Georgian Molloy Anglican School student Amy Kerr named WA’s “Best All-Rounder” in inaugural award

A highly-successful Busselton high school student has finished off the school year on a high, after being awarded a prestigious Statewide accolade to add to her collection.

Georgiana Molloy Anglican School student Amy Kerr has been named the recipient of the inaugural Ampol Best All Rounder Award for Western Australia.

Usually a national honour, this year a prize has been awarded to an accomplished student in each State across the country, recognising the students’ outstanding achievements throughout the year.

The Year 11 student is not only academically successful, but a sporting and performing arts superstar as well.

Amy served as a student leader in 2017, 2020 and 2023, in 2021 took part in the Fogarty Futures Leadership Camp and this year was named a Lions Club Youth of the Year finalist.

A successful swimmer, Amy placed fifth in the 2021 Australian excellence awards for swimming and has represented WA at a national level.

The accomplished student is also part of the Associated and Catholic Colleges Letterman Club, while also volunteering as a swim coach in her spare time.

When she’s not in the pool, Amy is an acclaimed vocalist — performing at events including Telethon and the Anglican Schools Commission Select Choir, as well as several school events and productions.

Her talent doesn’t stop there, with the bright spark also playing several instruments.

As part of the esteemed accolade, Amy received a $2000 cash grant and a $1000 Ampol gift card, in addition to a $2000 grant for her school.

Georgiana Molloy Anglican School head of senior school Stephen Treloar said Amy was the “perfect example” of what the award represented and called it an “honour”.

“Her incredible swimming accomplishments combined with her exemplary community and school service is why Amy is a deserving recipient of the inaugural Western Australia Best All Rounder award,” he said.
