Pukekohe team place second The 2012 reigning champions, Pukekohe High School, came close to defending their title at the annual NZIC Analytical Chemistry Competition last week. The talented Year 13 team of Jemma Simmons, Tim Rasen, Alan Blakemore and Olivia Pointon came second in the competition, narrowly missing out on first place which was won by a team from Hamilton Boys’ High School. The University of Waikato event challenged 88 enthusiastic Year 13 students to spend a day in the University’s laboratories. Third place went to Mount Maunganui College, fourth place to Aquinas College and
fifth place to Otumoetai College. Twenty-two teams of four students from the Waikato/Bay of Plenty regions
entered in this year’s competition. The Pukekohe High team received $160 from sponsor Hill Laboratories.
