Ashan Barr

Hi, my name is Ashan Barr, and I attended Hamilton Boys High School as a boarder from 2018 to 2022. Throughout my time at school, I studied the NCEA, Cambridge IGCSE and AS levels. During this time, I was awarded academic honours in years 12 and 13, for achieving NCEA level 1 and 2 endorsed with excellence. .

As a student at the University of Canterbury, I study Forest Engineering and have thus far received two scholarships over my studies. Outside of academia, I enjoy volunteering in different ways, as well as getting outdoors, playing sports and enjoying the natural world, ensuring that I can thrive in school by living a balanced life.

I have had several years of experience as a tutor, whether at the HBHS boarding house, as well as refugee and behavioural mentoring across the school. This range of experience has helped me adapt tutoring styles to each situation and do my best to foster real growth.
