- **Event Name**: Old Boys Assembly - Nelson College
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 12:40 am
- **Event Description**: Old Boys are warmly invited to attend a special Old Boys–focused school assembly at Nelson College. 

The assembly will be held on Wednesday 11 March at 10.40am.

 At this assembly we will present the 2026 J G McKay Head Boy Award to Head Boy Max Stanton. The scholarship was first awarded in 1960 in memory of Mr J G McKay, who served as a Master at the College for nearly four decades from 1906 to 1944. During his time, he was First Assistant, Head of Languages and Social Studies, Housemaster of Rutherford House, coach of the 1st XV, Editor of The Nelsonian, and played a major role in the Cadet Corps. The award was established by Old Boys in recognition of his lifelong service and the strong impression he left on generations of students. It reflects the hope that future recipients will cultivate the qualities of integrity, industry and character that he exemplified. 

We will also take a moment to honour the memory of lifelong Old Boy and valued College supporter John Harwood QSM (1950-53), who was known for his loyalty to his 1953 1st XV team, his regular match reporting, and his generous support of College development and community organisations throughout his life. Old Boys will also have the opportunity to join in singing the College song and share in the connection between past and present members of our community. 

Please RSVP here so we can reserve a seat for you at the front of the hall.
