Principal Jeremy Stowe-Lindner said ‘As the leading year level in the school, the Class of 2020’s menschlichkeit (individual and collective decency), community activism, mutual support, charitable activities and leadership are an inspiration to all of us.
In a unique year our Year 12s have shown resilience, working consistently on campus and at home, supporting each and their community. The Bialik community is one of plurality and inclusion and we congratulate every single one of our students today. The spectacular achievement of the Class of 2020 is a testament to the hard work of the students, dedication of their teachers and support and nurturing of their families.’
Dux Zac Weller told J-Wire: “At the moment I’m pretty certain I’d like to pursue medicine.”
