Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,
Thank you to those of you who attended the Senior Prizegiving last week. It was a wonderful night of celebration which showcased our students in all of their areas of strength, academic, cultural and sporting. Congratulations too to Fergus McMullan who was awarded our Dux of the College prize. I have spent some time today speaking with Fergus about the role of women in religion in the lead up to his scholarship exam on the topic. I think I can safely say what makes a Dux, apart from hard work, is an enquiring mind and the discipline to follow that through! Good luck Fergus!
One award I omitted to mention on the senior prize giving list was the Mana Pounamu scholarship won in the senior section by Oshyn Guthrie and the junior by Hannah Burke. The award is in recognition of the achievement of Māori students across a wide range of activities and carries significant weight. Both students were worthy winners and we look forward to seeing what they achieve in the future. The award is presented in Dunedin at the Otago University College of Education to students from around the region. We are very proud of these fine young women who have a variety of skills in sport and cultural activites.

This weekend I will be traveling to Auckland with Jimmy and Russell Dixon to catch up with our Alumni in the North. We will be presenting at the Rydges Hotel on Sunday 20th at 7pm. We are keen for anyone who is available to join us to hear where our future plans are taking us as we emerge into this new era. I will feature this event in the blog for next week.
Have a safe and happy week.
God Bless
Jo
