Best ever Scholarship results for HBHS

Congratulations must go to the 2012 HBHS New Zealand Scholarship examination candidates, who won a total of 63 Scholarship passes, with 14 of these at Outstanding level.  These are easily the best results HBHS has ever achieved, improving on last year's total by 10.  HBHS Dux of 2012, Deputy Head Prefect and Leader of the Academic Committee, Thomas Simpson, again led by example, achieving 5 Scholarship passes, with 3 at Outstanding level, to go with the Scholarship pass he won in 2011 as a Year 12 student.  Other performers of note include the 2012 Proxime Accessit, David Robinson, who achieved 4 Scholarship passes, with an Outstanding pass in Design, and Year 12 student Christopher Jury, who continues an extraordinary run of results, gaining 3 Scholarship passes, with 2 at Outstanding level.  These go with the Outstanding passes he achieved in 2010 and 2011 as a Year 10 and 11 student.  This year's results are indicative of a growth trend over the past five years, from 24 Scholarship passes in 2008, 48 in 2009 and 2010, and 53 in 2011.  A full list of results will follow shortly, along with profiles and analysis in the Term 1 edition of "The High Achiever".
