Exceptional academic achievement
Wesley College, Glen Waverley School Captain, Sam Leonard, has been awarded a prestigious Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship from Bond University. Recipients of this scholarship are elite students selected on the basis of exceptional academic achievement, proven leadership ability and personal character. They have been identified by their teachers and peers for their commitment to their communities and their willingness to help and inspire others. Only eight of the prestigious scholarships are awarded every year.
He was one of 25 students from all over Australia who made it through to the final selection process which comprised an on-campus assessment weekend, where he participated in a range of workshops, leadership activities and interviews.
Sam says being a School Captain in 2014 “has given him the opportunity to encourage and inspire other students to have a go and reach their potential.” He strives to exemplify the Wesley ethos of diversity of involvement, of being involved and involving others. This is something he will carry with him into the future.
Sam is looking forward to living on campus, and involving himself in student life by continuing to be involved with rowing, football and debating. He is planning on pursuing a double degree in Commerce and Law.
Wesley College congratulates Sam on an exceptional achievement.
