Rotorua students achieve scholarship success

Western Heights High School students Ashton McGarvie and Zach Jans achieved scholarship last year.
Despite a tough and unprecedented year in 2020, Rotorua students continued to excel in their academic ventures. More than 10,400 students entered New Zealand Scholarship examinations last year, 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.
John Paul College topped the list of Bay of Plenty recipients with students achieving 15 Scholarships and three Outstanding Scholarships.
Utah gave No. 5 Denver everything it had to open the 2021 college lacrosse season on Saturday.
After the Utes jumped out to a 3-1 halftime lead, the Pioneers roared back in the second half to come out on top. For a team tasked with replacing its injured starting goalie Zion Dechesere as well as two starting poles plus 80% of its offensive scoring from a season ago, Utah never gave up.
When Ethan Walker found JJ Sillstrop for a behind-the-back dagger to make it 9-6, the Utes kept fighting. Unsurprised by the way his team competed and never gave up against a team with loftier expectations of getting to Championship Weekend, head coach Brian Holman spoke to IL about his biggest takeaway moving forward.

In what was No. 5 Denver’s first competitive action in over 10 months, Pioneer coach Bill Tierney said postgame that though he expected there to be an immense enjoyment of the experience his team had ripped away from them last March, all was normal once some early mistakes were made.
“It didn’t take long to be frustrated,” Tierney said. “It didn’t take long to get back to being another lacrosse game that you hope like hell to win, and we were lucky to do so.”
The usual sluggish start that have been a staple of early February college lacrosse in recent years was exacerbated not only by the long layoff, but also by a valiant underdog effort from the Utes in the Pioneers’ 9-8 victory on Saturday afternoon in Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium.
