The red blazer is awarded to pupils who excel in academics, sport, culture, art, service and leadership.
To receive a red blazer a student must have achieved a minimum of full colours in any three of the areas of excellence. Pupils who are awarded honours are genuine all-rounders at the highest level, rather than specialists in one particular field.
This year’s honours students were: Gina Calaz, Tristan Venter, Laura Bishop, Daniel Moreira, Jeremy Li Wan Po, Graeme Page, Sarah Lunt, Bevan Willoughby, Toluwanimi Oluwadiaro, Ashleigh Sparrow and Gregory Holding.
Tracey Blyth of Dainfern College expressed how proud the school was of their 11 red blazer recipients. She said, “The enthusiasm with which they approach life and their willingness to be of service to the college in all areas makes them the finest examples of the values we strive to uphold at our school.”
