Senior School Report
December 4, 2020
by Director of the Senior School, Mr Hamish McCrum
Today we celebrated some of the efforts and achievements of our Year 10 and 11 students in Award Ceremonies. Congratulations particularly to Toby Clack – Year 10 Dux, Ben Mornane – Year 10 Proxime Accessit, Jack Sheehan Year 11 Dux and Hugh Ollerenshaw – Year 11 Proxime Accessit. The boys who appear frequently in the lists below tend to have excellent work habits and set up good behaviours so that they are making very good use of their time. They are often busy people. The good results come from thousands of small choices with regard to being attentive and getting homework tasks completed. The biggest choice students tend to make is whether or not to attempt to set up a homework routine and then attempt to stick to it. The 2018 Dux, Sam Williams said that setting up good habits (a homework routine) made things much easier, because if you rely on will power, that will let you down. I encourage all students to make this decision for 2021, to set up and make a homework routine work. More on this next year.
To the students who are finishing their time with us, we wish you well in your future endeavours. To all families, we wish you a safe and enjoyable Christmas and a better 2021.
Take care and kind regards,
Mr Hamish McCrum
