The Scholar-Sportsman

High has been nurturing scholar-sportsmen since 1883. The implied strength of our culture is in its belief in mutual support and group perseverance in adversity. Our students participate because they want to. They know it is good for their personal balance in life and helpful to their team mates and important for the strength of the reputation of the school. Whether in sports, community service, music, chess, social justice, debating or public speaking, participation is our key cultural message.

Being a High Boy is more than just wearing the school crest, cramming Legal Studies assignments you forgot were due and attending afternoon training sessions. No, being a High boy is the way you conduct yourself; it is a lifestyle. Being a High boy means you enjoy a challenge; being a High boy means you strive to achieve; it means giving it all on the field and in the classroom. Being a High boy means embodying the school mantra 鈥渟cholar sportsmen.鈥� It means being an all-rounder. We are all fortunate to have the opportunities, resources and raw talent to carve out our own legacies at High.

I urge all my peers to cherish every moment of their school life, regardless of how annoying it may seem to be, as these moments are what shape our characters that stay with us after we graduate. I encourage all students to be proud of being part of the High culture that represents what it means to be a scholar-sportsman, and appreciate the blood, sweat and tears with those around us when putting in our all to follow our passions, where going to support the big sporting events is only the first step.

High has taught me to be confident, to be able to manage my time, to be organised and to able to lead, amongst many other skills. But it has also taught me another valuable lesson; to look for challenges and to take on as many opportunities as possible. The High culture is built around the idea of 鈥淪cholar Sportsman鈥�, and while we may not all be great at sports or academics, High provides a safe environment, both in the classroom and out on the field, to do our best and to become better.
