Computer Science Scholarship Winners

Congratulations to Year 13 student Ryan Gilbert (pictured, right) on being awarded a $5000 scholarship to the University of Waikato, for his efforts in the Waikato University Computer Science Scholarship examination. Congratulations also to Year 12 students Logan Krippner and Mitchell Davies, and Year 13 student Cameron Paddy who gained Merit passes in the same examination. A Merit pass means: "At the discretion of the Chairperson of the Computer Science Department, students who obtain a high pass mark in the scholarship examination will be offered a more advanced programme of study at Waikato University."

The students had to sit a two hour theory examination on a Friday, followed by a six hour practical programming and problem solving examination on the Saturday. Congratulations to these students on their efforts, and thanks and congratulations to the Head of the Technology Faculty, Mr Simon Devitt.
