College top achievers celebrate
Ois´ın Casey-Galloway named dux.
The CHB College senior prizegiving was held this month at the Pukeora Estate main hall. The guest speaker was MP Elect for Wairarapa, Mike Butterick, who reminded students they needed to be brave and step outside their comfort zone in order to make the most of their time and abilities and to persevere. He also urged them to keep in contact with their friends and to get around the table and contribute to making a difference to their community.
CHB College principal Lance Christiansen said, “Over the evening, scholarships were awarded to our Year 13 students to the value of $129,000. Of those, $18,000 were from college scholarships, and we thank all those organisations and individuals who contribute to these each year. The other $111,000 are scholarships awarded to our students via universities or other tertiary institutions. This is an outstanding achievement for our senior leavers and a credit to their hard work and the support of their teachers. We are very proud of them all and wish them the best as they move into their futures outside of school with great confidence.”
