Essay explored impact of war

Rose Bay High School was extremely proud of their student Nate Brennan who received strong commendation for his entry in the Frank MacDonald MM Memorial Prize.

Nate's essay explored the devastating effect World War I had on Australian/Tasmanian Society and also thoughtfully examined the reasons why we commemorate the Centenary of our participation in this conflict.

Nate's work was of an outstandingly high quality and unsurprisingly, from a highly contested field, Nate was selected as one of the State’s 12 finalists. While it was disappointing Nate did not secure the ultimate prize after producing a high calibre entry and competently performing in an interview, he is to be applauded for the exemplary success he did achieve. To produce work superior to that submitted by over 120 entrants state-wide and be short listed are incredible accomplishments. In view of that, Nate should be exceptionally proud of his endeavours and the well deserved acclaim and positive recognition he has received.
