The Year 12 Dean at Otahuhu College recommended Aaron without
reservation for a First Foundation scholarship his reasons being
that Aaron is 'a responsible, diligent, well organised, motivated
and meticulous student who brings his own personality and strong
presence to whatever he is involved in.' In 2009 Aaron was
appointed Deputy Head Boy.
Not only did Aaron handle the requirements of NCEA with
competence, but he balanced then with sporting, cultural activities
and extra-curricular activities such as the Outward Bound programme
which he described as being 'a life changing event'.
With a keen interest in Structural Engineering, Aaron is
studying towards a Bachelor of Engineering at The University of
Auckland. He hopes that his drive to succeed at University will be
an inspiration to his community in South Auckland.
