Awards Assembly - 04.11.26
Kia ora, School. Please be seated.
I’d like to invite Head Student - Frank Gilligan forward to deliver today’s Reading.
Today’s reading comes from Colossians 3, Chapters 23-25
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favouritism.
This is the word of the lord
(Thanks be to God)
Rectors Comments:
Thank you, Frank
Today we present our Level 3 Academic Colours, along with recognising those students who have placed second and third in their NCEA courses at Levels 1, 2 and 3. Academic Colours recognise boys who have achieved outstanding results within our Academic Cornerstone.
Many of our Level 3 students or are on track to achieve or have achieved their level three. Please ensure that you aspire to obtain merit or excellence endorsement and your University Entrance. A number of boys will also sit NZ Scholarship examinations in the coming weeks, the most challenging secondary school examinations in New Zealand. So today is an opportunity to recognise those young men who have excelled in the classroom throughout the year.
As you know, we have Senior Prizegiving on Friday, when we will recognise those who have come first in each senior subject at NCEA Levels 1–3, along with our Dux and other major service and leadership awards.
However, finishing in the top three in a subject is also a significant achievement, and that is why today we recognise those boys who have finished second or third. In some cases, boys have missed the top award by just a fraction of a percentage point, so their achievement certainly deserves recognition as well.
Last week we held our Sports Awards Dinner, which was a tremendous evening. In terms of our major awards, congratulations to the Shooting team for being named Team of the Year, and to the following boys who received our special individual awards:
Effort & Attitude in Sport – Clarke Sweet Cup: Charlie East
Best Games Player – Todd Stembridge Cup: Te Awarangi Puketapu-Pene
Best All-Rounder/Athlete – MacGregor Cup: Andrew Wakefield
Please show your respect for every recipient who comes forward today. We are recognising a full year’s worth of hard work and effort, and every boy deserves the same level of acknowledgement, whether he is the first person called up or the last.
I’ll now hand over to Assistant Rector Mrs Duncan to read out today’s academic award winners.
