Enrolling in New Zealand Scholarship assessments is not for the fainthearted. Many St Paul’s Collegiate students took on the challenge in 2022 and the results released in February 2023 have exceeded expectations with 43 Scholarship passes, including six Outstanding. This result is significantly increased from the prior year of 28 scholarships awarded to St Paul’s Collegiate School students.
Top Scholarship awardee for St Paul’s Collegiate School and in the top two in the country was Joanna Li (Harington 2020 – 2022) with nine Scholarships including five Outstanding and first in the country for Geography.
There were 19 St Paul’s students who were recipients of Scholarships. Jeremy Coley, Deputy Headmaster – Curriculum and Assessment, says, “These results are palpable and due to the intrinsic drive, talents and hard work by our senior students. Moreover, it is the high performance culture and vocational commitment from the staff to help prepare them for the rigour of the external Scholarship examinations.”
The students were assessed through written or spoken examinations or through a portfolio of work and had to demonstrate a high-level of critical thinking and applied knowledge. Scholarship recipients are eligible to receive a monetary award towards tertiary study in New Zealand.
