Samuel prides himself on being of service to others and acting as a role model for peers and future generations. At school, he raised awareness and funds for social justice initiatives including Mission Australia’s SleepOut, United Nation’s Tolerance Day, 40 Hour Famine and helped raise funds for the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women’s Shelter and was recognised for his commitment to community service with various awards.
