Pinder Boor Certificate of Excellence

Congratulations to all the students who achieved an Attribute Point Average (APA) of 4.50 or more and were awarded with a Pinder Boor Certificate of Excellence.

The Certificate of Excellence is named in honour of CBC Perth (our original school) student Alaric Pinder Boor, 1912 Head Prefect and Dux of the College. A recipient of a Rhodes Scholarship in 1913, Alaric was revered by staff and students alike and impressed all he met with his endeavour and dedication to excellence in all aspects of life. During his time at CBC Perth, Pinder Boor made the most of the opportunity to learn and make a difference to the full, claiming academic and sports’ honours in equal measure. 

Alaric Pinder Boor’s life was tragically cut short when he was killed in action during World War I when the plane he was flying was shot down over Egypt in the Battle of Beersheba. The legacy left by Pinder Boor is one of striving for personal excellence and always giving of ones best in all circumstance and in the face of all challenges and adversity.
