Inaugural Scholars' Tea
This year’s 2013/14 scholars were hailed as “role models” during a special celebration at the beginning of the academic year.
The group of 11 girls from both the Prep and Senior School were joined by their families for the first ever scholars’ tea.
Principal Frank Thompson praised the girls for having shown “courage” and “commitment” in applying for scholarships.
He said: “It’s not always easy to put yourself forward. To do so sometimes means risking failure. Your achievements show you have outstanding ability and are at the very top of your age group.
“My hope is that you will be role models for others. It’s not about showing you’re more able than the next person but showing the importance of commitment to your particular area. That will be seen in how hard you work, train and practise to achieve your goals.
“Most of all, I would urge you to be humble in everything you do. Take pleasure not only in your own achievements but also in the achievements of others. Always be the first to praise others when they do well.”
