It may surprise you to read that our wonderful school captain, Sahil Shekhar reads my humble blog. The first comment he made to me about it was “why am I not on it?” so here’s an ego booster; an entire post.

Sahil attended the Newlands precinct where it quickly became clear that he had leadership potential. He excelled in academics, as well as extra-curricular activities. The Head of Newlands describes him as an excellent student and a credit to the Newlands precinct. When he arrived at the Senior School it quickly became clear that he would one day (in 2007) be School Captain. Sahil is a member of the Touch team (this is the only negative thing I can say about him), and is a kind and conscientious student who is always willing to volunteer his time and integrity to help others out. Overall a top bloke, who’s only weakness is he cares too much. If you ever seem around the school, say hi, or buy him a drink. If you see him out on the town buy him a drink, hell who knows he may even shout you a round!

Sahil, I salute you.
