Dux of the school for 2011
This is the most prestigious award in any school as it goes to the top scholar. This award at Takapuna Grammar School is highly sought after and highly competitive. To be Dux at Takapuna Grammar School is to join a very select and elite group, the highest achievers in New Zealand.
Congratulations to Joshua Dawes, Takapuna Grammar School Dux and top scholar for 2011.
Joshua has had exceptional academic success in this, his final year at Takapuna Grammar School. He was ranked in his subjects as follows;
Mathematics with Statistics 1st
Mathematics with Calculus 1st
History 1st
Chemistry 3rd
Physics 7th
In Joshua’s reports his teachers have described him as follows:
“He is a pleasant and conscientious student who strives to give his best. He attempts all given tasks to a high standard and has an obvious aptitude for this subject.”
“He is an intelligent, positive student and a capable mathematician. He is developing into a fine scholar”.
“He is an extremely capable student who thinks deeply about what he is doing. Already he displays quite profound insights into statistical matters, which require a different perspective to other branches of Mathematics.”
Joshua has also had a considerable involvement in the co-curricular area of the school. He is a keen member of the Takapuna Grammar School Rock Climbing team and was last year in the Senior A Basketball team. He is a School Librarian and has supported other students through tutoring. He has taken on a mentoring role for an autistic girl outside school. He has a keen sense of service and social justice.
The perfect Xmas gift!
