Richard Goodwin
Headmaster’s Prize for Service
“Richard Goodwin has created an enviable record of service to the school over the past five years. He has worked tirelessly learning the craft of backstage technical support for drama and music becoming one of the go to men for matters technical. He was a part of the technical team that stood behind the many outstanding College productions, including Jesus Christ Superstar , CATS and Dr Faustus . Over this past year, he has also been active in helping to pass this knowledge on to younger boys with similar interests. It is little wonder that he has been awarded the Stage Door Trophy for Service to Drama. He has also had a successful career as a College hockey player where, yet again, he has been actively engaged in coaching junior teams. He sat on the Humanitarian Committee which successfully raised a significant sum of money for its chosen charities.”
Connor Heap
Sportsman of the Year
“Connor has been a member of the Senior A tennis side in his five years at College. In that time, the team has won the last three Canterbury School team championships, two South Island titles and had two trips to Nationals. The team finished third at Nationals this year with Connor named MVP after being undefeated as number one in all singles matches and he was also undefeated in the South Island and Canterbury school champs. At Nationals, he conceded only six games in 10 sets of tennis. He has represented New Zealand on a number of occasions and had top national rankings and titles for under-14, under-16 and under-18. All this has seen him awarded a tennis scholarship at the University of California, Berkeley, starting next year. Outside of school tennis, he plays senior men’s tennis in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and played for his Auckland club side in the Premier Men’s final.’’
