HOLY CROSS STUDENT WINS SIMPSON MEDAL WINNER

It is with great pleasure I can now announce the wonderful news that Bianca Sumich is the WA winner of the Simpson Prize.   The winners were presented at Parliament House in Canberra this morning.   The Simpson Prize is a national competition  for Year 9 and 10 students and encourages participants to focus on the significance of ANZAC day.  Entrants had to write a History essay on a given topic related to Australia's involvement in World War I.  Bianca is now in Year 10, but wrote the essay as a Year 9 student.  Bianca will travel to Gallipoli with the other state winners of the Simpson Prize.  This will be a particularly special experience given this year is the 100th anniversary of the Australian landing at Gallipoli.  Congratulations to Bianca on this fantastic achievement. Thanks to Miss Emilie Reynolds for her encouragement and support of Bianca in entering the Simpson Prize competition.
