Bill English's daughter tops international English exam

Tena Koe Maria. Congratulations excelent, I think you are an inspiration as no money or the fact that your dad is an MP got you the results. Only your hard work. Your parents and whanau along with your school have every right to be proud. You go girl.

Congratulations Maria,We had a y13 japanese student stay with us for a year,last year,Received Email from her Saturday, She wrote! Today I did presentation for new students who will join my course which is English,I spoke about New Zealand school life,and host family,and I got top in my school for mid year exam in English.This young lady also got tops in many of her subjects while in NZ.Just shows that there are students who are so adapt too study and moving ahead in life.Next month she sits for her university entrance exams.

Amazing what money can do isnt it!

What chance have the general population have of these achievements without MONEY!

As a half samoan I am very proud of the fact that this woman who has taken on the world intellectually happens to be a quarter samoan. She's not just Bill English's daughter. You have done both your New Zealand but especially your Samoan Heritage proud. You are an inspiraton to all Samoans.

great result just a pity that there are some small minded lefties who always feel the need to criticize.

The point is... Pick a Cambridge school.

Well done on the acheivement, but I do find it interesting that there is no mention of NZ qualifications.
Is NCEA level 3 and Scholarship not good enough for Bill English's daughter? What message is this sending to those who can't afford to sit the Cambridge Exams? NCEA is fine for the "common" people, but the haves do Cambridge!

Well done! Made NZ proud.

She was also the dux of her 'top school' and is very good at maths/physics/chemistry, as well as being head girl, as well as holding down hundreds of excellence credits in NCEA, being the captain of the world champion New Zealand schools debating team, being in the NewZealand secondary schools choir, continuing opera and piano, and also has won around 15000 dollars worth of academic competitions with trips overseas and money for herself, her schools, and her charities. It is a major major story, she is THE best student her age in the world in this subject.

Maria. Can you do the budget for your dad? (LOL). In all truth, Well done!!!
