You are invited to nominate a past student or staff member to receive the Shining Light Award, to recognise their significant contribution in their chosen field so that they can be an inspiration for our current and future students.
As we grow older, settle into our lives and careers it is easy to forget the challenges we faced when we were at school regarding our future and what we wanted to do. During the teenage years, young people have to make many decisions, some as simple as what they want for lunch, but many as challenging as what subjects to study for the future job, career or paycheck that they want. But even before they make that decision they have to have decided what they want to "do" or "be".
The Shining Light Award for Inspiring Alumni is designed to identify the members of our community who will motivate students to achieve more than they thought possible. To inspire and energize them to greater heights. To be an example that they can relate to because the nominated alumni are from the same school as them. By showing them how much the nominee has achieved, students will be encouraged to do more.
So, if you know a past student or staff member who you find inspirational. Who you think of and go "wow". Who, when you look at all they have accomplished you ask yourself "how"? Then they are probably someone our students should know about. It's an opportunity for you to acknowledge them, and to help our students soar.
Please nominate and provide inspiration to our students.
