Achieving the Bronze Level of The President’s Award involves four sections: at least 24 hours of community service; learning a new skill; taking part in physical recreation (sport) and 4 days of hiking and camping. Our very own Xavier de Robillard in Grade 10 has done us proud with his outstanding achievement, not only did he achieve his Bronze Level, but he went above and beyond the required criteria. Xavier served a total of 100 hours of community service at the Upper Highway Baby Home for Abandoned Babies, as well as an additional 8 hours at the Ngani Yami Children’s Home tutoring grade 9 mathematics.

He took up cross-country running as his physical recreation and for the skills component, Xavier learnt how to play the piano, achieving a Gold A for Level 3 Mini Recital Pianoforte at the Interstudio Music Festival. Xavier has now signed up for the Silver Level and will use the Grade 10 Vasbyt Excursion for the Adventurous Journey section of the award. Well done Xavier and he was presented with his Bronze Award at today’s Assembly.
