We are delighted to announce that School Captain and Year 12 student Zali Van Der Veer is The Forest High School's recipient of the 2018 Caltex Best All Rounder Award, one of Australia's most prestigious secondary school prizes.
Zali joins a select group of secondary students around Australia who have received a Caltex Best All Rounder Award for excellence in their studies, on the sports field and for their work in the community.
The award was presented to Zali at the Year 12 Graduation for her very high academic achievement and for her participation in numerous school events and initiatives including the school musical, The Forest Festival of Lights, Open Night and various charities.
"The award recognises Zali's contribution across several disciplines - she has been a wonderful asset to our school and the wider community, setting a terrific example for others to follow" Ms Rosemary McDowall, Principal said.
Caltex Australia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Julian Segal, said the Australian fuel and convenience company was proud to have recognised generations of students like Zali since the awards began in 1985. "I congratulate Zali and wish her well as she moves into the next phase of her life" Mr Segal said.
Zali joins an exclusive list of Caltex Best All Rounders to have been recognised over the past three decades. The Caltex Best All Rounder Award has been presented to thousands of final-year students around the country across its 33-year history.
