SENIOR PRIZEGIVING Yesterday Thursday 2 November, we held our Senior Academic Prizegiving in the D C Price Auditorium. The evening was very enjoyable and a proud occasion for us to celebrate the academic successes of our Senior Students. Thank you to our guest speaker, Tony Renshaw, who was our Year 9 Dean and has retired after 28 years of service to RLHS. Tony was also HOH Tikitapu, an avid supporter of Education Outside the Classroom Programmes and was our main announcer at all Lakes High sporting events. Also, a big thank you to the Mayor, Steve Chadwick for supporting and attending our prizegiving. We also thank our special guest, Jackie Woodland, Ngati Whakaue Endownment Trust Education Advisor who attends and supports our prizegiving every year. A massive thank you to all staff who organized this event and worked so hard to make it a success. I am delighted and honoured to announce and congratulate our 2017 Top Scholars and all of our prize winners:
