Kardinia International College’s 2022 school captain Jesse McDougall has won the inaugural Ampol Best All Rounder Award for Victoria.
Jesse, an accomplished violinist, pianist and triathlete and recipient of the Premier’s Study Award for French and Health and Physical Education, won a $2,000 cash grant and a $1,000 AmpolCash gift card, while Kardinia International College also received a $2,000 grant.
While the Best All Rounder Award program has been running for 37 years and has recognised over 30,000 young Australians in that time, this is the first year Ampol has awarded a Best All Rounder award to one student in each state.
Kardinia International College principal Catherine Lockhart said the school was very proud of Jesse’s achievements.
“Jesse is a prime example of someone who has been able to make the most of all the opportunities that have come his way and balance his studies with a myriad of other activities in which he has also been able to excel,” Mrs Lockhart said.
“We are so delighted that Jesse McDougall is the recipient of this very prestigious award.
“For many years, the Ampol Best All Rounder Award has been a highlight of our awards events, because it is an award that recognises the holistic development of students and not just academic pursuits.
“”I would like to thank Ampol for their generous support and recognition of students like Jesse. We are so proud that Jesse is the first student to be awarded the Victorian prize.”
Ampol Managing Director and CEO, Matt Halliday said the company was proud to celebrate the achievements of Australia’s emerging leaders in the classroom, on the sporting field, with arts and culture and across the community.
“Ampol is a proud Australian company and this program forms part of our commitment to supporting communities and recognising the best all-round achievements of our young leaders across the country,” Mr Halliday said.
“Everyone at Ampol wishes to congratulate our winners for this well-deserved recognition.”
