Albam Exorna Award
SIXTH FORM
Albam Exorna Award
This award comes as a gift from the alumni body ‘The Dunstonian Association’. The judges were Alex Brewer, as Head of Sixth Form alongside two alumni of the College, last year’s winner Denise Spigler (leaver 2021) and Tom Coling (leaver 2001). There is a winner’s prize of £1000 and a runner up prize of £250. Year 13 were invited to apply earlier this year making their case for why they have best ‘adorned the white’ during their time at St Dunstan’s. We were looking for individual stories that reflected a true depth of reflection on their experiences during their time at St Dunstan’s. This of course made judging difficult because each entry brought a wealth of different experiences, each heartfelt in their own unique way. However, the judges did reach a decision. The runner up prize, given for the quality of their reflection on their experience, and the commitment made to the number of things they packed into their time at the school, went to Isabelle Humphreys. The winning entry went to a student who has been with the College for a very long time, and who has every year consistently adorned their own shield in multiple formal and informal ways, and who expertly expressed the strong bonds of relationship and friendship they formed along the way, allied to how they now intended to continue that journey in later life. The judges were unanimous in giving the £1000 award to Faye Baptiste.
