Nominations called for 2000 Old Boy Perelberg award

Ashley Perelberg (Class of '92) died tragically at the age of 18.

To commemorate his life, the Perelberg family have established an endowment to fund an award, to be presented annually, to a member of the Scotch Family who demonstrates the true Scotch spirit and who by his deeds, brings honour to the school, and service to the community.

Old Boys have the opportunity this year to nominate one of their members to win this prestigious award. Nominations are sought from, or of, Old Boys -

• who have made a significant contribution to their occupation or profession; or
• who have contributed significantly to the physical, moral, spiritual or actual welfare of their or another community; or
• who have significantly advanced the knowledge of mankind; or
• who have catalysed positive change in their community or mankind in general; or
• who have provided significant service to the school; or
• who have committed an act of bravery in the service of others and have thereby, or in some other manner, demonstrated the 'true Scotch spirit'.

The inaugural award to an Old Boy went to Hugh Taylor, in 1996 to Ian Stapleton, and 1998 to Rob Moodie.

The award is perpetuated by means of a significant work of art, in sterling sliver, displayed in the Lithgow Centre.

A replica of a portion, also in silver, will be presented to the winner at Speech Night on Thursday 19 October 2000.
