Kristin School student scores in top 1% of International Baccalaureate

Sapeer Mayron Reporter from North Shore Times

“I didn’t really have a life.”

“I didn’t really have a life.”

That’s how 18-year-old Asher Goddard described his 2022, as he studied hard enough to attain his goal: earn 45 points in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme and get into the university of his dreams.

And he did it – Goddard got the 45 points, a perfect score, putting him in a very small club indeed: the top 1% of IB students all over the world.

He was one of 18,174 students who did the diploma, and the average score was 30.91 points.

Goddard, who has graduated from Kristin School in Albany, is taking his perfect score all the way to the University of Melbourne to study physics.

Goddard and his family came to Auckland five years ago from Crested Butte, Colorado, in time for him to begin school at Kristin.

I hope everyone is having a great New Year and are keeping safe during this Summer storm 🌧🌦
At least the gutter weeds will be enjoying the rain...
Seriously though, I've been monitoring them over the last couple of months, hoping that they would be dealt with in time for Christmas, but no such luck. 🌱🌱🌱🌱

On the North Shore, Ventia have the contract to kill weeds in the road corridor (gutters, roundabouts, traffic islands) using hot water or foam, but it doesn't seem to be getting done at all. This should be routinely done and not rely on the public complaining.
I haven't noticed the weeds like this in other parts of Auckland...
