We were proud to welcome recent Old Boy Mr. Finlay McRae to assembly this morning.  Mr. McRae attended PNBHS from 2013 – 2017 and fashioned a very strong academic record during this time, as well as making the 1st XI Football team and being named as a school Prefect in his final year. 

In 2016, as a Year 12 student, Mr. McRae achieved three New Zealand Scholarship passes.  In his final year he was first in Advanced Chemistry, first in Advanced History, first in Advanced Physics, first in Level Three German and first in Level Three Design and Visual Communication.  Mr. McRae was named the Dux Litterarum, the highest achieving student in academic work, at the 2017 Prizegiving.

In 2017 Mr. McRae gained five New Zealand Scholarship passes, including three at Outstanding level and was the Top Scholar -the highest achieving student in the country – in Physics.  These results saw him named as a Premier Award Winner, one of the top ten students nationally.
