Isaac Kim said it was an "honour and privilege" to be chosen as Rotorua Boys' High School dux.
The deputy head prefect has had a general interest in all sporting and team activities which included First XI soccer and a second dan black belt in tae kwon do.
Isaac enjoys singing and playing a range of instruments such as piano and guitar during his spare time.
Next year he plans to pursue a degree in engineering and commerce at the University of Auckland.
He is determined, despite the challenging workload next year, to make his goals and dreams come true.
