Mentoring

The Adastra Foundation initiated its Mentoring Programme in October 2008. The programme is to support and encourage our scholarship recipients to manage their own learning in order that they may maximise their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be. The Adastra Foundation realises that it is an effective way of helping people to progress in their careers.

Fantastic Louie. Following in the steps of greatness!Congratulations to Yr 13 student Louie Endres who won the Sir John Walker Trophy at the WAIBOP Secondary Schools Championships when he took out the Senior Boys 1500m.

The Sir John Walker Trophy has been awarded since 1977 and has never been won by a Hillcrest athlete in that time. The spikes in the trophy are the actual pair Sir John Walker used when he broke the World Mile record.

Well done also to Annie Downing who won the Junior girls 1500m and 3000m races, Taylor Murdoch who was 3rd in Junior Girls 200m and 4th in the 100m and High Jump and Sahil Phour who was 2nd in the 2000m Steeplechase.
