Dear University of Auckland,

1) Can you please provide the LLB GPAs of the top graduating student each year in the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. These will be the recipients of the Auckland District Law Society Prize or the Law Association Prize. To protect the confidentiality of students, the provision of these GPAs do not need to be linked to a given year (e.g. if the 2020 highest GPA was 8, this needs merely to be identified as '8' rather than '2020: 8'). For my purposes, a 0.25 range of values (e.g. 8.0-8.25) would also be acceptable (but not preferred), in the same way as was provided in the previous request:

(I note, of course, that: "A decision to create statistics in response to an OIA request on one occasion does not require the University to create the same or similar statistics if they are requested subsequently." That is not my intention. I merely intend to provide an example of an acceptable format of the response.)

2) Can you please also provide the LLB GPAs of the student with the lowest GPA who received the Law Senior Scholar Prize each year in the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024?

3) Can you please also provide the LLB GPAs of the student with the lowest GPA who received the Dean's Academic Excellence Award each year in the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024?

In respect of these three requests, I have two clarifications. First, as these students have received awards, and the University holds GPA information on a per student basis, this information will be held by the University of Auckland. Second, I have constructed these requests so ensure that the University of Auckland will not be required to "create statistics", since all that is being requested is the GPA value or range of GPA values (without requiring a "mean" or "median" calculation).

Yours faithfully,

AC
