Congratulations to Alex Blackmore (year 7) who has won a Rotary Youth Award. Alex received his award from Mayor of Manly, Jean Hay, for academic excellence and as an active leader and mentor last year to his classmates, as well as the larger school community, at Balgowlah Heights Public School.
Nominated by his class teacher, Alex was introduced at the Awards Dinner as someone driven by the need to learn, but also modest and considerate. In addition to his achievements in Mathematics and English, the audience heard that he also loves art and ocean swimming.
