St George's Superstars

Ella Moffat, Year 11

On the last day of Term 3, Ella was recognised at the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award Ceremony for completing the Gold level of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.

Gold is the highest level of the Award and requires students to show long-term commitment across a range of areas, including Voluntary Service, Physical Recreation, Skills, an Adventurous Journey and a Residential Project. Ella demonstrated outstanding dedication throughout the program, particularly through her volunteering and service to the community. As part of her Gold Award, she participated in activities including walking for cancer, coaching basketball teams and assisting at school events. She also took part in the AngliSchools Samoa trip last year.

Her involvement helped develop her leadership, teamwork and communication skills while demonstrating a genuine commitment to giving back. Having participated in Duke of Ed since Year 9, Ella has now completed all three Award levels, a remarkable achievement.

Ms Yoxall and Mrs Campbell attended the ceremony and were delighted to celebrate Ella’s success.

Mrs Sharan Tagore and Ms Deidre Bourke

Two of our dedicated staff members took on the annual Perth Marathon earlier this month, crossing the finish line at Optus Stadium after outstanding performances.

For Mrs Tagore, it was her seventh marathon, and she achieved an impressive personal best time of 3:38:10. An incredible accomplishment and a testament to her commitment and determination.

Ms Bourke also had plenty to celebrate, completing her first half marathon and recording a personal best time of 1:49:10.

Congratulations to both Mrs Tagore and Ms Bourke on their remarkable achievements. We are so proud of their dedication and perseverance both in and out of the classroom.
