Old Boy Don Trow (1950-54) gave a presentation to Year 13 Accounting students from PNBHS and PNGHS in the Speirs Centre on Friday. The presentation looked at assessing companies on the NZ stock market, specifically looking at Restaurant Brands Ltd and Sanford Ltd to assist students with their current internal assessment.

Don Trow was one of the initial inductees into the PNBHS Business Alumni in 2012, and has presented on the topic every year since, after a discussion that night at the ceremony.

Don Trow was Head Boy of PNBHS in 1954 and was a member of both the 1st XV rugby and 1st XI cricket sides at the school. Mr Trow worked with professional accounting firms in Wellington, London and New York for ten years then joined Victoria University, being Professor of Accountancy from 1971-2006.

Among other roles during his time at the University, he served for more than ten years on the boards of The NZ Stock Exchange, Ryman Healthcare Ltd, and the NZ Society of Accountants, and as chairman of the Advisory Committee to the statutory managers of the Equiticorp group.
