This student has performed at a high level in a variety of sports during his time at Hebron. He has been a good house captain and has contributed well during most Blue v Gold sports. He has demonstrated a great level of fitness and determination in cross country and running. Last year he smashed the school cross country record and this year he retained his title despite an injury. He has been a powerful and determined centre in the basket ball team and he has been totally dedicated to his football team. His superb skills on the playing field were admired and feared by opposition teams in the Inter School tournaments. His growth and maturity as a sportsman in the past two years resulted in inspirational leadership of the Hebron team, leading by example at all times - directing, encouraging and exhorting all team members to give their best and resulting in an unprecedented consecutive Interschool U. 19 football victory.

Elizabeth K.
This student has served the school community whole-heartedly and has gone beyond the call of duty in many areas. She has been a reliable prefect who has carried out her school responsibilities in a conscientious and dependable fashion. As Student Council co-secretary she has helped with communication between students, and between students and staff. Working with her co-secretary they have produced meeting minutes which are a work of art! In addition she has taken on whatever other responsibilities she has been asked to do diligently and thoroughly, even when she felt out of her depth. She has also been helping in Junior School with Star Class and their teacher has been so impressed by her faithful and enthusiastic input. She has been an encouraging and helpful member of the running group. For the past two years she has been a committed and conscientious member of the Youth Fellowship committee. She is willing to serve behind the scenes but has also taken opportunities to speak from the front, which has been a blessing to others. She has great initiative and is someone who will notice all the little jobs that need to be done, and gets on and does them without any fuss or need for recognition.

This student is a selfless individual who always gets involved in areas of need that he sees and contributes hugely in terms of time, hard work and abilities. He always goes beyond the call of duty in the many areas of school life where he has served - as a prefect, as a member of the prayer breakfast committee, as trombonist in the concert band, as the SC canteen manager and in the area of sound and light. This young man has given hours of his time to setting up equipment for dramas, school musicals and school events. His commitment to excellence has been greatly appreciated. It is difficult to find such a young man who takes to service so naturally and enthusiastically, yet self-effacingly. He neither looks for, nor expects any reward or even recognition.
