We are delighted to announce that Year 12 student Tara Mapstone is The Forest High School's recipient of the 2019 Caltex Best All Rounder Award, one of Australia's most prestigious secondary school prizes and Emma Beukers from Year 12 is the Caltex Award recipient from The Languages High School.
Tara and Emma join 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 awards will be presented to Tara and Emma at The Forest High School's Presentation Night on 10th December.
The Forest High School's Principal, Ms Rosemary McDowall, said Tara and Emma were worthy recipients of the nationally-recognised award.
"The award recognises Tara and Emma's contribution across several disciplines and they have both been a wonderful asset to our school and the wide community, setting a terrific example for others to follow" Ms McDowall said.
Caltex Australia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Julian Segal, said the Australian transport fuels and convenience company was proud to have recognised generations of students like Tara and Emma since the awards began in 1985.
"As a proud Australian company that has been part of local communities for more than a century, we are pleased to acknowledge the outstanding all-round contribution this year's winners have made to their schools and communities, along with their leadership abilities and the good example they set for others"
"I congratulate Tara and Emma and wish them well as they move into the next phase of their life" Mr Segal said.
The Caltex Best All Rounder Award has been presented to thousands of final-year students around the country across its 34-year history. Past winners include children's show actor Emma Watkins (the current 'Yellow Wiggle') from The McDonald College in Sydney, and frisbee world-champion Adrian Gepp (PhD) from Faith Lutheran College in Tanunda, South Australia.
