve problems in either the Python or Blockly programming languages. This year, there were over 18,000 students from across the world competing in the on-line competition.
The second was the Bebras Challenge. The Bebras Computing Challenge introduces computational thinking to students. It is organized in over 30 countries and designed to get students all over the world excited about computing. Each participant gets 45 minutes to answer a set of multiple-choice questions that focus on computational and logical thinking.
Congratulations to the following students on their outstanding results in the challenges:
