Scholarship Success 2025
New Zealand Scholarship is an award that recognises top secondary school students.
NZ Scholarship assessments are designed to be challenging for the most able students in each subject. Assessment is by either a written or spoken examination or by the submission of a portfolio or report of work produced throughout the year.
To be awarded the NZ Scholarship, students are expected to show deep understanding of the subject, demonstrate high-level critical thinking and the ability to apply their understanding to complex situations.
Students who achieve NZ Scholarship receive a monetary award towards tertiary study in New Zealand. This ranges from a one-off $500 payment for a single subject award to $10,000 per year for up to 3 years for premier award winners.

Congratulations to each and every student who gained scholarships, we are extremely proud of you and know the effort that went into this success.
Thanks go to all our teachers, particularly those who ran scholarship programmes last year. Your dedication, commitment and expertise are very much appreciated. It is important to note that to obtain a scholarship, candidates must be in the top 3% of marks and 1% to obtain an Outstanding scholarship. These results signify we have many top academic boys at a National level. Special thanks to Mrs Mary Graham and Mr Jason Cornford who are key drivers in this area with dedicated teachers.
