3 I left Shore with a purpose, a faith, leadership skills Peter Conway ( 70) Why do I support the Headmaster s Scholarship and Bursary Programme? Simply put, I came of age while a Shore boy. I arrived at Shore as an awkward 13 year old, but left at age 18 with a purpose, a faith, leadership skills and an excellent preparation for College. It was at Shore where I was inspired to examine my nascent faith and make it my own. It was at Shore where I decided that I wanted to be a school teacher and a coach. Finally, it was at Shore where I made a number of intimate friends who remain so despite half a world s separation. Peter Conway is an Old Boy of the School and former teacher His love of Shore has motivated him to provide funds to establish the Peter F. Conway Scholarship in 2012.

5 Charlie Westhoff (2014) RAI Grant Music Scholarship I feel extremely fortunate to have attended Shore through the RAI Grant Music Scholarship, and I m very grateful for the generosity of the Shore community. The opportunity to learn in a world-class environment presented me with a facilitative learning experience that was far beyond what I could have hoped for. Shore s nurturing environment functions as a stepping stone where goals are realised and made to feel attainable, and as I make my way forward in life I will do so as a very proud Shore Old Boy. Charlie will commence studies in 2015 at the Royal College of Music, London under the tutelage of Itzhak Rashkovsky internationally renowned Russian-Israeli violinist and pedagogue. A stepping stone where goals are realised. Charlie Westhoff
