Cameron Stevenson
Camerson Stevenson says College “was pretty special.” “I felt it prepared me for a lot of things by providing the opportunity to participate in them, whether that be sports or cultural. “My highlight of my time at College was being in a tight-knit class for five years, overcoming NCEA together.” Looking back, he says he appreciates the time and effort of the teachers who held extra classes for Scholarship students – “I’m really glad we had those.” “I had a natural tendency toward the science subjects, particularly Calculus and Physics, for their objectivity. I enjoyed Biology for the huge variety of interesting examples of life and how it demonstrated that complex things could be reduced to simple mechanisms.” Originally from Zimbabwe, Cameron has spent most of his life in Christchurch and is currently at the University of Canterbury studying computer science and mathematics. “I aim to graduate with a degree to go into software development with long term goals of working on computer science research in graphics or aerospace.”
