Premier Scholarship Award for 2012 Dux

2012 HBHS Dux Thomas Simpson (seen here at the senior prizegiving last year) was confirmed as a Premier Scholar as the New Zealand Scholarship examination results were released this week.  The Premier award is given to the ten best Scholarship examination candiates in the country, and with five Scholarships and three Outstanding passes, Thomas becomes the only student in the Waikato region to make this prestigious list.  The award comes with $10 000 per year for three years towards tertiary study, and Thomas heads off to the University of Auckland this year to study law.  Three other HBHS students made the Outstanding Scholarship list, which is comprised of the next 54 best performers in the country.  Year 12 student Christopher Jury, and Year 13 students Alistair Lockley and Segar Manoharan were confirmed as Outstanding Scholars, and will receive $5000 per year for three years towards their tertiary study.  An assembly to honour these students, and the other successful Scholarship candidates, will be held at the school next week.
