DUX ARTIUM 2018 - Female
Once in a decade a student of this calibre comes along. Lily Claypole consistently strives for her own personal excellence and achieves consistently at an excellence level. She has art coursing through her veins! Her work will have a lasting influence and impact on the school. This is one student to look out for in the future.
The Whanganui District Council Youth Committee student recognition award went to Lily Claypole. She entered in the NZ 2018 Wallace Secondary Schools Art Award and was placed in the top 30 nationally!
DUX ARTIUM 2018 - Male
Ethan Mancer follows a band of talented brothers but this year was his time to shine. He is at the top of his game in NZ, principle euphonium seot in the NZSS Brass Band as well as gaining a place in the NZ Youth Brass Band (under 24 yrs). We commend Ethan for his time, dedication and humble attitude.
