Tauhara College 2026 Proxime Accessit Breiona Monteith and Dux Angela Schur
Tauhara College’s top students for 2026 are focused on different scholastic fields but have enjoyed their final year at school and a close working relationship with their teachers.
Dux Angela Schur is keen on the sciences.
“This year I took physics, chemistry, biology, stats, and then classical studies through Te Kura... to balance it out.”
By contrast proxime accessit Breiona Monteith is “very English-based,” she says.
English, history, stats and sports science filled her timetable this year as well as outdoor education.
A keen member of Kids Greening Taupō over the years, she says health is a relatively new thought.
“If you’d asked me at the start of the year, I would have said geology or ecology.”
Breiona is enrolled in Canterbury University.
“Law's the big one for me but… you have to do a double degree. So, I'm also doing journalism.
