  • Years 10 and 11 exams
  • Future Leaders Award

The school year is disappearing rapidly. With Year 12s commencing their ATAR exams this week, the School has seemed particularly quiet – maybe it is just the absence of nearly two hundred boys from the campus.

The coming weeks see continued change to the structure of the School, with Year 10 boys commencing exams next Wednesday. Next Friday, they will focus their energies on the important Venture packing phase in preparation for their departure to the South coast on Tuesday 14 November. Year 11 boys are in the final days of their courses and break for a couple of study days next week, Wednesday and Thursday, before they commence their exams on Friday 10 November.

This morning we were privileged to have Old Boy Zac Vinten, President of the Old Boys’ Association, here to present Future Leaders Award. Zac is a graduate of 2011 and was Hill House Captain and School Prefect in his final year. He is a long service member of the North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club, through the Cadets program at Christ Church, and currently is a Private Client Adviser at Vantage Wealth Management in West Perth. Zac presented the award to Gareth Shanthikumar (’15) for his work in setting up the organisation Man Up WA. Gareth and his co-founder Haseeb Riaz are working with young men so that they can live authentically from the heart, embrace vulnerability, and hold one another accountable to stand up for what is right. Through their work with young men, they hope they will feel empowered to lift one another up and embody what it means to be a man in pursuit of a better, safer, and more inclusive world.
