"At the very heart of the community is Tawa College, standing proudly on the hill above Duncan Street, still the local secondary school where almost everybody goes and which has built up such a fine history over more than forty years ..." - extract from "Doing Justly - Tawa College, the First Forty Years" by Ken Edgecombe.

Anyway we know that Tawa College has a great reputation and many fine students - in that vein, see pic_week_2008-44.html. Leading this year's 1430+ students are the fine specimens featured above, from left, Daniel Kleinsman (head boy), Johan Gouws (deputy head boy), Josie Conijn (head girl) and Kerry Hadaway (deputy head girl).
