Perfect score at Kristin School

Lewis Fry

Kristin School’s head boy, Lewis Fry, has received a perfect score in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

Lewis gained the maximum possible total of 45 points in his IB Diploma, which is an exceptional result both nationally and internationally, and a feat that is only achieved by 0.2 per cent of IB students globally.

Lewis studied courses in Economics, English literature, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Spanish and Theory of Knowledge achieving the maximum possible grade in each of the subjects.

His transcripts of achievements throughout his years at Kristin illustrate an almost perfect record since day one. Somewhat disappointed, Lewis points out that “I did get one B in Year 8, for PE.”

A couple of weeks ago, Lewis was interviewed for a prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship at Melbourne University and is awaiting the outcome. He has already been awarded a scholarship at the University of Auckland and applied for scholarships at Cambridge University, UK. It is certain that Lewis will have some important and exciting decisions to make in regards to his tertiary education.

Classmates Cathy Zhang and Michael Shafer also achieved outstanding success in gaining the second highest Diploma score of 44 points.

In total, 16 Kristin students scored 40 or more points, placing them in the top five per cent of IB students worldwide. Kristin School offers both NCEA and IB to its senior students – currently approximately 60 per cent of them opt to study IB.
