HBHS students also achieved impressive results in the New Zealand Scholarship Examinations, with 61 Scholarship passes attained in 2014. Some of the standout performers include Soumil Singh, who, as a Year 12 student, achieved a record 7 Scholarship passes, James Robertson who achieved 6 Scholarship passes, and Adam Cameron and Sebastien Vanneste who each achieved 5 Scholarship passes. Daniel Carson passed two of his 4 Scholarships at Outstanding level, which is an exceptional achievement.
