Golden Boots 2023

The annual Golden Boots Public speaking competition reached its climax on Thursday evening, 8 September. Throughout the preceding weeks, all Boarding Year 11 students participated in the lead-up to this final evening.  

Speeches had been delivered with a single nominee from each House speaking in front of the entire Boarding Community. We welcomed David Stratton (’76) and Jo Mazzocchi, as well as Tim (’08) and Julie King from the Riverina Old Boys. The first prize of a pair of R M Williams boots was certainly wonderful and greatly accepted by the eventual winner.  

But certainly, the prestige and recognition by his fellow members of School House was just as important. With the volume and celebration of winning a Grand Final, Joshua Tang raised the ’Golden Boots’ trophy to the rapturous applause of his peers. It was wonderful to see Joshua’s parents at the evening celebrating with their son.
