Henry Rolleston
Will Burns “The recipient has made an enormous contribution to the life of the school. William was head of the Arts and Cultural Committee. He was also Head of the Chapel Choir and a member of Schola Cantorum. His choral leadership was highly acclaimed and he has been an excellent role model for younger members of the choir. He has made an impressive impact in the arts in his time at College, in junior and senior productions, as well as in the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival. He also directed the most recent Christ’s College/St Margaret’s film called A Perfect Child and was a member of the successful College Theatresports team. His crowning achievement was the creation of the College Arts Week. He initiated this festival and, against the odds, brought it to fruition. The week was a huge success and enjoyed by all. He even managed to get celebrities all over New Zealand, including the Prime Minister, to wish us well for the event.” Somes Prize for Outstanding Overall Contribution to the Arts and General Scholarship “This recipient is passionate about drama and music and has devoted a huge amount of energy to the performing arts at College. Henry was the lead role in the senior productions of Dr Faustus and Our House . These very different roles were demanding and allowed Henry to showcase his considerable talent. He was the student leader on the Round Square performing arts trip to Malaysia and was the leader of the highly successful College Theatresports team. He was Deputy Head of the Chapel Choir and a member of Schola Cantorum. He has received Honours Ties for drama, choir and theatresports this year and has maintained a good academic record. Henry has been accepted into the prestigious The Actors’ Program, a one-year theatre intensive held in Auckland. Through all of this, Henry has gone beyond a display of talent by providing dedicated service to the arts at College.’’ Maling Memorial Prize for Outstanding Service to the School
