Howick College Awardees of 2008

Pictured above are the Howick College Awardees of 2008. The Howick College Award is the most prestigious award made to students at the college. It is awarded to students who have made outstanding commitment to the various areas of school life – academic, sporting and/or cultural and service. Awardees have gained maximum benefit from their time at school, but equally they have given much to the school for the benefit of others.

We want all of our students to aspire to gaining a Howick College Award. We also encourage students to achieve highly in individual fields of endeavour and are delighted that many gain top awards in academic, sporting and cultural areas.

• Top student in New Zealand in Year 9 in the Australasian Schools’ Science competition and top in New Zealand in Year 13 English
