Almost 400 hours of volunteering
leads to Gallantry Award
• By Dylan Walker
NEARLY 400 hours of
community service and
volunteering has resulted in
one of Christchurch Boys’ High
School’s highest awards at its
recent senior student prizegiving.
Michael Walker received the
Jake Bailey Gallantry Award. The
award was created by previous
CBHS graduate, public speaker
and author Jake Bailey for overcoming
adversity. Michael was
noted for his involvement in
drama and for having the most
time spent in community service
and volunteering, with 399 hours.
He is reportedly going to Ara to
become a chef.
Other key award winners include
the 2022 Dux, Liam Bately.
Liam also received the Deans
Scholar, which is awarded to
the student “who in the highest
degree exhibits the qualities of intellect,
athletic ability, leadership
and character”. Bately is going
on to study engineering. The dux
runner-up, Proxime Accessit, was
awarded to Jackson Fontaine.
The Old Boys’ Medal and
George Sanders Award for Service
was awarded to Asher Pettengell-
Brand, and the Old Boys’ Centennial
Trophy was awarded to Tom
Gibson.

Headmaster Nic Hill said the
highlights of the event included
“thanking the students for their
positive contribution, especially
during the last three years of
Covid-19 disruption” as well as
recognising the efforts of staff.
