Having just attended a graduation ceremony at Waikato University, I wondered how many early graduates of
Thames High School there had been? a trip to view the
Honours Board is definitely required!
There are a few names in the Thames Newspapers, but it is not always easy to identify the Thames ex-students; as results were given by province. Below is the report for Mr
K M BARRANCE of Waihi achieving his BA.

| Thames Star 12 Jan 1901 |
Under a different system to that of today,
Mr G Newell Phillips, the Headmaster of Waiokaraka School in 1880 obtained part of his BA degree.
In 1882
Miss F HASELDEN of
Kauaeranga Girls was sitting her exams for a BA Degree at Auckland. Miss Haselden, was a long serving headmistress at the Kauaeranga Girls/Sandes Street School in Thames.
Names of New Zealand University Graduates 1870-1961 are available at the
