2021 leading scholars
Today, Thursday 17 March, Churchie welcomed the return of the class of 2021’s leading scholars at the School’s annual Academic Celebration Assembly.
Each leading scholar, from both the Queensland Certificate of Education and IB Diploma programme pathways, achieved an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) score of 98.00 or higher.
This year, the Dux of the School was awarded to two equally worthy recipients, who each scored an ATAR of 99.95—the highest result attainable—George Dance and Tim Groves. George and Tim were presented with The Tyrwhitt Memorial Cup, which was first awarded to the dux in 1927.
George also received The Dr Paul McCarthy Memorial Bursary, endowed by the McCarthy family in memory of their late son, Old Boy Dr Paul McCarthy, awarded to an outstanding student who will pursue a career in science and medicine.
Robbie Hynes was awarded the I M Williamson Bursary, endowed for an outstanding student who is seeking to study law.
Each scholar has set a fine example for our current students to follow, and we look forward to observing their future achievements.
