Congratulations Caylyn Dumpert
Congratulations to Year 12, 2018 Caylyn Dumpert who was awarded with the highly esteemed prestigious ICMS Professional Scholarship. A letter of congratulations was forwarded to Henry Kendall High School outlining the scholarship process. 'These young aspirants really are outstanding. To invest the effort in submitting the application, then manage the experience of two panel interviews in a new and possibly awe-inspiring context is impressive. They have ventured out of their comfort zones and grown in themselves as a result.'

Mock Trial
On Thursday 2 May the Mock Trial team competed against Gosford High School at Central Coast Leagues Club. The case was a criminal common assault charge and we were the Prosecution. The plaintiff had been a part of a protest rally and was thumped in the chest and yelled at by the parent of a fellow protester. It was a very close competition, with both sides arguing well. Unfortunately Gosford won by only 8 points. Oliver Worrad and Tom Whelan were our barristers and Shireen Khoshnoud-Rad was the Solicitor. Adrian Crnalic again did an excellent job as a witness along with Ainslee Fernandes. Our thanks goes to Isabella Dowe for being the Magistrates Clerk. The team are busy preparing for the next trial against St Edwards and are keen to win the next round.
