Nossal graduate named one of the nation’s best

At our Speech Night, Nossal was able to announce Year 12 student Chance Logan as the school’s recipient of the 2018 Caltex Best All Rounder Award, one of Australia’s most prestigious secondary school prizes.

Chance joins a select group of secondary students around Australia who have received a Caltex Best All Rounder Award for excellence in their studies, on the sports field and for their work in the community.

Chance was presented the award for her general levels of achievement and study but especially recognised for her work in House activities and Music.  Chance was a driving force in Phoenix, in particular in the lead up to the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals and the House Performing Arts Competition.  She was an important member of a number of music groups and was a part of the touring party that attended Generations In Jazz in Mt. Gambier earlier in the year.  However Chance was just an dedicated to her studies and was regularly seen at Nossal during the Year 12 Swot Vac period, putting in many hours .  She has been a wonderful asset to our school and the wider community, setting a terrific example for others to follow.

Caltex Australia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Julian Segal, said the Australian fuel and convenience company was proud to have recognised generations of students like Chance since the awards began in 1985.

“I congratulate Chance and wish her well as she moves into the next phase of her life,” Mr Segal said.

“Chance Logan joins an exclusive list of Caltex Best All Rounders to have been recognised over the past three decades.”

The Caltex Best All Rounder Award has been presented to thousands of final-year students around the country across its 33-year history.

As a proud Australian business that’s been part of local communities for more than a century, Caltex seeks to acknowledge the all-round contribution that each student makes to their schools and communities, their leadership abilities and the good example they set for others.

Past winners include children’s show actor Emma Watkins (the current ‘Yellow Wiggle’) from The McDonald College in Sydney, and frisbee world-champion Adrian Gepp (PhD) from Faith Lutheran College in Tanunda, South Australia.
