Opinion
Through your column I would like to emphasise what a great year this has been for Gisborne Boys’ High School, being awarded two Prime Minister’s Scholarships.
People I have spoken to were aware of these scholarships but not of their significance. They are regarded extremely highly in the education sector— for some, one of the highest if not the highest award a school can obtain. And GBHS gained two this year.
The carving department was recognised and awarded one of these scholarships. To Craig, a well deserved award for the consistently high standard of work achieved by your students. To the Gisborne public; the students’ work goes on display once a year at the school, where members of the public are invited to view it. This year was the best standard I have seen but I am no expert; the work just looked awesome. To those boys — well done, it was great to see you all so proud of your work.
To Greg and the staff, what a fantastic achievement to be awarded the Supreme Prime Minister’s Scholarship. This award is obviously a reflection of the hard work you all put in to educating your students. I look at the end product and cannot stop thinking what wonderful young men are now walking through the gates for the last time.
Congratulations GBHS for an absolutely outstanding year.
