Description

pg1The biggest event of the school calender graced the Town Hall on Thursday night, with a special performance by old girl, Aivale Cole, who is now an internationally reknowned opera singer.

With an increased focus on academic prizes, the night culminated in the announcement of the top scholars in each senior year level.

  • Year 13 - Julia Wells (dux), Maddy Cormack (approxime accessit)
  • Year 12 - Catherine Ireland
  • Year 11 - Sarah Blackmore, Rebecca Howan, Rowena Woodhams

Julia has been a consistently outstanding scholar, gaining top in the seven subject class in Year 11 and top of Year 12 with over 100 credits at an Excellence level last year.  She is heavily involved in debating, being named in the Wellington team and winning the national title with them, and in Physics, where she was selected to go to Japan after her team won the IYPT NZ finals. 

She was also awarded a service prize for her work with debating coaching and adjudicating and her work with the Active Collective, where she co-organised a nationally televised political protest earlier this year.
