One of OHA Week’s most meaningful moments was the presentation of the OHA Outstanding Young Alumni Awards, which recognised seven remarkable individuals across five fields of expertise. These inspiring recipients are proof of the extraordinary paths our alumni continue to forge:  

Grace Laing (OH 2018) 

Grace’s voice has been turning heads since she was young and not just in the School auditorium. As a finalist on The Voice Kids, she captured national attention with her powerful vocals and stage presence beyond her years.  

Since then, she has continued to impress and recently starred in the hit Cruel Intentions: The Musical. Grace combines passion with professionalism in every note she sings, making her a proud Haileybury alumna and an inspiring role model for the next generation of performers.   

Beau Woodbridge (OH 2020)  

Beau’s passion for performance was nurtured during his time at Haileybury, where he thrived in the School’s vibrant Performing Arts program. 

With standout lead roles in Legally Blonde and Guys and Dolls, he quickly became a familiar face on the School stage. Since then, Beau has toured nationally and internationally, performing in New Zealand and the UK.

After earning a Master of Arts from the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London, he returned to Australian stages, most recently starring as the lead in the highly anticipated Australian premiere of the Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen.  

Daniel Harrison (OH 2009)  

When Daniel left Haileybury, he did not have a clear career path but what he did have was a connection to a lifelong network. Through the Old Haileyburians Association, a chance opportunity in a fellow OH’s car leasing business helped him gain the training and experience that would shape his future.

He went on to spend over a decade at Toyota Finance, rising to the role of Compliance and Customer Experience Manager. In 2023, Daniel took the leap and co-founded Billiecart, a novated leasing business now proudly partnering with schools including Haileybury and St Margaret’s. His story is a powerful example of how resilience, initiative and the strength of Haileybury connections can pave the way to success.  

Tuscany Williams (OH 2010)  

Tuscany is a remarkable force in the world of golf, driven by a passion for creating and nurturing a vibrant female golf community. In 2019, she founded Women Who Golf, a global network of enthusiastic female golfers dedicated to supporting each other and celebrating their love of the game.

What started as a small community has grown into the world’s largest female-focused golf group, earning Tuscany recognition from media outlets around the globe. Always forward-thinking, she continues to explore new ways to empower and serve women golfers everywhere. 

Sherman Quach (OH 2015)  

Sherman’s own health challenges during Year 12 sparked a deep calling towards healthcare. Since then, he has blended rigorous study with meaningful service, volunteering as an English teacher in Indonesia, earning his Doctor of Optometry, and completing clinical placements in places like rural India, where he worked tirelessly to combat tropical eye diseases.

Sherman’s journey is a testament not only to academic excellence but also to his generous spirit and unwavering dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of others.  

Luke Davies-Uniacke (OH 2017)  

Luke’s journey from Haileybury to the AFL spotlight has been nothing short of remarkable. In his final year at school, he was a key player in the Haileybury First XVIII team that clinched the premiership, showcasing his talent early on. Soon after, Luke was selected by the North Melbourne Football Club as their first pick and fourth overall in the 2017 AFL draft.

Since then, he has become one of North Melbourne’s standout players, boasting 130 games and earning the club’s prestigious Best and Fairest award in the 2024 season. Luke capped off an incredible 2025 by finishing at the top of North Melbourne’s leaderboard in the Brownlow Medal vote count, a true testament to his dedication and skill on the field.  

Kavinya Dissanayake (OH 2020)  

Kavinya’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience, determination and breaking barriers. While completing a Bachelor of Business at UNSW Canberra, she simultaneously undertook rigorous military training, commissioning into the Australian Air Force.

Today, as a Logistics Officer, Kavinya is not only dedicated to her service but is also passionate about advocating for women in leadership and STEM. Drawing inspiration from her roots as the daughter of migrant parents, she embodies the values of service, gratitude and giving back by encouraging young women everywhere to challenge the status quo and reach for their dreams.
