RUI XING
When Rui entered the doors of Ballarat Grammar, she did so with such a positive mindset and desire to learn. While at the School, her work ethic was impressive, and her inclusive and friendly personality make her such a valued member of our boarding community. Rui role-models dedication and commitment and strives to achieve her best no matter what the task.
When she arrived in Year 10, Rui stepped completely outside of her comfort zone, attending adventure camps, participating in all House activities and trying sports to which she had never previously been exposed. She continued to live this healthy and balanced lifestyle for the duration of her boarding life in Hayhoe and was admired by all. She has given selflessly to our community, but also more broadly, offering her valuable time to provide service to organisations and people less fortunate, including an international service trip to East Timor in 2019.
At the School’s Presentation Night in her final year, Rui was the recipient of three prestigious awards. Academic Excellence for outstanding achievement in her Year 12 studies. Outstanding Representation of the School in recognition of her significant contributions to the School and The Dorothy Irene Ellis-Thomas Scholarship having shown an overall endeavour to pursue excellence in all areas of school life. Rui was also awarded the Beckworth Trust Award, a prestigious award presented to a Year 12 individual for providing ‘life to the house’. Rui was a caring, spirited and an exemplary leader throughout her time in her boarding house.
