Fourways Review mistook the seven subjects which Harry Joannou, Rodger Wyllie and Tamzyn Rubbers passed as having delivered all of them with distinctions. We apologise for the mix-up.
Harry Joannou – six distinctions
Harry was a white blazer recipient at the college. Besides excellent academics, he is the proud recipient of South African colours for Scouts.
