Jonathan Everett of Room 17 is one of WIS highest achieving students.

On the first two week holidays Jonathan was inspired into a creative writing contest run my Learning Media for the annual Elsie Locke writing competition. This came with the possibility that he could win four hundred dollars as prize money for first place.

Jono was selected as a finalist and got into the top twelve competitors for his story with Of a brave mountain climber.

Earlier in the year - Jonathan Everett has been chosen to be part of a group of the smartest kids of our age (and above) in New Zealand, because of his excellent results in a maths test that was taken by the top five children of our school.

Jono will just have to go through one more test of mathematics to show that he is of the elite in NZ and if he does he will be invited to Argentina. He will be given a free flight and accommodation there and who knows where he and WIS will go from there...
