Western Heights High School students Ashton McGarvie and Zach Jans achieved scholarship last year.
Despite a tough and unprecedented year in 2020, Tauranga students continued to excel in their academic ventures. More than 10,400 students entered for New Zealand Scholarship examinations in 2020, and of those who sat them, 2148 students were awarded one or more scholarships across the 36 subjects.
New Zealand Scholarship assesses students on their ability to demonstrate high-level critical thinking, abstraction and generalisation.
Tauranga Boys College senior school deputy principal Rob Gilbert said gaining New Zealand scholarship was the pinnacle of high school qualifications.
