Update: HBHS Students wins $30,000 Scholarship
Hamilton Boy's High School student Siva Manoharan has been named one of the top eight secondary students in New Zealand. He will soon receive the Premier Scholarship Award, valued at $30,000.00, to cover his tertiary studies. Siva, who was the Hamilton Boy's High School Dux last year, achieved scholarship results in five subjects, including outstanding scholarships in chemistry, mathematics with calculus and statistics and modelling.
Siva’s academic record includes being top in New Zealand in Cambridge AS Level Accounting for two years in a row, as well as gaining the highest result in Information Technology at IGCSE Level. Siva starts at the University of Waikato in 2010 well ahead financially. He’s the recipient of not one but two scholarships from the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences – one for computer science and one for mathematics.
The scholarships will take care of his fees for the first two years of his studies towards a four-year Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, with a double major in the two subjects. We are delighted to see Siva’s hard work realizing such concrete rewards.

HBHS would also like to take this opportunity to extend congratulations to another Premier Scholarship Award recipient from Hamilton: Fairfield College's Paul Johnston – who was the Fairfield College Dux last year. Paul received five outstanding scholarships out of the eight subjects he sat last year, with top awards in biology, chemistry, statistics, economics and also classical studies. This is a deeply impressive academic achievement.
