College – Issue 32

Angus Dysart-Paul

Executive Principal’s Prize for Service

“The third recipient was a Head of House, a Chapel Prefect and Head of the Students Against Dangerous Driving Committee. Angus managed all of these roles with great dedication and skill. He was particularly effective in his Chapel Prefect role and was also a College student representative on the Anglican Synod. He organised community service support for the Christchurch City Mission, as well as for the RSA. He supported the Boarding Committee, the Environment Committee and attended the Environmental Leadership forum for school students. He managed all of this while being heavily involved in the choir, drama productions, debating and Model United Nations. In these activities, he mentored junior students and acted as an outstanding role model. All this, and more, was undertaken with selfless humility and dedication to College’s values.”

Ngane Punivai

Executive Principal’s Prize for Service

“The final recipient is the Deputy Head Prefect. Ngane managed his Deputy portfolio with great skill, supporting the Head Prefect loyally and acting as an outstanding leadership role model to the prefects and other boys in the school. He was chair of the Ball Committee this year and captain of the 1st XV. He provided superb service to the school in both roles. The captaincy provided him with an opportunity to lead a resurgent 1st XV with great mana and humility, while serving as an inspiration on the field. Through all of this, he continued to make an outstanding contribution to Corfe House and to act as an ambassador for the school on public and promotional occasions. He has upheld the values of the school and set a very high standard of service and leadership, to which other students can aspire.”

Rowan Taylor

HM Chrystall Prize for All-round Merit in Sport and Scholarship

“The recipient of this award exemplifies the holistic education that College offers and the opportunities this school provides to excel in more than one sphere.

This team won the Christchurch Schools’ Premier League competition and came 10th at the Rankin Cup. He was awarded the best senior hockey player of the year for College. He has attained scholastic success, having received a Gold Badge twice. He has also been involved in the choir as well as drama productions, to provide balance to his sport and academia. Rowan has been awarded the Otago University Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship for Academic Excellence as well as a leadership scholarship.”
