Heritage Foundation C J Tunks Memorial Award for General Excellence
The Award is to be given to the pupil who in her last year in the Junior High School at Diocesan School for Girls, through her commitment of energy, time and enthusiasm, has made the most outstanding contribution to the wellbeing of the School and /or its pupils. This year the Award goes to Emma Parton
Emma has had an incredibly successful year and she exhibits all of the qualities for which this award is presented. The contributions she has made to enrich this community are many and varied, with active involvement and leadership across the areas of the Arts, sports and service. Emma’s contributions place her at the front of the stage as a performer, in choirs, the aria competition or her rock band Kamokaze or serving others as a School guide, in Chapel and in the junior school after care programme. But it is for the qualities she demonstrates as a leader and as a member of this community that we honour her for today. Emma is modest about her abilities, she is an excellent role model to others in the way she actively seeks opportunities to be outside her comfort zone, placing a real importance on mastering new skills. Emma works hard for her successes and enjoys the collaborative environment, whether as part of Caberet or a choir, or her netball team, or working in class on group activities. Her tutor describes her as a “caring soul whose optimism and generous spirit are defining characteristics.” Emma is totally committed to wider life of Diocesan and she truly embraces the attributes of servant leadership. For her contribution to the Diocesan Junior High School, we recognise Emma Parton as the 2019 recipient of the C J Tunks Memorial Award.

Junior High School Dux

Awarded to the student who has the highest overall academic achievement.

This year’s Dux award goes to Lucy Russ

This year, Lucy has achieved what can only be described as outstanding results, achieving at the highest level with all of the necessary dedication, aptitude and curiosity to do so. She has received Academic Honours today, with excellence certificates in English, French, Health & Physical Education, Latin, Mathematics, Material Design Technology, Science, Social Studies, and Visual Arts! It would be easy to assume that these results come naturally to Lucy, but her teachers are hugely complimentary of her personal motivation, her willingness to try new approaches, and her real enjoyment of learning. These attributes are as impressive as the results for which that we congratulate her today. Alongside these academic achievements, Lucy’s contribution towards the wider life of the school reflects her willingness to give, and indeed to learn, in so many areas. She participates in Debating, the Ethics Olympiad, Future Problem Solving, as well as being a part of the Shakespeare Festival, Netball, Sailing, Distance Running and Orienteering. Her exceptional results, alongside her other interests, reflect her love of academic challenge and her commitment to achieving her personal best with every aspect of her learning. Today we are delighted to acknowledge Lucy’s academic achievements as our Junior High School Dux for 2019.
