The Young Haleians Committee is very proud to announce that Kyiah O'Donohue (2015-20) is the recipient of the Endeavour Award for 2022.
The Young Haleians' Endeavour Award provides a unique opportunity for a member of the Young Haleian community to be nominated (or self-nominate) for an award that provides financial support designed to enable them to pursue their future goals – no matter their field of pursuit.
Every Young Haleian has the opportunity to strive towards a goal with purpose, and the Young Haleians’ Award is designed to provide the support needed to do so. The criteria for the award are outlined as follows:
- To be awarded to a Young Haleian under the age of 30 who has established commitment towards and achieved (or is significantly advanced towards achieving) success in his chosen field of endeavour.
- He must be able to demonstrate noteworthy accomplishments within this field and have strategies in place to further progress towards a significant goal while reflecting the values of Hale School.
Among many strong applicants, Kyiah was the standout candidate who will be awarded $5,000 to further pursue his promising basketball career in the USA.Through the award, Kyiah will be supported to return to playing college-level basketball which was briefly paused due to travel restrictions and costs.
Kyiah's resilience to continue pursuing his passion, his determination to support his family and self-fundraise his path to returning to college basketball, and his ambitions for the future make him a wonderful representative of our Hale community. For current students, the boarding community, the Aboriginal community, his family, and recent graduates, Kyiah represents a strong role model who reflects many of the values that we aspire to embody at Hale.
