Rhodes Scholar 2024
As you may be aware from the school’s Facebook post, Warwick’s former 2018 School Captain, Caleb McKenna, has been awarded the 2024 Rhodes Scholarship to attend Oxford University (UK) and to continue his studies.
This is the most prestigious academic scholarship awarded to a WA university student each year and is very keenly contested by students from all WA universities.
Caleb is a remarkable young man, with a very strong desire to succeed and to ‘give back’ to society. He was educated at Wanneroo Primary School and then Warwick Senior High school. I am aware that Caleb gave up a place in the Gifted and Talented program at Perth Modern School to attend Warwick and join the Specialist Australian Rules Football program. He excelled academically and on the sorting field and was the ATAR Dux of his year.
Warwick SHS is exceedingly proud of Caleb’s achievements, and we wish him every success in the future.
And we are also very proud of our part in assisting Caleb to attain this amazing result!!
