Kia ora Koutou, On Thursday this week, 18 November, we held our Senior Academic. Certainly, a different ceremony due to covid restrictions, nevertheless it was a fantastic event and an absolute pleasure to see our students receive their awards. I am so proud of them given the year we have had. As you know, we had a live stream of the prizegiving and we hope that our school community had the opportunity to watch it. The day was very enjoyable and a proud occasion for us to celebrate the academic successes of our Senior Students. A big thank you to all our students and staff who organized this event, without whom it would not have been so successful. My thanks also to Kaumata Akeepa Taepa and Matt Heke for attending today and for presenting our students with their cups and certificates. I am pleased and honoured to announce and congratulate our 2021 Top Scholars and all of our prize winners: TOP SCHOLAR AWARDS 2021
