Senior Academic Prizegiving 2024
On Wednesday 30 October we celebrated and recognised our senior students that have showed a commitment to their learning and academic excellence at the 2024 Rosmini College Academic Prizegiving.
A number of university scholarships were also awarded, and guests were treated to musical performances by the Kapa Haka group, Rosmini Chamber Choir, Rosmini Orchestra, a piano solo by Chao Zhang, as well as inspiring speeches from our Senior Leaders and Head Boy Yilin Lin, who received a standing ovation from his fellow Year 13s.
In an extraordinary situation, the Dux of Rosmini College for 2024 could not be decided! A record eight students all meet the criteria and can not be separated at this stage, so the school will gather again after the results of final examinations and announce a Dux and Proxime Accessit. What a phenomenal achievement by these outstanding young men. It was wonderful to see their proud families join them on stage to be congratulated.
