Matthew Warne (Year 12 Stuart House)

Matthew has represented Scotch College in the First VIII rowing crew for two seasons. Despite the challenge of differentiating between the performance of individuals in a crew, he has proved himself to be one of the best rowers the Boat Shed has produced in recent years. Matthew has demonstrated excellence in his attitude towards training. He possesses all the physical and mental attributes required to achieve at an elite level coupled with a high degree of technical skill, strength, power and endurance. 

Matthew gained selection for the State Pathway VIII in 2019 and 2020 and was a top-four priority pick for the Pathway squad in Western Australia. He would have had the opportunity for selection through to the Australian Junior selection trials in 2020 had the competition gone ahead. 

Matthew possesses an exemplary attitude and consistently displays a high level of sportsmanship. He has been a positive role model for all members of the Boat Club.

Congratulations to Matthew for receiving Honours for Achievement in Rowing.

Jesse Coughlan (Year 12 Alexander House)

Jesse has been an outstanding member of the Scotch College swim team. Highlights from this time included breaking school records in both 2018 and 2019 and holding the PSA record in the Under 16 50m breaststroke and the Under 16 4 x 50m medley relay. Jesse attained first place in breaststroke every year of his involvement in the PSA competition, bar one. In 2020, he swam an outstanding breaststroke leg in the 4 x 50m medley relay, with a split time of 30.11 seconds, a faster time than the current school record of 30.31 seconds, putting the team in second place.

Beyond the PSA competition, Jesse placed in the top 0.5 percent of 50m breaststroke times and in the top four percent of 100m breaststroke times at a national age level. In 2020, he was the best swimmer in his age group in both 50 and 100m breaststroke in Western Australia. Jesse would have competed in a National Age Final had the event gone ahead, and has recently been selected for the 2020 Swimming WA Performance Pathway Programme.

In 2020 Jesse was voted Captain of Swimming in recognition of his exceptional leadership within the team. He not only led by example, but provided mentorship and coaching for his teammates at training sessions and swim meets, willingly sharing his technical knowledge of swimming with his peers.

Jesse is a worthy recipient of Honours for Achievement in Swimming.

Gianni Kain (Year 12 Brisbane House)

Gianni has been a fantastic contributor to the Scotch College Firsts Water Polo team for the past three seasons. In 2020, he earned the Coach's Award for his leadership and professionalism among the group and he leaves the competition a Dickinson Cup winner.

Gianni was a solid contributor in defence and was usually matched up on the opposition centre forward player. He scored numerous goals and undertook some fine assists. Gianni contributed significantly to Scotch College's achievement, in particular during close games, in which his ability to control the momentum of the game saw him as a catalyst for the team's success.

While maintaining his commitment to the College programme, Gianni played for the Dolphins Water Polo Club, with a highlight being his Captaincy of the 16 and Under Junior State League B Grade premiership team. In 2017, Gianni transferred to the UWA/City Beach Club to participate in their elite programme. He was a member of the gold medallist team at the 2018 Australian Youth Championships and was selected for the squad that toured Eastern Europe. Gianni completed the recent season in the UWA Rangers bronze medal winning team in the State Premier League.

Gianni is well deserving of the award of Honours for Water Polo.

Julian Kyriakou (Year 12 Stuart House)

Julian has represented Scotch College in the Firsts Water Polo team for three years and in 2020, he co-captained the Dickinson Cup winning team, consistently demonstrating strong leadership skills and his trademark humility.

Julian scored many sensational and well-timed goals. He strongly dictated both attack and defence, and effectively shut down talented opposition players, contributing greatly to the success of the team. Julian proved himself to be in possession of great resolve, overcoming a significant injury to continue to play through his final season in the PSA competition.

Beyond school, Julian is a five-time recipient of the UWA/City Beach Club Best and Fairest Award. He has won numerous medals in the WA State League and at the Australian National Championships. Julian has participated in numerous international training camps and, in 2018, he played in the Darko Cukic Tournament in Europe, with Australia placing fifth. He is currently a member of the UWA Torpedoes Australian Water Polo League Squad.

We thank Julian for his contribution to the programme at Scotch College and congratulate him on receiving Honours for Water Polo.

Campbell McAullay (Year 12 Shearer House)

Campbell has represented Scotch College in the Firsts Water Polo team each year since Year 10. He held the position of Co-Captain of Water Polo in Year 12 in recognition of his strong leadership and leaves the sport as a Dickinson Cup winning captain.

Campbell was particularly adept at scoring goals early in a quarter in order to direct the momentum in Scotch's favour or, when the play was against the College, to put Scotch back in the game. In 2020, despite always attracting the opposition's best defensive player, he was the top goal scorer for Scotch College and consequently was named the Most Valuable Player.

Beyond the College, Campbell has won numerous gold medals in both the State and National Leagues. He was selected for the Under 17 State Schools team in 2018 and for the Australian team that toured Europe in both 2017 and 2019. In 2020, Campbell was a member of the Under 18 Australian squad of 20 players, preparing for the Under 18 FINA World Championships, which unfortunately were cancelled.

We congratulate Campbell for receiving Honours for Water Polo.
