Supreme Scholars NZQA Scholarship exams are the highest-level exam high school students can take in New Zealand. The 2021 results have just been released, and Westlake Boys students achieved 225 scholarship passes, surpassing our previous record in 2020 by 12.5%. This included 31 at outstanding scholarship level - our most ever, and we remain one of only two schools to have ever achieved over 200. In addition to this, Nathaniel Williamson our 2021 Dux and Daniel Lee our Proxime Accessit, have placed in the top 12 students in New Zealand as Premier Scholars. Nathaniel achieved Outstanding Scholarships in biology, chemistry, physics, health & physical education, and statistics, and Scholarships in calculus, English and earth & space science. Daniel achieved Outstanding Scholarships in biology, English and media studies, and Scholarships in art history, calculus, chemistry and physics. A further six of our boys - Michael Edwards, Hunter Haynes (year 12), Alex Jobbins, Bond Winiata, Oliver Xu, and Michael Zhou - have achieved ‘Outstanding Scholar’ status by being placed in the top 66 students in the country following their scholarship exams. These eight students (two premier plus six outstanding) in the top 66 are the most of any school in New Zealand. Michael Zhou was also announced the top media studies student in New Zealand. Congratulations to all of our boys who passed these exams and of course their teachers, who go above and beyond to prepare our students for scholarship exams. Nate, Daniel and Michael will be invited to Parliament to receive their awards from the Prime Minister later in the year.
